What Exance Terrorism Insurance covers

  • Property Damage

    Our Terrorism Insurance provides coverage for physical damage to buildings, equipment, and other assets caused by acts of terrorism. This includes damage from bombings, arson, or other malicious acts intended to harm or disrupt.

    This ensures brokers can address their clients’ concerns about safeguarding their physical assets and property investments.

  • Business Interruption

    Terrorism Insurance covers financial losses stemming from business interruption due to terrorist attacks. If a business cannot operate due to physical damage or government-mandated shutdowns, this coverage provides compensation for lost income during the recovery period.

    Highlighting this feature helps brokers protect clients’ operational continuity and financial stability.

  • Loss of Rental Income

    For property owners and landlords, the policy covers lost rental income when tenants are unable to occupy the premises due to damage caused by terrorism. This ensures consistent revenue even in the aftermath of disruptive events.

    This is a critical offering for brokers serving real estate clients and investors.

  • Debris Removal and Cleanup Costs

    Acts of terrorism often leave behind significant debris and damage that require costly cleanup. Our policy includes coverage for the removal of debris and restoration of the site, allowing businesses to rebuild efficiently.

    Brokers can emphasise this feature to reassure clients about the full scope of recovery support.

  • Damage to Infrastructure

    Coverage extends to damages to on-site infrastructure such as fences, parking areas, and utilities caused by terrorist activities. This ensures that even secondary assets are covered under the policy.

    This comprehensive protection supports brokers in providing holistic solutions for their clients.

  • Denial of Access

    If authorities restrict access to a business location due to a terrorist threat or attack, our policy compensates for financial losses incurred during the closure period. This includes situations where no physical damage occurs but operations are still disrupted.

    This feature is particularly valuable for businesses in high-traffic or high-risk areas.

  • Threat Response and Prevention Costs

    Our policy may include coverage for costs associated with responding to and mitigating terrorism threats, such as enhanced security measures, risk assessments, and temporary relocations.

    Brokers can position this as a proactive solution to minimise risks before incidents occur.

  • Legal and Professional Fees

    In the aftermath of a terrorist attack, legal and professional services may be necessary to navigate claims and recovery processes. Our policy covers these associated costs, ensuring a smoother path to resolution.

    This ensures brokers can offer clients end-to-end support in crisis situations.

  • What Is Not Covered

    While comprehensive, Terrorism Insurance does not typically cover:

    • Damage from war or acts of foreign military forces.
    • Losses due to riots or civil commotion unrelated to terrorism.
    • Cyberattacks or data breaches (covered under Cyber Insurance).

    Brokers should clarify these exclusions to manage expectations and guide clients to complementary policies where needed.
