Cost Considerations and Practical Application in Kenya

The cost of comprehensive baggage and delay cover for multinational projects in Kenya can vary significantly based on project value, location, duration, and the specific risks involved. While a precise figure in Kenya Shillings (KES) requires a detailed risk assessment, premiums are typically a percentage of the total project value or insured sum. For a project valued at, say, KES 500 million, the annual premium might range from 0.5% to 2%, translating to KES 2.5 million to KES 10 million. Getso Consultants can assist in accurately valuing your project components and potential delay costs, providing crucial data for insurers to offer competitive rates and ensuring the cover aligns with your project's financial plan.
