In life, we are often told to “expect the unexpected.” When it comes to travel, this could mean something exciting like stumbling upon a little coffee shop with the best espresso you’ve ever tasted or something less desirable like illness, lost luggage or flight delays.
We don’t know the location of every hidden gem coffee shop, but we do know the best way to handle vacation mishaps: travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you and your belongings in the face of travel troubles by providing reimbursement or coverage for unexpected issues that affect your trip.
Many people forgo this vital protection because the process can be confusing, time-consuming and cumbersome, but Faye Travel Insurance is on a mission to change that.

Here are a few of the areas where Faye’s coverage outshines the competition.
Emergency medical expenses
If you get sick before or during your trip, Faye can cover emergency medical expenses like nonrefundable trip cancellation costs, prescription drugs, hospitalization and physician costs up to $250,000 for international trips.
Trip delay reimbursement
If your trip is delayed for reasons outside your control, Faye can reimburse you up to $300 per day (a maximum of $2,100 per trip) for delays of more than six hours for expenses such as meals, hotels and prepaid items like tours or hotel stays that you may miss out on as a result of the delay.
Pet care coverage
If you are traveling with your pet, Faye has a pet add-on that can cover emergency health-related expenses your best furry friend may incur during your trip. If you leave your pet at home and experience a delay getting back to your furry friend, Faye can cover up to $250 in additional kennel expenses you may incur.
Extreme sports coverage
For more adventurous travelers, Faye Travel Insurance can cover activities like free diving and bungee jumping with the optional Adventure & Extreme Sports add-on. Its base plans cover regular skiing, surfing and snorkeling.
Traveling with confidence with digital-first insurance
Think of Faye Travel Insurance as your digital travel companion. Customer service representatives are available 24 hours a day when you have questions or need support. You can use the Faye app to purchase a travel insurance policy or file a claim. You can even access real-time trip updates and upload and store important travel documents.
The claims filing process is digital, and most claims are processed within a few business days of Faye receiving the necessary documentation. You can receive reimbursements on approved claims and common travel snafus through the convenient Faye Wallet digital card feature within the app. You can link this card to your Google Wallet or Apple Pay account for quick and easy access to your funds. Rather than paying out of pocket and waiting for reimbursement, you can purchase what you need when you need it.
The Faye app also gives you access to a network of 20,000 telemedicine doctors when you travel abroad and important contact numbers for nearby pharmacies, local U.S. embassies and more. Plus, you can purchase e-SIM data plans for international trips and access destination-specific tips on visa requirements, weather forecasts, helpful apps to download per location and a currency converter.
