Faye is a travel insurance plan built around a phone app, and it is the only trip cancellation provider in this comparison that prints sample prices on its home page: $4.36 a day for a 14-day domestic or cruise trip and $5.76 a day for a 14-day international trip. Its coverage page lists trip cancellation up to 100% of non-refundable costs and trip interruption up to 150%, so it covers the same core risk as the large carriers. Emergency medical expenses are covered up to $250K on a primary basis, with emergency medical evacuation up to $500K and access to more than 20K telemedicine doctors abroad through Air Doctor. Claims are filed in the app, and approved payouts go to the phone's wallet. Add-ons include cancel for any reason, rental car care up to $50K and pet care. The limits are mid-range rather than top tier, and lost belongings are capped at $200 per item, so travelers carrying expensive gear or booking very costly trips should compare higher tiers elsewhere.
