Faye Travel Insurance Review
Faye Travel Insurance is a cool startup that launched in 2019. They offer travel insurance for all kinds of trips, whether you're exploring abroad or staying closer to home. What's great is that Faye Travel Insurance digitizes the entire process of purchasing and using travel insurance, from getting a quote to filing a claim, with a mobile app that handles it all.
Plans and Coverage
With Faye, you'll get complete coverage that takes care of important things like lost baggage, trip cancellations, and medical emergencies.
Faye's got you covered for those unexpected situations that can really ruin your trip, such as sudden cancellations, delays, natural disasters, and even political unrest. And yes, they treat COVID-19 just like any other illness, so if you get sick during your trip, they'll cover your medical expenses and any extra costs you might incur. However, they don't cover federally mandated testing.
When it comes to pricing, it depends on the level of coverage you choose. For example, a basic plan for a one-week trip to Germany could cost you around $135. If you want add-ons like car rental coverage, cancel for any reason, or pet care, there might be extra charges.
Financial Strength and Reputation
Faye works with the United States Fire Insurance Company, which underwrites their travel insurance plans. They also offer non-insurance services like 24/7 travel assistance, real-time flight alerts, and emergency medical services provided by Global Excel Management Inc. The United States Insurance Company has an A rating (Excellent) from A.M. Best, so you can trust their financial stability.
Faye has a solid reputation — with a 4.6 rating on Trustpilot — although they only have 20 reviews. Unfortunately, they're not yet listed or rated on the Better Business Bureau.
Customer Service
Faye has your back with their customer assistance services. You can reach out to their support team anytime, 24/7, 365 days a year. They're real people who can help you out before and during your trip, and they can clarify anything you need to know about your coverage. If you prefer digital communication, you can email them at [email protected].
And don't forget, they also have an awesome app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. With the app, you can easily sign up for coverage, stay updated on real-time flight info, check your destination's COVID-19 requirements, and get in touch with Faye directly.
So, if you're looking for travel insurance that's simple, modern, and designed with young travelers in mind, Faye Travel Insurance might just be the perfect fit for you.
