FAQs

We treat COVID-19 like any other illness and can cover non-refundable cancellation costs if you become ill with COVID-19 before your trip starts, and emergency medical and trip delay expenses, like quarantine accommodation and extension costs if you become ill with COVID-19 in-trip and need to stay longer. See more about our commitment to COVID-19 coverage here.

Our plan provides trip cancellation, 100% of your non-refundable trip costs would be covered, capped at the estimated total trip cost you provide when you purchase Faye travel insurance. Examples of covered non-refundable costs may include flight tickets, hotel bookings, as well as ticket, show, and/or activity fees.

If you fall ill with COVID-19 while in-trip and need to quarantine, your emergency medical expenses and trip interruption expenses will be covered. This includes prescription drugs, hospitalization and the cost of your trip extension, such as unplanned accommodation. Our customer experience team will also help you find a doctor, a pharmacy nearby and a safe place to stay because your well-being is top of mind. 

Supplementing your Faye travel insurance plan with the Cancel For Any Reason add-on gives you the ability to cancel your trip for reasons other than those covered in your plan, as long as you do so at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled departure date. This includes being concerned about contracting COVID-19 while away. If you end up doing so, we’ll reimburse you for up to 75% of non-refundable trip expenses.
