Faye is built around its app. You buy a whole-trip plan, then get flight delay and cancellation alerts, telemedicine with a network of more than 20,000 doctors, and claim filing from your phone, with approved payouts sent to your phone's wallet. Core cover includes trip cancellation and interruption, missed connections, trip delay, emergency medical and evacuation, and baggage. Add-ons cover adventure and extreme sports, cancel for any reason, vacation rental damage, pet care, rental cars and cancel for work reasons. Faye also publishes prices, which most insurers do not: from $4.36 a day for a 14-day domestic or cruise trip and $5.76 a day for international travel, so about $61 for two weeks at home. Plans are underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company or Great American Insurance Company. The site notes that some coverage may not be available in every state.
