Trip cancellation
Relax knowing that you can recover prepaid, non-refundable costs when illness, a family emergency, or another covered reason means you can't take the trip you planned.
Peace of mind
Travel insurance can save your vacation.
A carefully planned trip represents your real money, time, and anticipation. Travel insurance is the quiet safety net underneath all of it, protecting you from unforeseen "turbulence".
There are a lot of travel insurance companies out there, but we've partnered with Faye to protect the vacations we plan. Faye has proven time and time again to be there for you, our clients, when your trip is on the line.

With Faye, you're covered
Protection for the moments even we can't plan for.
Emergency medical
Coverage for unexpected medical care while you travel such as ambulance rides, doctor's visits, or ER stays; often where your everyday health plan stops working the moment you cross the border.
Lost or delayed baggage
Reimbursement when your luggage is lost, stolen, or delayed, so a missing bag doesn't derail the first days of your getaway and cost a whole new out-of-pocket wardrobe.
Trip delay protection
Stuck in a delay or missed your connection? You'll have help with meals, lodging, and rebooking when weather or mechanical issues leave you stranded between point A and point B.
Emergency evacuation
Arrangement and coverage of medical evacuation or transport home, often in the event of natural disasters or unrest. The line item nobody expects, and the one that's hardest to absorb.
24/7 assistance
A real team based in the US to call for help when something goes sideways abroad: no AI agents or long hold times, just a calm and knowledgeable voice in a different time zone. This team is also available via text in the Faye app.
Is it worth it?
Peace of mind when it matters most.
While travel insurance isn't right for every trip, it's important to understand when you should consider a policy. The coverage it provides rarely feels urgent until the moment you need it, and while we'll never push a policy on you, we do want you to consider all the factors. Below, we'll go over the elements of a trip that tend to tip the scales in favor of a policy so you can decide what's right to cover your vacation.
01
Non-refundable trip costs
Often, a travel insurance policy can save you money over purchasing refundable tickets. The more you've prepaid that you can't get back, the more there is to protect. Once-in-a-lifetime trips, international vacations, or group trips with a high cost are exactly the ones worth insuring to protect your investment.
02
Weather-related emergencies
Tropical island getaways, rainy-season deals, and winter wonderlands are gorgeous, but weather-dependent. The right insurance plan can protect your well-priced beach week washed out by a storm, your Caribbean cruise booked squarely during hurricane season, or your Japanese ski trip with a record-breaking 12-feet of snow fall overnight.
03
International & remote destinations
Your US health plan likely stops at the border, but your medical needs do not. While many destinations have robust health care systems, the price for care can be astronomical if sickness, accidents, or emergencies occur. Also, the farther you roam from a major hospital, the more medical and evacuation benefits can really earn their keep.
04
Strict supplier policies
While airlines are the worst offenders here, some cruise lines and resorts also leave little room for changes or refunds when your plans change. If you miss the flight, the ship, or the first night, comprehensive coverage helps you catch up or recover the non-refundable costs.
