Review of the World First Travel Insurance, Travel insurance:

A very sensitive and thorough assessment of our needs followed by a very reasonable quote

5
They have a very professional and bespoke approach to providing insurance for those with medical conditions. Having gathered lots of evidence they provided us with an excellent quote. I was impressed that they did not seem to be reading from a prompt sheet but actually listened to me and our actual situation. Reviewed on: 21st September 2016

1st Class Service

Very easy to apply and very informative and prompt response. Reviewed on: 24th August 2020

Reliable, good communication, recommended

I'd definitely recommend World First. They provided comprehensive cover for my recent (pre-lockdown) trip and were reliable and great at keeping in touch when needed. Reviewed on: 24th August 2020

good for cancer patients

5
These guys give insurance for a reasonable premium but pile on the excess. This is great if, like me, you don't make a claim. There is NO REASON why I should not go cruising whilst I am on maintenance treatment for cancer - I am not going to suddenly drop dead or anything! I have had this for 4 years now, never had any emergency with it, and World First treat me fairly. it has been said that your insurance is as good as your first claim - but I have never made a claim and these guys are one of the very few who will cover me at a fair price. Good for World First. I have already recommended them in some of the Facebook groups I am in. Reviewed on: 24th August 2020

Value for money

5
Excellent choice of insures especially for people who have pre excising medical conditions there advisers offer an understanding demean-a and then offer a very competitive value for money quote Reviewed on: 24th August 2020

Excellent service and great price

5
Having Crohn’s disease has always meant I have had to pay a much higher travel insurance than anyone else for my age and most high street providers won’t even give me a quote. I always go with World First, as they’re rates are always the best and their service is first class. Would highly recommend to anyone who has a medical condition, their screening is very quick and their coverage broad. Reviewed on: 24th August 2020

Excellent service and price

5
I have had a previous medical problem and found it difficult to get reasonably priced travel insurance. Then I found World First! Excellent price and good level of cover. I have unfortunately had to claim on a couple of occasions (none to do with my original medical problem) and there has been no problem with reimbursement. Would thoroughly recommend.
