Review of the World First Travel Insurance, Travel insurance:

Friendly and well informed staff

Medical screening made easy, lots of questions but sensible ones. Premiums reflect the screening they are very competitive and much better than some of the companies that I tried. Staff seemed well trained and helpful Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Best cost vs quality provider

5
I chose World First to provide my travel insurance after extensive research. Of particular importance to me are low excesses and cover for scuba diving to 30m at the best price. I was quickly able to work out which sports add on I needed for the diving. The mobile site is really easy to use - so much so that I could quickly add the sports cover whilst on holiday. The cover level is excellent in comparison to other companies, and the price very reasonable. Reviewed on: 8th August 2019

Excellent, inclusive provider

I always have difficulty finding travel insurance, often insurers don’t understand previous medical history or just wont cover it at all without any information.
