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

This the second year we have used World First Travel .I find them very good as My husband has COPD and a gentleman rang me when I was renewing my year long policy, he went through the form with me which I found helpful as some questions don't have a set reply ,he was very helpful and the premium yet again was very reasonable . A lot of companies won't insure my husband or the premiums are way way out of my price range .excellent company with reasonable Prices Reviewed on: 6th August 2019

After having a heart attack I couldn't find anyone to insure me for holiday to new York. But WORLD FIRST INSURANCE did and made everything so easy . Wouldn't use anyone else now . Reviewed on: 6th August 2019

Great value even with pre-diagnosed medical conditions

5
World First were pretty much the only travel insurance company that gave me a very reasonable price even with my pre-existing bowel condition. Yes, you have to answer a few questions but it wasn't an instance huge extra premium like most others did as soon as you entered yes to "Any existing medical conditions?" A worthy nomination in my view! Reviewed on: 6th August 2019

Nothing ever a problem ...

Support through cancer

5
I was diagnosed with cancer and decided I needed a major holiday to look forward to at the end of my treatment journey which involved both surgery and chemotherapy. What I did not appreciate was the impact on travel insurance premiums. having been declined by several companies I found the service and comprehensive medical screening by World first to be truly outstanding. I have stayed with them for the following two renewals. Reviewed on: 6th August 2019
