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

Fair and understanding company

5
My husband has always struggled to get cover due to a heart transplant 13 years ago. When k called, the staff were understanding and didn't presume anything. Logic was used to assess whether they could cover Him, rather than a blanket denial like other companies. I felt they were honest and explained pitfalls and high excesses upfront for certain parts of the cover and gave us fair insurance for the rest. Very happy and will definitely use them in the future Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Always the first choice.

5
I have used World First for over 8 years since my daughter was diagnosed with a rare liver disease. They provide exceptional value for money with a no hassle and quick way to purchase travel insurance for those with a pre-existing medical condition. During this time after initially buying the insurance we have had to make amendments due to my daughter's health in 2 separate occasions and these were both death with over the telephone and I received an understanding and compassionate response. I cannot highly recommend this company enough. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Gave me a policy which covered all my health needs

5
I was quoted by some other companies ridiculous amounts for a week long holiday. I have a chronic illness but take no medication and have never been admited to hospital. World first travel gave me an excellent policy for less than £20 I have recommended them to friends who are in a similar situation Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

So easy to deal with. Great value cover

5
World First cover me for my pre existing medical conditions at a really fair cost unlike some of their competitors. Medical screening is quick and straightforward and their annual multi trip policy offers complete peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone but in particular to people with medical conditions. Great company. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019
