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

Reassuring people to travel with

5
For a couple of octogenarians, World First offered clear guidance through the labyrinth of medical declarations, pointed out cheaper levels of cover where appropriate, and were helpful when we wanted to change the dates on a long-haul trip. We've had three policies this year and won't hesitate to use them again (at any rate until we're 90!). Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Always helpfull

Staff go above and beyond with help on booking and after care Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Easy quick and good value

5
Easy on line purchase with clear details and good value for money for a short break away Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Easy to use website

5
Questions on the website seem sensible and related to the risk being evaluated. I take several medications for one condition but this has only to be evaluated once. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

No Hassle Insurance at a Great Price

5
Having Pre Existing Medical Conditions that are under control and getting older I was finding it more difficult to get World Wide Travel Insurance some of the quotes were costing more than my holiday. Fortunately a friend recommended I try World First and I am glad I did as I was able to obtain Insurance to cover my needs at a reasonable price, after I had received my quote online I spoke with World First who went through the details with me again and confirmed the quote. When I’m speaking with friends who need insurance I have no hesitation in recommending World First. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

It was really easy to purchase the policy, really fast process and so smooth

4
This policy was excellent value fir money. It had a low excess and covered me for all my families potential medical needs/emergencies. It was also great to get the electrical gadgets covered to as when travelling with younger children you always need to bring tablets and hand held gaming devices with you. Really fast process on the application stage and really smooth. Great travel insurance policy. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Very good value for pre existing conditons

4
I've used world first for the last few years and find the cost is very competitive. As yet, not had to take benefit. However, professionalism in dealing with the company is reassuring should I need help. I have already recommended World First to a few of my friends. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Excellent value and efficient

Always happy to help and advise. Excellent value for whole family but particularly for me as disabled. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

Good policy

5
Used this company for 10 years, prices have gone up quite a lot for preexisting medical conditions (which have not changed) this year which is disappointing but on the whole they are a good provider Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

No more travel?

5
They gave us travel insurance when no one else would, at a price we could afford. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019
