Fantastic travel insurance for a child with a medical condition!

5
I have used World First travel insurance on a number of occasions now, having been pointed in their direction by a medical professional, as I needed cover I could obtain simply and reliably for my child who has Cystic Fibrosis. The website is detailed but easy to follow. I haven’t needed to spend ages on the telephone or query anything as the online application is thorough but not too time-consuming with the premiums giving excellent value for money. I’d recommend giving them a try every time! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019

Fantastic

5
A very experienced company with efficiency and helpfulness. Very helpful and considerate. We will recommend your company to everyone as we are highly satisfied Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019

Great insurance for the retired

5
Easy to purchase with an extremely helpful agent. Past medical conditions now resolved were understood and discounted. Not the case with many others who simply work from a script and have no flexibility within their systems. So World First will get my vote every time. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019

Thank you for saving our holiday !

My husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year after we had booked our family holiday to Florida . After a major operation and 3 months of chemotherapy, his consultant suggested a month off chemo and to go on our holiday . I tried so many travel insurance companies and they ranged from a straight NO to a cost upwards of £3000 !!!!! World First was my last hope , the questions were straightforward and you offered us cover for £290 ! We were overjoyed ! Thanks to you the 9 of us from our family had the most wonderful 3 weeks holiday in Florida , it did my husband the power of good and he is now home and restarted on the last 3 months of his chemotherapy . He was happy and healthy the whole holiday and we didn’t make a claim ! Thank you World First ! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019
