Thank you for saving our holiday !

5
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

I booked a ski holiday in October ( to go 23rd Jan 2019) I upgraded my holiday insurance at the time of booking. In mid December I injured my spine - by early Jan it was clear I would not be able to ski. My holiday insurance paid out promptly & efficiently Excellent Service Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019

Have used this company several times as they cover all my husbands conditions and he has loads wrong with him from cancer to heart failure, we can travel abroad with peace of mind knowing that should anything happen we are covered.

I found it easy to take out the policy, and for a family of four it was great value! I'll be using World First again!! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019

Very fair terms for older people including with health issues

Our previous insurers jacked our premiums up by ridiculous amounts when we turned 70. World First offered us a fair premium, including a reasonable assessment of a significant but not major health issue. Cover is flexible and appropriate. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019
