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

Was very easy and simple without any confusion to purchase holiday insurance with World First Travel Reviewed on: 5th September 2018

I would always recommend World First Travel

5
Used First World Travel on several occasions for my mother’s travel insurance, as she is now 89, with a couple of medical issues, FWT have always been great value for money, covered all of her medical history issues and given a fully comprehensive cover. When taking an elderly person abroad on holiday, there is always some apprehension regarding health issues, with FWT cover I have always felt that if there were any problems I would have peace of mind regarding any medical situation.

Only problem I had was when altering plan you had to start again Reviewed on: 5th September 2018

Premiums are reasonable

I have used world 1st twice now, the online application is good. Beware that if you have health problems you read the questions carefully, if in doubt as to your answer world 1st deal with your query quickly and efficiently. The cover provided is excellent for the cost of the premium. I don't know about the claims procedure as I have not had to make a claim. If they are as efficient as they are in answering queries, there should be noproblrm. Reviewed on: 5th September 2018

Big decision

5
Quite an experience logging into all the battling companies trying to sell prospective customers , in my case it was Travel Insurance. With the help of my son , I think we made the best choice from the many contenders, `` World First`` off course. Reviewed on: 5th September 2018

Fantastic value for money

I suffer with type 2 diabetes and asthma. Other companies either would not cover my existing conditions or if they did charged anywhere up to £150 more. World First Travel covered my conditions at no extra cost. This is the 2nd time we have used them and it will not be the last. Reviewed on: 5th September 2018
