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

Value for money Travel Insurance

5
I recently bought Travel Insurance from World First, ithe website was simple and easy to use, even after explaining via the site that I had been treated recently for having “Pneumonia” this was vetted via the site and I didn’t have to pay any extra as a top up to the Travel Insurance, great buy and inexpensive! Definitely recommend and will use again. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2018

Holiday insurance

A quick and efficient website and the price was good. Thankyou Reviewed on: 23rd August 2018

Such a good travel insurance company

5
The process was so easy to select which insurance type was good for me and my 3 month adventure. The prices are affordable too and there are great reviews. I’m yet (and hopefully will not!) make a claim but the process seems simple. Would definitely recommend! Reviewed on: 23rd August 2018

Fantastic

5
The website is very easy to use. In the past I have found World First very competitive if you have medical problems. My Dad had cancer and worldfirst insured him for his holiday saving him £200 from quotes for other companies Reviewed on: 23rd August 2018

Good value, good cover

Easy to buy and competitively priced Reviewed on: 23rd August 2018

Great Travel Insurance Cover for Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

4
I have had problems for some years getting reasonably priced travel insurance, although my medical conditions are more inconvenient than life-threatening. But for the last few years World First have come up trumps - with excellent cover for really low costs. I have recommended them to a number of my friends, one of whom I know has actually taken out their insurance. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2018

Fantastic company already recommended

5
By far the policy that covered my health conditions including blood cancer and depression and chronic pain syndrome. It was half the cost of the next equivalent cover. Also the only one I found that specified my particular cancer, rather than asking generic questions about non-hodgkins lymphoma, I could select follicular lymphoma. I have already recommended them to several people looking for travel insurance. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2018

Really good value insurance best quote i recieved

Has I had recently undergone Hospital Treatment and needed insurance for Thailand I found World First the Best by far'; Reviewed on: 21st August 2018

The best price I have found and great medical cover

5
Since I have been left with a tracheostomy after cancer I found it hard to get holiday insurance but McMillan gave me a worldwide travel leaflet and I called and in a ten minute call I had medical cover and now I use them every year and a really good price when you see what they cover you for .
