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

Competitive prices

4
When I had cancer they offered a competetive rate and 6 years on it is priced lower and still very competetive. Easy to fill out forms Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

Very Easy to Insure well exsplained

4
It took me less than 5 minutes to get fully covered. A worry free cover giving me peace of mind before you travel, Although I thought they were a little expensive than some other travel insurance companies, I went with World First because they did have a good reputation as a company you can trust. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

An excellent people centred service

5
A very good experience organising travel insurance. Made very simple with no fuss at excellent competitive costs compared to other providers. An annual policy was similar price to other insurance company charges for single trip cover. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

First class service

5
Book insurance online with no problems whatsoever. Great price too for anyone with medical conditions. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

Comprehensive pre-existing illness insurance

5
I had been searching for comprehensive, and affordable, cover for a week in Italy during the summer. Other providers had quoted me astronomically high amounts given my pre-existing conditions - or I had to jump through many hoops to get a quote. However, World First provided a very easy process, and quoted me a very affordable price for the holiday. I have already reccommended the cover to my sister! Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

Can be cheap

4
World First CAN be competitive but not always. Website can be complicated to navigate. Only once claimed . efficient but communication poor. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

First for us

4
Excellent customer service a good product at a very competitive price that's why we always come to you first for our travel insurance. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

Best available for people with existing medical conditions

5
It took me a long time to find a company that would insure someone with MDS (Myelo dysplastic syndrome) and since finding World First I have been delighted with the service and value. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

ALWAYS USE WORLD FIRST FOR TRAVEL INSURANCE

5
I have World First Travel insurance for approx. 6 years. I was unable to obtain travel insurance with other companies unless I was prepared to pay £100s of pounds due to my medical condition. Once I spoke to WF - they understood the nature of my illness and offered me insurance way below the cost of the other companies I had contacted. I will always continue to use WF. Have recommended WF to many, many friends and colleagues - all of them have taken insurance offered by WF. Your staff are always pleasant to deal with and take time to listen and explain any queries.

FIRST CLASS TRAVEL COVER FOR THOSE WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS AT A SENSIBLE PRICE

5
I am 67 with a couple of medical conditions (who hasn't at our age!) which have never prevented me from doing things and travelling, but before I found World First I was finding other companies really took advantage by quoting prices ore than 300% more than the standard price.
