Second year being insured with World First for travel insurance and have had no problems at all

Quick online quote, comprehensive cover

Having a pre existing medical condition buying travel insurance can be a mine field but World First has a great website and I had a quote, covering my medical condition in minutes! Reviewed on: 7th July 2017

World First - First Class

World First, world class!

I have often purchased World First insurance immediately prior to travelling. It's such absmooth and easy process. Reviewed on: 6th July 2017

World First put Family First

5
World First were swift to respond to our 'what if...' questions about travelling and explained the insurance services they provide. By the time we went on holiday, we felt confident that World First cover meant that we could relax and enjoy our holiday to the max because should the unexpected happen, we knew we'd be protected.

Affordable travel insurance for people with existing medical conditions

World First Annual Travel Insurance came out as one of the cheapest for my husband and I who both have medical conditions. Easy to renew on-line but the tele-sales team are also very helpful and pleasant. Recommended! Reviewed on: 6th July 2017

Best cover ever for mild asthma sufferer

5
Easy to apply online. I suffer from mild asthma and I regularly cycle 10-15 miles without having to take any Ventolin medication. World First were the only company that asked if I get out of breath after exercise. The world wide annual multi trip cover was cheaper than any other insurance company policy for a single trip.

Reassurance and insurance

5
With long term health problems affecting both my wife and I it was always a worry when planning holidays that travel insurance could be unavailable or very expensive. Some companies were apparently more interested in increasing the fee (as both a deterrent and a money making exercise?) but World First have always have always been very professional and reassuring.

At last I was insured and not denied due to cancer last year.

5
Having been denied insurance cover from 2 companies due to ovarian cancer last year, it was good that World First listened and agreed cover for a holiday in Valencia for my husband and me. Just after diagnosis in March 16, we went on a hoilday to South Africa having a year's cover that was still valid. Despite a high grade cancer I was fine and did everything including walking, visiting a game reserve etc. and did not need to claim as I was fine.Yet, that company refused to cover me this year even though the operation and 8 cycles of chemo had worked extremely well. I am on no medication, am very fit and well .I believe that World First travel listened and insured us for a very acceptable amount.We did not need to claim and we intend to use the company again.Thank you.

Spoke to a very friendly, understanding person who asked questions about my health and was compassionate when asking them. Recommended to a friend who also found them helpful when arranging their insurance. Reviewed on: 6th July 2017
