Great value policies

5
The application form is easy to fill in, even the medical questions. The price for the level of cover is great value. I haven't needed to make a claim yet (thankfully) so cannot comment on that, but am more than happy so far. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

Easy website. Efficient service. Quick response. Documents easy to understand Reviewed on: 13th August 2018

Confidence in this Company

5
OK so I have not had to make a claim yet but this was one of the very few companies I could find that offers some protection in case I am unable to use my time-share. I have renewed a couple of times with World First and, frankly, find the health interrogation rather off putting. However, I think it shows they take their job seriously and at least it gives the confidence that should a claim be necessary, it shouldn't be thrown out because I haven't declared something I should have with an insurer who just accepts customers "on the nod".

Despite past issues, satisfied with WF moving forward

In 2017 I had a bag stolen whilst in Peru. I was insured with World First and had to appeal to have my items reimbursed. This was a stressful process and hit me time-wise and financially. However, when insuring a similar trip in 2018, no other company could match WF's price or cover. After receiving my money in full after my issues in 2017 (albeit after many months), I decided to buy insurance from WF again. Touch wood, so far I've had no issues, but I hope if I do the process of claiming will be less stressful than last time. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018
