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

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

World First were so easy to all use. They arranged my travel insurance with minimum fuss. The quote I received was wonderful after the previous firm I approached.

Nothing was too much trouble for them. Apart from the medical records to be filled in, I found them marvellous. Thank you World First you made my holiday possible. Reviewed on: 13th August 2018
