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

Save on money transfers

5
This company has saved me A huge amount of money over the last seven years. Previously I used the British Banking System. The rate of exchange was lower AND I was faced with bank charges on top. I would recommend World First to anyone who needs to transfer money abroad on a regular basis. The banks seem to have woken up and are now trying to compete, a little too late in my opinion, maybe they could reimburse me for the overpayments. Reviewed on: 30th January 2018

Quoted,purchased, sorted - so easy!

5
As a mother of a child with anaphylaxis gettibg cover has been so difficult - till now! Will recommend to everyone who will listen! Such a simple, easy process with sensible screening questions. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 18th September 2017

Asked exactly the right questions

5
As someone in remission from CLL I've often come across 'medical prejudice' (my term!) when applying for travel insurance. World First asked appropriate questions and I therefore felt that their quote was fair and based on a sensible response to my answers. Such a relief. Reviewed on: 13th September 2017

At last I find a Medical Travel Insurance that is not a rip off

5
Amazing service, so helpful on the telephone and actually asked proper and appropriate questions that do not lump all cancer patients into the same horrifically expensive category. With my cancer the chance of something happening on holiday and me needing treatment before I get home is like 1% so why do I get such horrific quotes. This is the difference between going on holiday and not - £500 cheaper than nearest rival and I got over 20 quotes with most over £1000 - all in for less than £100 with World First. Thank you so much Reviewed on: 8th September 2017
