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

Best insurance Company for people with pre-existing medical conditions

5
Having tried a number of Companies there is no doubt I have chosen the best in World Travel for the following reasons. 1) the Company's screening process is the most rigorous I have experienced which gives me confidence that the cover is appropriate for my condition. 2) The premium is sensible. 3) Other big name Companies seem to use a mild screening process resulting in quoting unacceptable high premiums.

A straightforward experience producing a competitive quotation

We needed insurance for a pre-existing medical condition which we were able to declare accurately on the web site in a step by step process giving peace of mind for the holiday. Reviewed on: 25th July 2017

Best insurance provider I have found in many years to provide cover for medical conditions. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2017

No problem travel insurance.

As both my wife and I are over 80, finding travel insurance has been a hassle for more than ten years. Many companies will not even quote for elderly passengers. I have used World First for financial transfers for some years and when I learned that they offer travel insurance as well I rang them immediately, the response was totally professional, they understood our requirements and gave a very reasonably priced quote. No hesitation in using them the next time we need travel cover. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2017

Friendly, helpful, professional and comprehensive insurance

I took out World First Travel Insurance to cover my travels worldwide. The online application was easy and very competitive rate. However, the test of a good insurance company is when you need to make a claim. I dropped my camera in the sea on holiday in Ecuador and it was ruined. I phoned WF and they were both helpful and friendly, dealing with it very quickly. Within a very short time I had been paid and was able to get a replacement camera. Their Social Media presence is really good and they share interesting travel stories as well as marketing their wide range of insurance services. Highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

Great customer service..and they spoke English !

My husband has a medical condition and the people at World First were so sympathetic and understanding. We managed to get full cover at a reasonable price. Thank you World First Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

So far - excellent! Recommended.

I always shop around for an annual travel policy for myself and my partner. He has a medical condition which we have to declare and rates vary considerably because of this. I was very impressed with the rates quoted which were much better value than any others out of approx. ten companies. I also had a query a little later about something which was sorted out very quickly and efficiently. I hope that I don't have to claim; if the service is as good then as it has been so far then I would be very pleased. Definitely recommended. Reviewed on: 20th July 2017
