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 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.

Excellent

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

Affordability and ease of arrangement insurance

5
We found it amazing how much less the cover was and how easy it was to arrange - twice now - for cruise and fly/cruise. And we're both nearly ninety. How about that! Reviewed on: 6th July 2017
