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

Confident on getting a good deal.

I first contacted 'World First' a few years ago after being given some outrageous quotes from other providers.This firm were very thorough in the information,required even down to needing to know the weight of both my husband and myself.At the end of the process we were given a brilliant and affordable quote which allowed us to keep travelling abroad for our holidays.I have since recommended them to every one we meet who is having trouble getting holiday insurance.

Very fair compsny

World first was the only insurance company that quoted a reasonable cost for travel insurance. Unlike quite a few others that I approached, people who have gone through cancer and other medical problems shouldn't be made to pay outrages premiums Reviewed on: 19th September 2016

The only company to meet our needs

5
My husband and I both had medical conditions to declare. Out of all the companies we tried, World First was the only one to ask relevant questions. We felt they understood our conditions and looked at our case with a sensible eye. We were more than pleased with their offer of cover and were able to go on a much-needed holiday with peace of mind. Reviewed on: 19th September 2016

Realistically priced travel insurance

5
I have taken out travel insurance with this company on many occasions in respect of my partner, who had a previous history of heart problems and latterly lung cancer. For a two week holiday in the Canaries during a remission period when the Consultant had agreed it would be safe to travel, I received many quotations for travel insurance that exceeded the cost of the holiday, but World First quoted an acceptable price and we were able to go.
