Review of the World First Travel Insurance, Travel insurance:

A very sensitive and thorough assessment of our needs followed by a very reasonable quote

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

Have used this company for quite a few years and feel they give great value for money with an excellent service and would highly recommend for all your travel needs. Thank you for everything Reviewed on: 6th September 2023

Hassle free insurance

5
I’ve used World First many times. My husband had leukaemia and we found it difficult to get reasonably priced holiday insurance. World First were recommended by the hospital and certainly lived up to their reputation. On one occasion due to my husband’s illness we had to cancel our trip and got a full refund. Would recommend to anyone looking for insurance. Reviewed on: 5th September 2023

So simple - no jargon!!!!!!!

Once I'd stated my condition, the questions asked dealt specifically with that and nothing else. The ease of sorting was a godsend and can't recommend highly enough!!! Reviewed on: 5th September 2023
