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

World first offers the best cover for people with an underlying illness / problem. Excellent service in setting up our cover Reviewed on: 5th September 2023

Great insurance for complex requirements

5
World First are a fantastic company for providing peace of mind when travelling with pre existing medical conditions. The screening is easy and classifies the risk well unlike so many others which assume all conditions are to be excluded or a hefty premium charged. Used it for many years now and cant be beaten on price and service for the level of cover provided. Reviewed on: 5th September 2023

First Class Business

5
During the earliest days of the pandemic, WFTI couldn't have been more accomodating in allowing me to cancel a policy I had taken out, for a soon thereafter aborted holiday. I promised to deal with them on the next available opportunity and am now doing so, for a holiday this month. I don't buy the cheapest insurance. I look for a proven claims expert, as an indication of quality. After all, should one need to claim, a demonstrable track record in meeting customer needs, is essential. That apart, the WFTI terms are all-encompassing, at a sensible premium. Excellent business! Reviewed on: 5th September 2023
