Review of the World First Travel Insurance, Travel insurance:

Friendly and well informed staff

5
Medical screening made easy, lots of questions but sensible ones. Premiums reflect the screening they are very competitive and much better than some of the companies that I tried. Staff seemed well trained and helpful Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Sensible pricing for people with underlying medical conditions

5
When I enquired why the cost of travel insurance was so competitive I was sensibly informed that people with pre-existing heart conditions manage their health rigorously and take suitable precautions, thus being a safer risk than many allegedly "healthy" or "fit" travellers. Wise words which makes this company stand out as almost all other companies penalise travellers who have had cardiac incidents and make travel insurance prohibitively expensive.

Wish I had contacted World first , first .

5
I needed travel insurance for a cruise. I tried many specialist companies and because I have health issues I contacted those that promised to cover most conditions. They wouldnt cover me I was becoming very stressed because the few that would provide insurance quoted several thousand pounds for an annual policy. Then I found World First. I was asked specific questions relevant to me and I was offered an annual policy including cruise cover for a couple of hundred pounds. And the whole process was so easy and stress free. I wont be using anyone else now and have recommended them to everyone. Dont look anywhere else. World first are the best. Reviewed on: 25th August 2020

The cover I needed at a fair price.

I bought travel insurance from World First early this year for a holiday in France which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to Covid-19.The cover was all that I wanted especially as I had received a bone marrow transplant in 2019,which I declared.Even taking this into consideration,the price was very reasonable and when I had to cancel the policy the conditions were quite acceptable.I will definitely take out another policy as soon as I feel safe to travel abroad again.
