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

Excellent coverage for pre-existing conditions

5
As someone with an inactive medical condition, I often find it difficult to get travel insurance that isn't extortionate. By asking what medication I take and a few questions, I was able to get reasonably priced insurance with World First. I always recommend others in the same boat to check them out - excellent service!
