Good quote based on detailed information
It was straightforward to apply for a quote. I have a medical condition, and the questions asked were relevant and detailed, so a reasonable quote could be given. Most insurers ask a limited set of generic questions on a medical condition and either won't insure based on this insufficient knowledge, or charge ridiculously high premiums.

Reasonably priced travel insurance for people with health issues.
I have used World First for the past few years as they are able to offer reasonably priced travel insurance that covers my various medical issues.

Very helpful agent who took me through the health questions clearly and carefully. I will use them again.
My only choice for travel insurance.
The advisors take their time when noting all pre-existing conditions. The whole process of buying my policy was smoothly done.
I’ve been with World First for many years and wouldn’t dream of going elsewhere for my very well priced annual travel insurance policy.

Every time I ring to arrange travel insurance the agent is always polite and explains everything to me, including any questions I have. As someone with complex health conditions it is extremely reassuring to know I am fully covered before I leave the UK. I used to purchase cover on trip to trip basis but now opt for annual cover as I feel confident every angle has been covered. I reccomend you to anyone I know is seeking medical cover. Thank you

I like this travel insurance company as I have used them before. I wasn't happy though when they added an extra premium on my world wide travel insurance because I intend to travel to India, because it was "world wide" travel insurance I wasn'taskedwhatcountriesI intended to visit.

After ringing many travel insurances that cover pre existing medical conditions this was the best one by a mile. Very reasonable price, have already recommend this company.
Easy process…
Medical condition questions don’t ask when condition/treatment occurred just was it over so many months ago…don’t understand the logic to this….anyway relatively easy process. One development would be to save customer details helping to make future quotes to be made significantly quicker.
Detailed Assessment
Asking more detailed questions regarding medical conditions allowed a more reasonable approach to be taken and a much better quote was provided.
Cost and service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
I’ve never claimed on travel insurance but Word First always seems the best choice for cost. I took out another policy this year and was offered a 20% discount by a REAL PERSON! It’s easy to apply on line but you can always talk to someone if need be. Highly recommended!
Very good service
USA travel insurance
I was looking for a competitive quote for a week’s travel to the USA. Having looked at various sites, world first travel insurance was far the best overall package. Using their site to choose and payment accepted, the documents just took a couple of minutes to receive.
So straightforward!
I was dealt with sympathetically and efficiently by a very polite young man. I didn’t have to wait, the phone was answered quickly and I was just impressed with your service.
Good value for holiday confidence
Getting holiday insurance from World First was a straightford process and the lady i spoke to was incredibly helpful and understanding even when presented with a long list of health issues. The price was very fair and good value. I know my wife and i can travel with confidence in a couple of months safe in the knowledge that in the unlikely event of our needing help it is just a phone call away. We have used World First several times and have always been satisfied.
