It could well have been 5stars but for a confusing quote 24 hours after the quote that said was valid for 28 days. It was however rectified after a frustrating telephone call.
This company was so helpful in getting my travel insurance. They were very polite, understanding of my health issues that needed more details from my recent diagnoses. I was very happy at the price I... See more

Horrendous service,
Horrendous service,
I am on holiday and I had a sudden blurred vision that seems to be permanent. World first insurance arranged an online consultation with a GP on January 1st. The doctor told me he was going to send me a report. 36 hours later and despite several requests I am still waiting for it.
Today I decided to have a face to face at the nearest A&E at the nearest medical centre, it is private. The doctor saw me within 5 minutes and told me to go urgently to the main hospital one hour away from here in order to see an opthalmologist. But before leaving the private medical centre needs payment.
I have been waiting more than 2 hours for the medical team of world first travel to guarantee the payment, I have emailed them the medical report of the private doctor and email from the private centre, spoken to world travel insurance several times telling them to send an email of guarantee of payment.
And no response.
Every time I call world travel they tell me that the medical team needs to have a look at the medical report and to wait!
The staff answering the phone out of office hours seems to be in a call centre in India with a phone like of very poor quality and with call handlers hard to understand and unhelpful.
Claim number given by medicalops: 814575

Tom was so very helpful
Tom was so very helpful, when you are HIV and have dealing with cancer it’s so tough to get cover for a simple holiday, Tom walked me through everything and assisted me to get the cover and peace of mind I needed, he was kind, patient, and so very calming in a very difficult circumstances. I would now not go to any other company. I am so grateful to know that everything is ok and we are covered. Well done Tom !
The agent actually listened!

Amazing
Amazing! I have used this insurance company on every trip I take. I have claimed twice and it was all very easy and stress free. Once when I was in hospital in Thailand with Influenza for 4 days and one when our bus to the airport was a no show and we claimed the hotel we had to pay for the extra night by the airport and the additional flight cost. 10/10
A lovely company
I spoke to a very helpful, professional and knowledgeable agent who was very kind and patient.
The quote I received was very good and, importantly covered all my 'medical issues'. A lovely company.
