I am 99 years old. Can you still cover me?
Our specialist medical travel insurance enables us to cover anyone aged up to 100 under our single trip policies. You'll still need to declare any medical or health problems, and might need to pay an additional premium. See our senior citizens travel insurance pages.
Can I declare my medical problems online?
Yes. Simply request a quote using our online calculator, and once you have selcted a policy you will be asked if you want to declare your pre-existing medical conditions.
What about if I am pregnant?
World First policies do not have any pregnancy related exclusions as long as you have not had any complications in previous pregnancies. Some insurers will say you cannot be insured after a certain stage, but at World First we beleive that is discrimination and do not have any such exclusions. More about pregnancy travel insurance.
