Specialist travel insurance for travellers who have had a stroke
If you've had a stroke or transient ischaemic attack ('mini stroke') in the past, getting travel insurance for a trip abroad can be difficult. Even if you've made a good recovery, many insurers will either turn you away or charge you a fortune to take out a policy. We're different. We can give you the same comprehensive cover as we give to all of our other customers. And we'll do it at a price that's fair. So what do you get with a World First policy?
We've put a lot of thought into our medical benefits. You'll get 24/7 access to an emergency medical assistance team and cover for up to £5 million worth of medical expenses, including the cost of replacing lost medication. If something really unexpected happens and you need emergency medical care while you're abroad, we'll fly a UK paramedic out to you to make sure you get the best treatment possible. No medical insurance travels better.
Call one of our customer service team on 0845 90 80 161 if you would like to talk things through. Or see what great value our cover can be by completing our simple online medical screening.
“You're the only company that would cover my medical conditions. I am feeling well and would not be travelling if I didn't. Although I have some serious medical conditions I am not ill. So thank you.”
Customer testimonial
What about other conditions? And what else do our policies cover?
Strokes affect everyone differently. But it's not uncommon to have associated medical conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Don't worry, we can still insure you. Just give us a few details on your medical history and in nearly all instances we'll be able to tailor a policy that gives you the cover you need, allowing you to jet off for a peaceful holiday.
Aside from the medical benefits mentioned above, you'll be covered for trip cancellation and abandonment, lost luggage, travel documents and cash, and public transport delays. You'll also have £2 million worth of personal liability cover and insurance for up to £50,000 worth of legal expenses. It's comprehensive cover and it gives you the freedom to travel without worrying about the ifs and buts.
With our straightforward online medical screening you can get a quote in a matter of minutes, just by answering a few clear questions about your medical history. Rather talk to someone? We understand. Call one of our knowledgeable customer service team on 0845 90 80 161 and we'll be happy to help. We're based in Exeter in the UK and open from 08:30 to 18:00 Monday to Friday and from 09:00 to 16:00 on Saturdays.
Medical travel insurance is what we do best. There have been many occasions where we have enabled customers to travel when they couldn't get insurance elsewhere. It's something we're really proud of. What else is in it for you? Well, we do everything with a caring and personal touch at a price that won't blow away your holiday budget. So try us. We offer a 14 day money back guarantee on all policies and are directly regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
