Case study:
Over the moon with World First
Mr and Mrs Tait from Dumfries were delighted with the annual travel insurance policy they bought over the phone from World First. The Taits had been struggling to find an affordable policy that covered Mr Tait's Parkinson's and ME. One insurer quoted as much as £500, just for Mr Tait's single trip cover.
With us, the Tait's got an annual policy that covered them both for just £121.96. "I am thrilled with the service from World First," explains Mrs Tait. "I got really sensible advice and a fantastic deal in just one phone call. I would recommend anyone needing travel insurance to try World First, especially people with health concerns or disabilities as they are so caring and supportive."

As you can see, we're not just talking about saving a few pennies when you insure with World First. It's possible to save hundreds of pounds. That could be the difference between a good holiday and a great holiday. It could even be the difference between going on holiday and not going at all. We also have an extremely low excess. So in the unlikely event that you need to make a claim, you'll never have to reach too far into your pocket.
