Questions about group travel insurance

There are a group of us going on holiday and some of us have pre-existing medical conditions. What is the best way to buy travel insurance?

We offer discounts for group travel insurance for travellers who want to insure at the same time so it is always worth phoning us if there are more than 20 of you. If anybody has a pre-existing medical condition then it will need to be declared to ensure cover can be provided.

Will there be anything extra to pay to cover my health problems?

In lots of cases we can offer medical travel insurance without any additional premium being payable. Where an extra payment is due, we try and keep it as low as possible. Our cover is often cheaper than Saga and Age Concern.

There is a group of us going on a scuba diving holiday. Will you offer a discount and how deep can we dive?

You can dive up to 30m free with our scuba diving travel insurance policy. But if you want to go deeper, go shark cage diving or even cave diving we can cover that too, for a small extra premium. And if you'd like to snap up a discounted rate for your group booking, just give us a call.

What about holidays in the UK? Do you offer cancellation insurance only?

We have a special policy called Guest First which is designed especially to cover UK holidays against cancellation and curtailment. There are no age restrictions and no policy excess when you claim.

We are all aged over 65 and one member of the party is 99. Can we still buy insurance from World First?

Our over 65s travel insurance covers anyone aged up to 100 and in many cases we can offer full cover for any health or medical problems.
