Medical travel insurance for holidays from the experts

If you're living with a medical condition you'll understand how hard it can be to get affordable medical travel cover. Some companies might not even offer it at all. It's frustrating - especially when it's essential for your peace of mind whilst abroad.

At World First we offer comprehensive cover for thousands of medical conditions, for travellers aged up to 100 years. From angina to cancer, HIV and heart disease, we cover many conditions that other insurers won't. Best of all, we do it at a price that's fair. So if you've struggled to find cover elsewhere, we can help.

With us, there are no exorbitant quotes and you don't have to travel underinsured. You won't have to spend hours waiting for your quote either. With our online screening service you can get an affordable policy in minutes. But don't just take our word for it...

 

"Excellent service"

"Excellent service. We were impressed with the advice and manner in which we were dealt with in our enquiry about insurance for or our forthcoming cruise and the cover for our illness. We were dealt with by Steve who was extremely friendly and helpful."

We offer medical expenses cover for pregnancy and childbirth from week 0 to week 28 whilst you are away, as long as you have not experienced any previous complications in childbirth in the last 2 years.
