Easy to use, competitive quotes, good for older travellers.

Affordable travel insurance for the over 60s

Great travel insurance doesn't have to break the bank. We offer a range of policies with different benefit levels that will suit the way you travel. Our Superior policy, for example, will give you up to £10million in emergency medical expenses as well as gadget cover and cancellation cover of up to £5000 – and of course, loss of baggage, money and valuables. Choose from a single trip policy for a one-off getaway or annual cover if you'd like the freedom to jet off anywhere, at any time. We cover thousands of medical conditions too.

Best of all, our travel cover comes at a price that's fair.

"Excellent service"

"I received excellent service when I rang World First. The medical screening process was very straightforward, and the price quoted was much better value than several other companies I had spoken to re travel insurance for over 60s with existing medical conditions. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for insurance."

Case study:
Shrewd shopper delighted with deal

Naomi Smith from Cornwall is a self-confessed shrewd shopper. Her family of four had previously purchased travel insurance through her husband's job as a civil servant. Then Naomi came across World First. The Smith's family travel insurance was due for renewal a week before Naomi's husband, Mark, was due to travel to Madrid for work. Naomi gave World First a call to see if we could offer a competitive annual policy.

"We needed a multi-trip, worldwide policy excluding America, Canada and the Caribbean but including winter sports," explains Naomi. "We went through our requirements and World First came up trumps. Their policy was 40% cheaper than we had been quoted by our existing insurer." As Mark was due to travel later that week, we emailed the policy documents immediately for the Smiths to look over. Their 12 month family policy was arranged in less than one hour.
