"I renewed with them because others failed my "small print" test"

They are regulated and operated in UK (unlike seemingly cheaper alternatives). They were clear about age related costs during the telephone quote. Others hid similar exclusions in the "tiny print". Recently I damaged a tablet pc in my luggage and the claim process was clear and straightforward. They paid the value less normal depreciation and excess.

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."
