"Over 65 and couple of medical issues"

"Over 65 and couple of medical issues. Only insurance company that I've found who base their premiums on your medication. Puts your medical condition in perspective. Got a full years cover including cruise cover at a very reasonable price. Far and away the best cover for the money. Online site very easy and straightforward. Price quoted was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for brilliant service."

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."
