The new World First web site is to be launched this weekend. It marks the completion of first stage of a new era for us with a new emphasis on building our reputation across the Internet with a variety of social media outlets, this blog being one of the main ones.

Insurance doesn’t have a very good reputation. Insurers are only about one rung up on the interesting chain from accountants. But there’s more to us than you might think. Travel insurance is part of the travel industry. That’s already more interesting isn’t it? So we’re going to be talking about the travel industry, not just insurance. We’re going to be giving you useful (yes, and sometimes useless) information that you can use when you travel but also at dinner parties. For example, did you know that in Thailand you have to wear a shirt when driving? or that South Korean drivers cannot turn left except at certain intersections where indicated (disclaimer: these may be urban myths but as far as I can ascertain, are true, whatever happens, they make good conversation). We’ll be giving you tips ad advice and also encouraging comments and suggestions. What would you like to see?

We’ve been in this business a long time, since 1973 actually. We have the backing of leading insurers and we provide a wide range of specialist products that focus on people that would otherwise find it difficult to find insurance at a reasonable price elsewhere. We work with people with pre-existing medical conditions or products for older people who are turned down by conventional insurers. We can also help you if you like extreme sports, our cover is better than anything you’ll find elsewhere.

If you do have a pre-existing medical condition, we now have an online questionnaire that will enable you to to get your quote quickly and easily. Of course, if you do want to talk to a real person, you still can. The choice is yours.
