Turkey Insurance

About us

We're building a modern travel insurance product for everyone traveling to Turkey and beyond. Turkey is not in the EU or Schengen area, so the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) does not apply—private travel insurance is essential for medical cover, repatriation, and trip protection. Whether you're visiting Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, or the coast, we're making the process simple and transparent. This site is your resource for entry requirements, e-Visa info, and practical travel tips. We're preparing to launch our plans soon—get in touch to be the first to know.

About turkey-insurance.com: Transparent Travel Insurance for Turkey and Beyond

turkey-insurance.com was created for travelers who want clear, reliable travel insurance for Turkey and other destinations without the usual confusion. Turkey is a top global tourism destination, welcoming tens of millions of international visitors each year, yet many travelers still assume European-style public healthcare access applies. Turkey is not in the EU or the Schengen Area, and the EHIC does not apply. For most visitors, medical treatment is handled privately or through private arrangements, which is why we focus on private travel insurance that can respond quickly when costs arise. Many nationalities also need an official Turkey e-Visa or visa exemption to enter, and travel insurance is increasingly viewed as a practical part of trip planning alongside flights, accommodation, and entry requirements.

We built this platform after seeing the gap between how modern travelers buy trips and how traditional travel insurance is still sold. Conventional policies are often packed with exclusions that only appear deep in the wording: limits on pre-existing conditions, strict definitions of “adventure sports,” reduced cover for personal electronics, high excess amounts, or narrow rules on when you must contact assistance. Another frequent problem is comparison fatigue. Travelers can spend hours trying to compare benefits that are described differently across products, while price differences may reflect small print rather than meaningful protection. Claims are the final pain point: many insurers still rely on manual paperwork, slow document checks, and long timelines that can leave customers out of pocket for weeks. These friction points are out of step with the broader travel industry, where booking and managing a trip has moved decisively online.

Our approach is digital-first, designed around transparent pricing and policy clarity. We focus on presenting coverage in plain English, highlighting key limits and conditions early, and making it easy to see what is included and what is not. We aim to reduce surprises by setting expectations upfront, particularly around common claim triggers like medical treatment in private hospitals, trip interruption, lost baggage, and delayed travel. We also recognize that travel in 2026 looks different from even a few years ago: higher medical costs, more remote work abroad, more multi-stop itineraries, and increased disruption risk from weather events and operational delays. That shift has accelerated demand for travel insurance that is easy to buy, easy to understand, and responsive during a real incident. Across the insurance market, online distribution continues to grow, driven by customer preference for self-service purchasing, faster underwriting decisions, and digital claims handling. Travel insurance, in particular, is moving toward app-based documentation, real-time support, and automated checks that can shorten the time between submission and payout.

Fast, fair claims handling is central to why turkey-insurance.com exists. A policy only proves its value when something goes wrong, so we prioritize a claims process built for speed: clear documentation requirements, guided submission, and structured timelines that reduce back-and-forth. We also provide multilingual 24/7 support because emergencies do not wait for office hours, and travelers in Turkey may need immediate assistance coordinating with local providers. Support that can communicate across languages can make a practical difference in urgent situations, from finding an appropriate clinic to understanding invoices and discharge documents. Our aim is to help customers get the right help quickly, and to make the claims process feel like a service rather than an obstacle course.

Our team brings insurance industry expertise across underwriting, assistance operations, product design, and customer support. That background matters because travel insurance is not just a checkout add-on; it is a regulated financial product with real-world implications. We build and refine our offerings based on how claims actually occur, where misunderstandings commonly happen, and what travelers to Turkey most frequently need. We also track changes that affect visitors, including evolving airline disruption patterns, local healthcare billing practices, and the practical realities of traveling with families, older travelers, or people with ongoing medical needs. Our mission is simple: make travel insurance straightforward for Turkey and other destinations by combining clear information, transparent pricing, and modern service standards. If you want coverage designed for private healthcare realities in Turkey, supported by a digital-first experience and human help when it matters, turkey-insurance.com is built for you.
