Brexit Update: Since January 2021, most UK motor insurance policies no longer include Turkey. Even if your policy has a Green Card, check that TR (Turkey) is listed and not crossed out. When in doubt, buy a Turkish MTPL policy — it's the only guarantee.

Why UK Drivers Need Turkish Insurance

What changed after Brexit and what you need to do

🇬🇧

Brexit Changed Everything

Before Brexit, UK drivers could use their Green Card for third-party liability cover in Turkey. Since January 2021, many UK insurers have dropped Turkey from their coverage. Always verify before you travel.

📋

Check Your Green Card

If your UK insurer issued a Green Card, check that "TR" appears in the list of covered countries and is not struck through. If TR is absent or crossed out, Turkish MTPL is mandatory for entry.

🛂

Required at Every Border

Turkish border officers check insurance documents at all entry points — whether you cross from Bulgaria, Greece, or arrive by ferry. Without valid Turkish MTPL you risk being turned back or fined.

💰

From Just €26

Turkish MTPL for UK cars starts from €26 for 1 month. For longer road trips, 6 months costs €130 — the best-value option for overland travellers.

Entry Points into Turkey for UK Drivers

Most UK drivers enter Turkey overland through Europe or by ferry

🛂 Kapıkule (Bulgaria–Turkey)
The busiest overland crossing for drivers coming from Western Europe via Bulgaria. Open 24 hours. Most UK overland travellers use this route.
🛂 Pazarkule (Greece–Turkey)
Crossing between Kastanies (GR) and Edirne (TR). Popular for drivers approaching via Greece. Check current wait times before arriving.
⛴️ Ferry Routes
Ferries from Italy (Ancona, Brindisi) or Greece to Turkish ports (İzmir, Bodrum). Your Turkish MTPL is checked on arrival at the port.

💡 Tip: Buy your Turkish insurance before you leave the UK. Border officers at all crossings will check your policy. Having your PDF ready on WhatsApp avoids any delays at the crossing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from UK drivers travelling to Turkey

Does UK car insurance cover Turkey after Brexit?
Not automatically. The UK left the Green Card system after Brexit. Most UK insurers no longer include Turkey in their standard policies. You must check with your UK insurer and, in most cases, purchase a separate Turkish MTPL policy before entering Turkey.
Do I need a Green Card to drive in Turkey from the UK?
Turkey accepts Green Cards, but UK insurers rarely issue them with Turkey included post-Brexit. Even if your UK insurer provides a Green Card, check explicitly that Turkey (TR) is listed. If not, you need Turkish MTPL insurance.
How do UK drivers typically reach Turkey by car?
Most UK drivers travel through Europe — France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania or Bulgaria — and enter Turkey at the Kapıkule border crossing near Edirne. You must have Turkish MTPL insurance before crossing.
How much does Turkish insurance cost for a UK-registered car?
For a car: 1 month €26, 3 months €39, 6 months €130, 12 months €221. Prices also shown in Turkish Lira. Use our calculator above for exact pricing for your vehicle type and duration.
Can I buy Turkish car insurance before leaving the UK?
Yes. You can purchase online from anywhere in the world. Pay by card, receive your PDF policy on WhatsApp within 2 hours, and have your documents ready long before you reach the Turkish border.
Is my UK driving licence valid in Turkey?
Yes. A full UK driving licence is valid in Turkey. However, if you plan to stay longer than 6 months, you may need an International Driving Permit. For most visitors a UK licence is sufficient.
What documents do UK drivers need at the Turkish border?
You need: your UK passport, your UK driving licence, your V5C vehicle registration document, and your Turkish MTPL insurance policy. Have the PDF on your phone and a printed copy as backup.
Does Turkish car insurance cover me driving back through Europe?
No. Turkish MTPL covers you only within Turkey. For driving through European countries you need your UK policy or a Green Card covering those countries. Turkish MTPL is only required and only valid within Turkish territory.
