What is Gurbet Kasko?

An insurance agency service brand for foreign-plated vehicle applications

Gurbet Kasko is the service brand of Özhedef Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri Limited Şirketi , used to give information about insurance products for owners of foreign-plated vehicles and to handle requests, quotes and policy processes on their behalf.

If you are coming to Türkiye (Turkey) with a foreign-plated vehicle, you can use Gurbet Kasko to ask about compulsory traffic insurance, extended liability cover, Kasko and roadside assistance, and to start a quote.

Compulsory traffic insurance covers damage you may cause to other people, within the terms of the policy. Kasko, on the other hand, can cover damage to your own vehicle — subject to the acceptance criteria, scope of cover and special terms of the insurer that issues the policy.

Insurance information for foreign-plated vehicles

What you can apply for

If your vehicle has foreign plates, you can find out about the products below and ask us to start a quote with the insurers.

01

Compulsory traffic insurance

The compulsory cover for damage you may cause to third parties, within the terms of the policy. You can start a request here.

02

Extended liability

Extended liability cover raises the limit for damage to third parties above the compulsory one. We can explain it and take your request to the insurers.

03

Kasko

Cover for your own vehicle. It is assessed according to the insurer’s acceptance criteria, your vehicle details, the scope of cover and the policy terms.

04

Roadside assistance

Breakdown and towing help, provided within the scope, limits and terms of the policy or service package you buy.

How a request works

We pass your request to the insurers, with the information and documents you send us. Whether a policy is issued depends on the insurer’s acceptance criteria, the product terms and the applicable rules.

1

Send us your details

Filling in the form completely and correctly is what keeps the quote and the policy moving without hold-ups.

2

Getting your quote

If your documents are complete and the insurer’s systems are available, a compulsory traffic insurance request can be finished quickly. A Kasko quote can take up to one working day.

3

Your policy document

If a policy is issued, we send it to you digitally as a PDF. You can print it out and keep it with you on the road.

Assistance, claims and payment

When there is a breakdown, an accident, a claim or a payment to sort out, we tell you plainly where you stand and where to turn. Our job is to make the insurance side easy for guests arriving in Türkiye with a foreign-plated vehicle: clear information about the products they need, and their quote and policy handled for them.

Breakdown and towing

After a breakdown or an accident, roadside help and towing can be provided within the scope, limits and terms of the policy or service package you bought.

Claims and assistance

If you have an accident, a breakdown or damage in Türkiye, we help you through the claims and assistance process of the insurer that issued your policy.

How to pay

We can send you a payment link. You can pay with your own credit card, or transfer the amount (EFT, FAST or bank transfer) to the Turkish lira account of Özhedef Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri Limited Şirketi at Türkiye İş Bankası.

About the products and the cover

The scope, duration, limits, premium and special terms of compulsory traffic insurance, extended liability cover, Kasko and roadside assistance are set by the quote and policy terms of the insurer concerned.

Sending a request does not mean a policy will be issued in every case. Requests are taken so that the insurers can assess them.

At busy times of year, insurance at the border crossings can take a while. If you send your request before you set off, the quote and the policy can be sorted out in advance.

Safe travels — we wish you a trouble-free journey.

Important information

  • Short-term and annual policy options vary according to the insurer’s product terms.
  • Cover for collision, theft, fire, natural disasters, glass damage, a replacement vehicle and towing depends on the scope of the policy.
  • The limits of the extended liability cover are set by the policy issued and by the insurer’s terms.
  • Your entry and exit dates for Türkiye, the policy start and end dates and the product terms are all taken into account.
  • Claims and compensation are handled under the general and special terms of the policy issued by the insurer.

Keep your car covered on the way to Türkiye

Whether your foreign insurance works in Türkiye depends on the type of document, the country that issued it and what it actually covers. Fill in the short form in 3 minutes and we'll look for quotes with the insurers we're authorised to work with. This is only a request — it doesn't guarantee that a quote will be made or a policy issued. The insurer may ask for extra details, documents, photos, an inspection or a reference.

Free — no obligationYou pay only after you approve the quoteStandard roadside assistance included
Step 1 / 5

Tell us what you need

Pick the products that suit you. We'll show the cover, limits, exclusions and provider for each one with your quote.

1 · Whose name is on the registration?

Choose whichever person or company is named on the registration document.

2 · What would you like a quote for?
Please choose at least one product.
3 · How many months of cover do you need?

You only pay for the time you're in Türkiye.

4 · Your vehicle's usage type

This is needed to filter your quote and cover; choose according to the usage shown on your registration document.

Please select your vehicle's usage type.

Choose your Gurbet Kasko package

For 2026 the legal third-party limit is 400,000 TL; anything above that comes out of the policyholder's pocket. Extended liability cover raises the limit for third-party damage beyond that point.
PackageLimit for damage to others

Choose the liability limit that fits your needs for damage you might cause to others; if you also want cover for damage to your own vehicle, confirm your kasko selection too. The final quote is put together by our team from the licensed insurers we work with.

Gurbet Kasko package names are service labels used to classify quote requests by coverage limit and support representative review; they are not insurance products or promises of cover. Gurbet Kasko is a service brand of Özhedef Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri Limited Şirketi. Özhedef Sigorta acts as an insurance agency and intermediates quote collection and policy issuance processes. Neither Gurbet Kasko nor Özhedef Sigorta provides insurance cover; premium, coverage and policy terms are subject to the relevant insurance company’s assessment and the policy it issues.

Choose your level of roadside assistance

Standard roadside assistance is already in your package. Want to upgrade to Premium?

Standard roadside assistance
  • 24/7 call centre and tow truck arrangement
  • After an accident or breakdown, we point you the right way within the service terms
  • Help when you run out of fuel or have tyre trouble
  • Directions to the nearest suitable garage or tyre shop
  • Recovery after a rollover or leaving the road, within the limits
Premium roadside assistance
  • Everything in the Standard package
  • Replacement car, for the period and terms in the contract
  • Transport of the car to your home province, on the agreed terms
  • Glass damage service within the set limits
  • Emergency help and arrangements after an accident

The service's scope, number of uses and limits are governed by the service contract terms.

Approximate market value of the car

Give the rough current sale value in the country of registration — this is just for a first look. The sum insured and the cover are finalised after the insurer's review and under the policy terms.

Step 2 / 5

About your car

Copy the details exactly as they appear on the registration document — that way the quote is for the right car.

Your vehicle's VIN (chassis number) on the registration document has 17 characters; policies are issued based on the plate and VIN details.

Enter the details exactly as shown on your registration document. Suggestions appear from the list as you type.

For kasko the car can be at most 15 years old. Your kasko selection has been removed.

Your vehicle make/type information may not be found as an exact match in insurance systems. In that case, the most suitable equivalent vehicle definition in the insurance company's system may be used. The final vehicle definition, premium and coverages of the policy are determined according to the insurance company's assessment.

Step 3 / 5

Registered owner and contact

Registration and ID details are checked before a policy is issued. Please don't use incorrect contact details or someone else's.

Is the person applying the registration holder?
Step 4 / 5

Your trip to Türkiye

You can choose today or a future date.

This date is only for planning your quote; it does not mean the policy or cover starts then. The policy starts on the day payment is made after you approve the quote — nothing happens without your approval.

Step 5 / 5

Summary, payment preference and notices

Your request hasn't been sent yet! This page shows a preview of your request for you to review. Please take a moment to check your details — you can go back to make changes.

Payment preference

How would you like to pay later on?

Our team puts your quote together from your choices and sends it over on WhatsApp or by email. This is a request — we can't promise a quote for every product you've picked. Payment method, currency, exchange rate and any campaign terms are only fixed after you approve, on the secure payment screen. Please never share your card details over WhatsApp or email.
