Which Factors Determine the Price of Car Insurance?

The car insurance policies allow you to protect your vehicles in unforeseen situations such as crash, accident, theft, fire, accident resulting in death or disability, social events and natural disasters. In general, many insurance companies provide insurance policies with different coverage amounts and warrants in Turkey. Insurance premiums to be paid for car insurance vary depending on the car model, condition and duration of policy. In addition, the license plate of the vehicle, the age of the vehicle owner, and the brand of the vehicle may also be factors that determine the premium amounts. In addition, if the vehicle owner has not been involved in any accident during the policy process, he/she can benefit from the no-claim discount. In this way, you can provide discounts on your car insurance premiums. If the policy does not otherwise stated, this type of insurance is valid only in the Republic of Turkey.

If a foreigner is involved in an accident in Turkey as the owner of a car insurance, indemnification will be evaluated within the scope of the damage after an accident insurance policy in the amount of collateral. Accordingly, an amount is determined for the compensation of the damage according to the report to be formed after the accident detection and statement reports are examined. If there is a damage determined within the scope of the insurance coverage and all the necessary conditions are met, and if the occurrence of the related accident is evaluated under the policy, this damage will be paid by the insurance company to the relevant persons. Finally, if you have any questions about having car insurance in Turkey, please ask us in the comments section below.

  4. My insurance states that I am covered travelling by car only in Europe and insist that I have to cancel my policy if I am travelling outside of EU.
