Foreign Traffic Insurance for Türkiye - Easy Process

Just pick the category that fits your vehicle best! If you’ve got a sedan or SUV like a Toyota Corolla or Toyota RAV4, go with "Car / SUV." For a pickup or van like a Toyota Hilux or Ford Transit, choose "Truck / Van." If you’re on a 2 or 3-wheeler, like a road bike (e.g., scooters, mopeds, sport bikes) or a touring bike (e.g., long-distance bikes), select "Motorcycle." And for a converted van like a Ford Transit or Mercedes Sprinter conversion, pick "Camper Van." Still unsure? Take a quick look at your vehicle’s registration document to confirm.
