How does the PassportCard Instant Payouts work?
Turkey travel insurance FAQs
It’s always a good idea to get travel insurance when travelling to Turkey. That way, you know you have protection if something doesn’t go to plan. Whether it’s lost luggage, travel delays, trip cancellations, or unexpected medical or dental emergencies, a dedicated travel insurance policy is useful in many situations. Opting for a policy that includes instant claims also provides convenience so you can quickly cover the most common travel claims.
No. Medicare can only cover you if you’re within Australia. The Australian government advises purchasing comprehensive travel insurance for medical emergencies and evacuation so you’re never out of pocket while travelling.
The best way to find out how much it will cost to get cover to travel to Turkey is to get an instant quote with PassportCard. It only takes a couple of minutes to get a personalised quote by providing some basic details such as your age, destination/s, travel dates and the level of cover you would like.
Not automatically. If you’re planning on doing any activities like cascading, deep sea fishing, mountain biking, mud buggying, paragliding, quad bike riding, outdoor rock climbing, segway tours or sky diving, you’ll need to add Optional & Adventure cover for these activities when you purchase your travel insurance to make sure you’ll be covered.
Simply call our Global Assistance team on +61 1800 490 478 or contact us on WhatsApp. Our Australian-based Global Assistance team is available 24/7 and can quickly handle most common claims on-the-spot over the phone.
Preparing for your trip to Turkey
All set for your trip to Turkey?
Make sure you’ve ticked all of these items off your checklist before you head off:
- Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date
- Speak to your doctor to find out if you require any travel vaccinations or need to take any other precautions. There are cases of measles in Turkey. Additionally, there is a risk of malaria, leishmaniasis, and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in certain areas
- You will need to apply for an e-visa for tourism. E-visas for medical and business needs have a different process. If you’re going to Turkey for medical services, speak with your doctor first
- Watch out for petty crime. Never leave your personal items alone in public areas or on public transport
- Notify your financial institution of your plans to travel
- Set up a travel currency card or another payment option before your trip. While most places accept debit or credit cards, it’s a good idea to carry some Turkey lira (TRY) in case of emergencies. Secure any cash on your person while travelling
- Contact your phone provider to ensure your phone plan will cover you while you’re away or purchase a prepaid international sim card
- Book tours, activities, and reputable accommodation in advance
- If you’re travelling solo, provide details of your travel plans to a family member or close friend so you can be contacted in case of an emergency
- Save emergency numbers and consular assistance contact details. Create safety plans and educate your children on what to do if you’re separated
- Organise your travel insurance with PassportCard.
