Heading to Turkey soon? From the lively streets of Istanbul and the ancient ruins of Ephesus to the beaches of Antalya and Bodrum, Turkey has something for everyone. But while your holiday should be relaxing, unexpected events can quickly turn it upside down.
Unlike many European destinations, Turkey is not covered by the UK’s GHIC or EHIC scheme. That means if you fall ill or have an accident, you’ll need private health cover. The costs for hospital treatment, emergency surgery, or even an air ambulance can run into thousands of pounds.
With the right travel insurance in place, you’re protected against:
High overseas medical bills
Last-minute trip cancellations
Stolen passports, money or baggage
Missed flights or delays
Unexpected emergencies while abroad
Because Turkey lies across both Europe and Asia, insurers vary in how they categorise it. Some treat it as part of Europe, while others only cover it under Worldwide policies. To keep things straightforward, our cover clearly specifies Turkey as included when you select the correct region during your quote.

If you are travelling to Turkey from the UK, you are not legally required to have travel insurance to enter the country. However, it is strongly recommended by the UK Government and the FCDO. Healthcare in Turkey can be very expensive, and British tourists do not have access to free or subsidised treatment. Without insurance, you could be left paying thousands of pounds for hospital bills or an air ambulance back to the UK. Choosing a policy with high medical cover ensures that you are protected from these unexpected costs, giving you peace of mind throughout your holiday.
Turkey is a popular choice for family holidays thanks to its warm climate, all-inclusive resorts and child-friendly facilities. When travelling with children, having comprehensive family travel insurance is essential. A family policy can cover both adults and children under one plan, often making it more affordable than buying individual policies. Family cover should include medical emergencies, cancellations due to illness, and baggage protection, so parents can relax knowing that the whole family is protected throughout the trip.

Our travel insurance products are available to permanent UK residents who are registered with a GP in the UK. Some of our products can also cover residents of the Channel Islands or Isle of Man. You need to be fit to travel at the time of purchasing travel insurance cover.
We use a medical risk assessment tool to enable us to provide you with a quote. You will be asked a number of questions about your medical status. From the information provided we will base our quotes on your health status.
Yes. Our aim is to cover you fully, if you do not declare all of your pre-existing medical conditions then you will not be fully covered in the event of a claim and risk invalidating your insurance.
As we operate an on-going medical warranty, you will need to inform us of any health changes that occur between your quotation/purchase date and the date of travel. We may be required to ask additional questions to ensure your travel insurance is up to date and fully covering you for the trip.
We cover you from the time you start your trip right up until the day you return back to the UK, (except for cancellation cover which starts when you buy the policy and ends when you start your trip).
We accept all major debit and credit cards including American Express. You can make payment online during the customer quote journey, or by calling the Freedom team on 01223 454 290.
We’ll consider cover for people while they are receiving medical treatment including chemotherapy. We base all our quotes on individual circumstances. However, we cannot cover the actual cost of any on-going treatment that you know you will require during the trip, such as dialysis or cancer treatments.
