Do I need insurance in Turkey?
 

I know that my British insurance is not valid in Turkey. Do I a)legally, and b)practically, need insurance in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India?

Yes I do. Buy it at the border or from the Turkish automobile association in Istanbul or Ankara.

(By the way, you also need it in Iran, legally. Buy it in Maku, if heading southwards, rather than at the border, and save twenty dollars).

you can get indian insurance for a few quid from any insurance agent, it is useless but at least having the appropriate documentation saves you from having to baksheesh the cops .
