Turkey is normally regarded as Europe for insurance purposes, but always check with your insurer. More information is on our TRAVEL INSURANCE: Advice, Recommendations and Q&As topic.

Thanks Darren, I will do that
It has always been classed as Europe whenever I have booked travel insurance.
Yes i asked TA today just to make sure lol and all you lovely peeps were right. I have just been on my other post about TC asking for more details about travel insurance because i have more replies but it has been locked. Dont know why Maybe cos this one is on here too

I stated the reason why before locking it. We have a dedicated active insurance topic on the General Enquiries Forum (link provided). It's to avoid duplication of parallel topics and for the benefit of other memders to discuss things in one places rather than have several repeated threads over several forums.

hi ive been to my bank and the post office today and they insist turkey is now classed as world wide. we went to turkey in may and only had europe cover can any one help with this please will be travelling in 3 weeks time.
It seems to vary from one insurance provider to another, nuttynet - some still class it as being Europe, while others seems to insist it is included in worldwide policies. Best advice is just to shop around.
also varies with some credit cards etc as to wether cash withdrawals are Euro or not
Members should check their own individual policies rather than relying on information which may no longer be correct.

please also remember you only get what it says in the small print
Direct Travel Insurance still class Turkey as Europe but not Tunisia and Egypt.
Not sure how Egypt and Tunisia can be classed as Europe when they are in Africa !!
i think you have read the post wrong tunisa and eygpt are worldwide
Many insurers classed any country which borders the Mediterranean as Europe for the purposes of travel insurance. Some companies have reclassified them as worldwide recently.
I have travelled to Turkey,Tunisia and Egypt many times as they along with many other companies classed these as Europe as they have land bordering the Mediterranean.
This June when my policy was due to be renewed I was informed they no longer included Egypt and Tunisia.
This is probably due to the recent troubles there.
They still include Turkey despite 97% being in Asia.
Sharm-el-Sheikh is in Asia but they still used to include it on the European policy.
I am now looking for a company that will include these 3 countries on a European policy as i dont want to have to pay a fortune for a Worldwide annual policy.
I holiday in Turkey and Tunisia,both have always been classed as Europe,Im sure when I renewed with insurandgo in May Tunisia was still included the same,I will check again tomorrow,as Im off to Tunisia in October again.
I will be ringing them soon for a quote.
