Insurance is a very important part of a trip, but not all insurance companies operate in the partially recognized Republic of Northern Cyprus.

For many insurers, the issue lies in the status of Northern Cyprus, which is only recognized as independent by Turkey. Therefore, there are not as many options for purchasing an insurance policy as there are when traveling to most countries, but they do exist.

Insurance Aggregators for Northern Cyprus

Similar to hotels and car rentals, aggregators gather data from different companies and present them in a convenient form in one place. Most insurance companies do not include Northern Cyprus in their databases, so this country does not appear on the list.

The exception is the company Tripinsurance. They have their own assistance service (a company that directly communicates with clinics) that interacts with medical institutions both in the southern and northern parts of the island.
