Anadolu Sigorta protects the holiday pleasures of policyholders by insuring them against potential risks with its foreign travel insurance. With many coverage options, Anadolu Sigorta Foreign Travel Insurance provides protection against passport loss, delays due to double bookings, and even lost, damaged or stolen skiing or snowboarding equipment.

Metin Oğuz, Assistant General Manager at Anadolu Sigorta, reminds that people travelling to foreign countries should not neglect buying travel insurance, and adds:

“Foreign travel insurance should not be solely regarded as a compulsory insurance people need to buy in order to get visas. The product offers vital coverage for those traveling abroad. It offers protection against many number of risks in exchange for a premium amount that is really cheap compared to other travelling costs. With our foreign travel insurance, we go beyond the standard coverage options and offer protection against many other risks as well. Therefore, I would recommend the travelers not only to buy insurance but also review the coverage of the product they choose to buy.”
