TL;DR
According to a traveler in August 2026, Turkish car insurance for crossing at Sarpi is sold by vendors before the border on the Georgian side, and a one-month policy is issued there without any hassle. He also saw an insurance advert on the Turkish side but never bought there himself. Compare the price and terms with several sellers on the spot.
In August 2026 a participant who had crossed at Sarpi wrote that a one-month policy is easily issued by sellers before the border on the Georgian side. This answered a traveler who had read online that at the border itself insurance is sold only for three months: in the participant’s experience, a one-month policy is available before the checkpoint.
On the Turkish side of the border the same participant saw an advert for car insurance but never bought a policy there. In his words, it might be cheaper there, or it might not — he had no price comparison.
