TL;DR
When entering Turkey by car on foreign plates, you can purchase mandatory car insurance at the border crossing or at insurance offices inside Turkey. Those entering from Georgia can get it directly at the border.
When crossing into Turkey from Georgia, car insurance can be purchased directly at the border checkpoint. Prices vary by vehicle type and coverage period — check current rates at the crossing.
Drivers entering Turkey on foreign (e.g. Russian) plates must obtain Turkish mandatory third-party insurance (Trafik Sigortası). It can be purchased at the border or at Turkish insurance offices in the nearest town.
Turkish car insurance can also be arranged online via Turkish insurance comparison sites or in person at offices of major insurers such as Allianz, Axa, or Güneş Sigorta in any major city.
