What do I need to drive my own car into Turkey?

Turkey has its own rules that you should sort out before you set off. First, insurance: you need a Green Card showing a valid TR country code (not crossed out), or you buy compulsory Turkish insurance at the border. Without valid insurance there is no entry — no grace period. Second, tolls: Turkish motorways and bridges run on the electronic HGS system; as a foreigner you register at the first PTT branch (usually at the border) with your passport and vehicle registration and load credit — no toll roads without HGS. Third, the registration: the car must be registered in your name. If you drive someone else's car, you need a notarised vehicle power of attorney with a Turkish translation — otherwise you risk serious trouble or being refused entry. Because the requirements can change, it is best to clarify your specific case with Svetlana before you start.
