What Is DASK Earthquake Insurance?
DASK insurance is a mandatory cover that helps to protect your property in Turkey from financial losses caused by earthquakes. For full terms, conditions and exclusions relating to DASK Insurance, please refer to the DASK website.
Turkey lies in an active seismic zone, which typically endures more earthquakes than many other countries. It’s for this reason that DASK insurance is critical. Learn about how Intasure’s Turkey holiday home insurance can keep you and your property safe below.
Is DASK Insurance Compulsory?
Yes, the Turkish government requires all homeowners to have DASK insurance, also called compulsory earthquake insurance. For context, it’s a policy established by the World Bank and Turkish government, provided by the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool.
DASK policies are revised annually, and the Turkish government makes it compulsory for people to stay up-to-date with potential changes in rules or regulations. You might not be asked to show proof of your DASK insurance but understand that you must have a policy when selling your home.

What is not covered by DASK insurance?
DASK earthquake insurance does not cover the following:
- Debris removal costs
- Losses not caused by earthquakes
- Loss of rent
- Non-material damages
Our Turkish holiday home package can cover debris removal, demolition costs (up to £10,000), and loss of rent. So, you can consider our holiday home insurance policy in addition to DASK insurance if these forms of cover are important to you.

How much does DASK insurance cost?
DASK insurance costs vary depending on risk levels in your region (there are 15 different tariff rates with five risk zones). It also changes depending on your property’s structure— for example, whether it is made from steel, concrete, stone masonry, or another material. The property size and number of floors also impact cost. DASK premiums are revised annually, and the TCIP (Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool) ensures they are kept affordable.
