Before you buy a policy for this trip
- Confirm that Iran and any stopovers fall within the policy's territory.
- Check that medical and evacuation limits suit how far you'd be from good hospitals and from home.
- Compare your planned activities against the exclusions, including scooters and adventure sports.
- Declare your health conditions accurately.
- Carry a certificate of insurance. See how to read one.
