Do I need insurance in Iran for my car or motorbike?

International insurance will be accepted in Iran but according to our experience strongly we recommend you buy Iranian local insurance which is also not expensive.

But approximately the price for

7 days will be around 50 euro

2 weeks will be around 70 euro

 one month’s insurance will cost you about 100 euro
