Travel Insurance

In an earlier post I listed some companies providing travel insurance. In general, no company had any problems with Iran as a destination - they applied no extra surcharges - but did point us to the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Unit for exclusions pertaining to Iran. In short our policy doesn't cover us if we travel to within 100km of the Afghanistan border or within 10Km of the Iraq border.

In the end we went with the VHI's annual Multi-trip policy, which cost €106 for the two of us. We already have healthcare cover from VHI, so it made sense to get our travel insurance from them.
