What Iran Insurance does

Iran Insurance Company is a general insurance provider founded in 1970 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE, operating across seven branch offices in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah) and Oman (Muscat, Salalah). The company offers a full portfolio of retail and commercial general insurance lines, including motor, fleet, family medical, home, employees, property, cargo, and engineering (CAR, EAR, MB, CPM, DOS) coverage. Family medical and home products are sold in tiered packages (Diamond/Gold/Silver/Bronze; Platinum/Gold/Silver) with publicly disclosed annual pricing in AED, and the firm leverages ISO 9001 and ISO 10004 certifications as quality markers.

The business is operated on a traditional general insurance platform with multi-line policy administration, supported by third-party integrations: Almadallah administers medical claims with physician-led assessment; International Motoring Club provides 24/7 roadside assistance bundled into motor policies; and direct-billing relationships with Mediclinic, Al Zahra, and 1,700+ network providers serve medical policyholders. Cargo claims leverage an affiliated network of over 200 branches and nearly 4,500 agents in Iran for rapid assessment, a positioning point the company emphasizes for cross-border transit coverage.

Iran Insurance generates revenue through insurance premiums collected in AED across all product lines, with refund structures governed by Insurance Authority tariffs. Distribution is sales-led through physical branches, supplemented by phone and WhatsApp customer service, an online quote-request portal on bimehir.ae, and a broker login channel. The customer base is split horizontally between individual consumers (motor, home, family medical) and businesses (fleet, employees, property, cargo, engineering), with no disclosed anchor enterprise accounts and pricing positioned for both retail and SME buyers.
