This is too long to post in a comment, not the answer to your question, but needed to know for Azerbaijan and Armenia. There are no diplomatic relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, largely due to the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

From U.S Department of State Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements section.

  • Law enforcement officials have at times detained individuals from Armenia or with Armenian surnames for questioning or denied them entry
    into the country.
  • Please be aware that traveling to the region of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding territories via Armenia could make you ineligible
    to travel to Azerbaijan in the future.

from Wikitravel Get in section.

  • Entry will be refused to citizens of Armenia, citizens of Armenian ancestry, and anyone carrying products made in Armenia or with
    Armenian labelling. You may also be refused entry depending on how
    many trips you have made to Armenia in the past so do stay alert.
  • Anybody showing proof of entry to Nagorno-Karabakh without prior consent from the Azerbaijani government will either be deported or
    arrested by the immigration authorities and will then be permanently
    banned from entering the country. Should anybody enter the separatist
    territory by accident, it is strongly recommended that they clear the
    situation with their local Azerbaijani consultate since the local
    justice system will do absolutely nothing to support your case.
  • Any foreign national having a visa to visit Armenia may expect to be hassled/harassed by border patrol.

I haven’t done the trip but I know some who did it as part of the Mongol Rally. I checked with them – being Australians, they bought their insurance through 1Cover so they definitely covered the whole trip including driving from Europe (London) through to Iran and beyond. The Rally itself suggests Campbell Irvine, which suggests they will also cover that scenario.

The participants also suggest that, based off their research, if you’re not in the rally any insurance company should be fine as long as you have the right licenses and drive appropriately.
