I'm planning Turkey to Iran by motorbike in a few months, through the Serou border. My research indicates:
1. Many people get into Iran without a carnet, but it involves 6+ hours of paperwork and you may be limited to 14 days in Iran.
2. You most definately won't be able to travel further east without a carnet.
3. If you don't have a carnet you're open to insurance scams and it involves some 'costs' at the border.
There's alot of hassle and cost involved in obtaining a carnet, but without one you run the risk of travelling all the way to Iran only to be turned away. End of your trip!
Personally, I'm undecided.
I'd be interested in how much Mr. Hossain charges for his services?
