Car rental in Armenia

What to know to pick up a car in Yerevan and travel around the country with no surprises

Step by step

Documents you need

A passport and a driving licence. The minimum age and driving experience are on every car page under “Rental terms”.

Licence issued outside Armenia? Bring an International Driving Permit too — it makes document checks easier.

Prices and what is included

The price is per day — 24 hours from pickup. You see the total for the whole period as soon as you pick the dates, with no hidden extras.

  • Deposit — paid at pickup and refunded after you return the car. The amount is shown for every car.
  • Long rentals — the longer you rent, the lower the daily price when a long-rental discount applies.
  • Extras — child seat, second driver, SIM card, car delivery — are picked at checkout.

Road rules

  • Traffic drives on the right; the steering wheel is on the left.
  • Follow the speed signs; in towns the limit is usually 60 km/h. There are many speed cameras.
  • Seat belts for everyone; children ride in a child seat.
  • Do not drive after drinking any alcohol.
  • Use the phone only hands-free.

Parking in Yerevan

Street parking in central Yerevan is paid — via an app or by SMS, terms are on the signs. Never park under a no-parking sign: towing and fines cost more than parking. Fines issued during the rental are paid by the renter.

Fuel

Fuel stations are everywhere, in towns and along the highways. Cars are handed over with a full tank and should come back full. The fuel type is on the car page; gas (CNG) stations are common in Armenia, but fill up only with the fuel listed for the car.

Mobile and navigation

A local SIM from Viva, Team or Ucom can be bought at the airport or in town with your passport — or added as an extra with us. Yandex Maps and Google Maps work well; download offline maps in advance — coverage can be weak in the mountains.

Where to go

  • Garni and Geghard — an ancient temple and a cave monastery, about an hour from Yerevan.
  • Sevan and Dilijan — the lake, Sevanavank monastery and a forest resort.
  • Khor Virap — a monastery with a view of Mount Ararat.
  • Tatev — a monastery and the “Wings of Tatev” cable car; best as a 2-day trip.

In winter mountain passes sometimes close — check the weather before a long drive and add the winter kit.

Leaving Armenia

Taking a rental car outside Armenia is not allowed — it is a condition of the rental contract.

Questions and answers

Yes, pick “Zvartnots Airport” as the pickup place at checkout. The fee is shown right away.

No, if the booking total says “Pay at pickup”. Booking is free; we confirm it by phone or messenger.

After the car is returned and checked — within the term set in the rental contract.

Yes, but days are counted from pickup and an early return does not lower the price.
