Car hire in Yerevan is mostly about road-tripping rather than driving inside the city. Republic Square, the Cascade, Tsitsernakaberd and Vernissage are easy on foot, and most guests pick up a car not on the day they land but on the day they head out — to Garni, Lake Sevan or across the border to Georgia.
Zvartnots Airport sits just 12 km from the centre — one of the closest airports in the region. Most of our partners meet you at the arrivals exit by flight number, or deliver the car to your hotel for free on the day your trip starts.
In our experience, the easiest way is to take the car on the day you leave Yerevan: the first 24 hours go by on foot and in cheap taxis anyway.
We deliver to most hotels in central Yerevan free of charge — there's no separate trip to an office to pick up the car.
Zvartnots and city delivery
Zvartnots (EVN) is Armenia's main international airport and the pickup point for most rentals in the country. From the airport to the centre is 12 km on the M5 motorway — 15–25 minutes, up to 35 in rush hour. Bus 201 runs to Republic Square for 300 drams; Yandex Go and GG Taxi work at EVN with a fixed fare of about $5–10. If you're heading straight to Lake Sevan or Dilijan, picking up the car at the airport is the easiest option.
We meet most guests at the arrivals exit by flight number. It's faster than the rental shuttle, especially after a late-evening flight.
If your first night is in Yerevan and you only need the car the next morning, hotel delivery is usually the simplest option — most partners offer it free within the centre. Address and time are agreed at booking, with no extra delivery fee on the bill.
If your flight is delayed, send us a WhatsApp message before take-off with the flight number. We track arrivals and wait without an extra charge.
Honda Pilot in Armenia
Everything went well, the car was as advertised, the price too. The company employees were polite and correct. I recommend the company to everyone who needs to rent a car in Armenia.
Ford Focus in Armenia
The car like brand new and we had smooth ride. I highly recommend this company service.
Lada Niva in Armenia
Everything went fine with this rent company. The car they gave us was clean, well kept and in perfect working order, simply beautiful. We drove for five days, about 800 km in Armenia without any problem. Another great thing is that you could receive the car directly at your address for a little surplus and the guy who delivered it to us was kind and he explained everything we need to know. By the way, I always suggest the full insurance cover, you never know... Highly Recommended!

Instead of a Subaru, we got a Mazda CX5. The SkyActive belt broke while driving on the first day. We were given a second replacement car, a Mazda CX5. Everything was great. The cars were clean and your communication was excellent both in the office and on the phone. Best wishes.
Ford Eco Sport in Armenia
Everything went beautifully!
Lada Niva in Armenia
Rental was good, car was really nice and everything went great
Nissan Sentra in Armenia
Great rental! I liked everything - good clean cars, met at the airport, you can pay in rubles. I recommend it to everyone.
Hyundai Solaris in Armenia
Everything went great. We were given another car because the one we ordered had an oil change, some small Ford jeep. The manager explained everything, warned us about all the rules. The trip was successful, we were delighted with the nature of Armenia. I will gladly recommend the company to my friends
Toyota Camry in Armenia
I was very satisfied with everything. The reserved car was not available, I was given a Nissan Rogue with no change in the rental price. The manager Eric (if I'm not mistaken) was very welcoming, friendly and customer oriented. I have been working with customers for 10 years myself, so I know what to look out for. The service was at a decent level. The car is technically sound, clean, the terms of the lease are affordable and transparent. Interaction with the manager is on top. In a word, I am in a very positive mood about the services from TakeCars!
Lada Niva in Armenia
Phenomenal car in very good condition, the perfect choice to experience the real Armenia like a local. Not only is very comfortable to sit and drive, but no road condition can stop it, you can literally go anywhere! We will surely rent it again when coming to Armenia!
Mazda 6 in Armenia
A very good company to rent a car in Yerevan. Used localCarHires services last week and was very satisfied!!! Regarding the car itself, I received the car in a new body, which was a pleasant surprise. The car was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. There were no problems during use and the car performed well on the road. The rental prices were also very reasonable and competitive. Compared to other companies, localCarHires offers very favorable rates, especially considering the quality of service and cars. Overall, my car rental experience with localCarHires was excellent. I recommend this company to anyone who needs a reliable and convenient way to get around, especially in an unfamiliar city or country. Many thanks to localCarHires for the wonderful service!
Day trips from Yerevan
Yerevan's geography is the practical advantage: almost every Armenian sight is within a day's drive. The most popular run is Garni and Geghard — a 1st-century pagan temple, the UNESCO cave monastery and the Symphony of Stones. From Yerevan, Garni is 45 minutes on tarmac.
Day-trip routes
Khor Virap with its view of Mount Ararat is 45 minutes south. Echmiadzin and its cathedral — 30 minutes on the M5. Lake Sevan and Sevanavank — 1 hour on the M4. Dilijan, 'the Armenian Switzerland' — 1.5 hours into the mountains.
Garni – Geghard – Sevan in one day is the standard loop for first-time visitors: all paved, and you're back in Yerevan by sunset.
Longer routes
Tatev and its cable car are 4 hours one way, best with an overnight in Goris. Tbilisi is 5–6 hours on the M6 via the Bagratashen crossing (around 250 km), available with selected partners using a notarised power of attorney and a Green Card. A weekend covers half of Armenia: Sevan and Dilijan, Tatev and Khndzoresk, Areni and Noravank.
If Tatev or Georgia is on the plan, take the car at Zvartnots straight off the flight. A day in Yerevan loses nothing without one.
Paid parking in Yerevan
Yerevan introduced a coloured-zone parking system in 2024. Red lines mark Zone A (about 40 central streets): 300 drams per hour, 2,000 per day, 5,000 per week. Blue lines mark Zone B (Arabkir and parts of the outer districts): 200 drams per hour. White lines are service spaces — no parking. Green lines are EV-only. The first 15 minutes are free everywhere, and from 22:00 to 10:00 parking is free.
The easiest way to pay is via the Telcell or IDRAM apps. They accept foreign cards, so you don't need cash for parking in central Yerevan at all.
The largest covered car park is the underground garage beneath Freedom Square — 600 spaces, from 200 drams per hour, paid on exit, secured and open 24/7. Several central hotels run their own car parks, and the addresses can be confirmed when you book.
If someone in the centre offers to 'hold' a space for cash and shifts boxes for you, that isn't municipal parking. Real parking is paid only via app or meter, never to a passer-by.

Long-term hire
Yerevan has become one of the busiest long-stay destinations in the region — for remote workers, students, and visitors on extended business trips. To match the demand, the local market has built out longer rental rates. Bookings of 28 days or more usually drop 20–35 % off the daily price, and a number of partners offer 3- and 6-month packages with additional discounts and a guaranteed swap if the car has trouble.
An economy saloon in Yerevan for a month costs from $400–600 depending on the model and season. For six months we have separate rates with a price review at renewal.
Long-term packages often include Full Coverage with no excess and roadside assistance, and payment can be monthly or upfront for the whole period. It's a comfortable option for anyone planning to stay in Yerevan for a month or longer who isn't ready to buy a car outright.
Take the long-term package if you're in Yerevan for at least a month: the daily rate over the same period works out roughly half as expensive again.
Frequent Questions
For July–September, 4–8 weeks ahead. The Armenian fleet is small, and automatics and SUVs disappear first. Spring weddings, autumn foliage trips to Tatev, and arriving long-stay residents all add demand. For low season (November–March) one to two weeks is usually enough.
12 km from the centre, 15–25 minutes on the M5 motorway. It's one of the closest airports in the region — only Belgrade is closer among researched destinations. Transfers cost less than from Tirana or Tbilisi to their respective city centres.
By car, 15–25 minutes on the M5 (35+ in rush hour). Bus 201 runs to Republic Square for 300 drams. Yandex Go and GG Taxi work at EVN with a fixed fare of about $5–10. In a hire car, watch the speed cameras on the M5 — they're very strict.
Economy starts from $26 a day in low season and $40–60 in summer. Mid-size $30–45, crossovers and SUVs $50–100. Yerevan is more expensive than Georgia or Albania because the Armenian car market is closed. For the summer peak, book 4–8 weeks ahead — automatics and SUVs sell out first.
The Armenian car market is closed: few international chains, a limited fleet and high import duties on cars. On top of that, Yerevan has been receiving large numbers of long-stay residents and remote workers since 2022. The result is older saloons at $40–60 a day in low season — pricier than a fresh crossover in Albania.
With most of our partners, yes — within the central districts of Yerevan. The address and time are agreed at booking, with no extra delivery fee on the bill or at handover. Delivery beyond the centre is usually $5–10 depending on the area.
Not really. Republic Square, the Cascade, Vernissage and Tsitsernakaberd are all walkable, and taxis in the centre are inexpensive. It's easier to take the car on the day you head out — to Garni, Sevan, Tatev or Tbilisi — and skip parking and morning rush hour.
Garni and Geghard (45 minutes), Khor Virap with the view of Mount Ararat (45 minutes), Echmiadzin (30 minutes), Lake Sevan (1 hour), Dilijan (1.5 hours). Tatev is 4 hours one way, so it's worth planning with an overnight in Goris. All routes are paved.
Yerevan introduced two zones in 2024. Red (centre) — 300 drams an hour, 2,000 a day. Blue (Arabkir and the outskirts) — 200 drams an hour. The first 15 minutes are free, and from 22:00 to 10:00 parking is free everywhere. White lines are service-only, green is EV-only.
Telcell and IDRAM are the easiest. MegaPay, Mobidram and EasyPay also work. They accept foreign cards, so you can pay without local currency. Street meters take cash with a small commission of around 200 drams. There is no need to pay an attendant on the pavement.
The underground car park under Freedom Square — 600 spaces, from 200 drams an hour, secured 24/7, paid on exit. There's also a garage at 15A Pushkin Street, and several central hotels run their own car parks; we can confirm the address before pickup.
Sometimes someone in the centre puts boxes or chairs on a free space and asks for 200–500 drams to clear them. That isn't municipal parking. Real parking is paid only via the Telcell or IDRAM app, or at a meter — never in cash to a passer-by.
5–6 hours on the M6 via the Bagratashen–Sadakhlo border, around 250 km. The crossing itself takes 30–60 minutes. The route runs through Dilijan and Vanadzor. It's available with our partners through a notarised power of attorney and a Green Card, prepared in 1–2 working days.
Yes. From 28 days you get a 20–35 % discount off the daily rate. An economy car for a month is from $400–600 depending on the season. Several partners also offer 3- and 6-month packages with additional discounts and guaranteed vehicle swap if anything goes wrong.
Yes, but automatics in Armenia cost $10–20 a day more than manuals and sell out first in summer. Book an automatic 4–6 weeks ahead during peak. If automatic is essential and you arrive in high season, message us in advance — we'll line up specific models for your dates.
