Yerevan car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Yerevan

• The main reason to rent a car during your time in Yerevan, aside from the wonderful convenience and indepence one offers, is that having a car offers quick access to the many sights neighboring Yerevan. For instance, Lake Sevan is 66 kilometers (41 miles) away from Yerevan and is not only the largest lake in Armenia but one of the largest in the Caucasus region. Another great day trip option is Garni Temple, which is 30 kilometers (19 miles) away and features Roman ruins and a 7th century church.
• For travelers with itineraries that require renting a vehicle, you will find Zvartnots International Airport’s hire car counters on the first floor of the Arrivals Hall.
• One thing to keep in mind when traveling with children in Yerevan and throughout Armenia in general, is that children under the age of 12 may not sit in the front passenger seat. Additionally, all front seat passengers must wear a seatbelt at all times, as it is legally required throughout Armenia.
• Yerevan is similar to many other capital cities in the world, in that it experiences a work week rush hour in the morning and afternoon. In general, the morning rush hour in Yerevan picks up at around 6:30 a.m. and slows down by 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon peak goes from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the week. If you are looking to avoid traffic, try to steer clear of both Abovyan Street and Komitas Avenue during the peak driving hours.
• Book your rental car in Yerevan at least 2 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
