Tips for the Drive
Fill your tank before the border — fuel is slightly cheaper in Armenia
Carry cash — some Georgian toll booths and restaurants are cash-only
Download offline maps — cellular coverage can be spotty near the border
Armenian and Georgian drivers have... different styles. Drive defensively
Speed cameras are common on the Georgian highway to Tbilisi
What to See Along the Way
The Yerevan-to-Tbilisi drive passes some of Armenia's most spectacular scenery:
Dilijan — The "Armenian Switzerland," perfect for a coffee stop
Haghpat Monastery — UNESCO World Heritage Site visible from the road
Debed Canyon — Dramatic gorge with medieval bridges and monasteries
Alaverdi — Industrial town with a stunning canyon setting
In Georgia, Tbilisi itself is one of the most charming capitals in Europe — worth at least 2-3 days of exploration.

Everything you need to know about renting a car in Yerevan and traveling across Armenia
Do I need a deposit to rent a car in Armenia from GoMotion?
No! GoMotion is one of the only car rental companies in Armenia that requires absolutely zero deposit. Just bring your valid driving license and passport, and you can drive away from our main office at Zvartnots Airport or either of our two Yerevan city center locations.
What documents do I need to rent a car in Yerevan?
You need a valid driving license (an international driving permit is recommended if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet), your passport or national ID, and you must be at least 21 years old. No credit card or deposit is required — GoMotion is fully deposit-free.
Is insurance included when I rent a car in Armenia?
Basic third-party liability insurance is included with every GoMotion rental. Full comprehensive insurance covering collision damage, theft, and third-party liability is available as an add-on — highly recommended for mountain roads and long-distance travel across Armenia.
Can I pick up my rental car at Zvartnots Airport?
Yes! Our main office is located directly at Zvartnots International Airport (EVN). We offer 24/7 meet-and-greet service — walk off your flight and collect your car within minutes. Airport pickup is free of charge with every booking.
Where are GoMotion pickup locations in Yerevan?
We have three locations: our main headquarters at Zvartnots International Airport with 24/7 service, a central Yerevan office on Abovyan Street near Republic Square, and a second city location on Northern Avenue near the Opera House and Cascade. All three offer free pickup.
Can I take the rental car from Armenia to Georgia?
Yes, cross-border travel to Georgia is fully permitted with prior notification. We prepare all necessary documentation including green card insurance for the border crossing. The Yerevan-to-Tbilisi drive takes about 5 hours via the Bavra or Bagratashen border points.
Do you offer long-term car rental discounts in Armenia?
Absolutely! GoMotion uses tiered pricing — the longer you rent, the lower the daily rate. Rentals of 10+ days receive a significant discount, and 15+ day rentals get our best daily price. We also offer special monthly rates for expats, digital nomads, and long-stay visitors in Yerevan.
What type of car should I rent for mountain roads in Armenia?
For summer travel on main highways between Yerevan, Sevan, Dilijan, and Garni, any car works well. For mountain monasteries like Tatev, remote villages, or winter travel, we strongly recommend an SUV or crossover with 4WD. Our fleet includes Land Cruiser, GX, X5, and other capable 4WD vehicles.
Is there a mileage limit on car rentals in Armenia?
No. All GoMotion rentals come with unlimited mileage. Drive from Yerevan to Tatev, Lake Sevan, Jermuk, Dilijan National Park, and even to Tbilisi, Georgia — without worrying about per-kilometer charges.
What payment methods does GoMotion accept?
We accept cash (AMD, USD, EUR), bank transfers, POS terminal (Visa, Mastercard), and cryptocurrency. Payment is collected at pickup from any of our three locations. No advance payment or credit card hold is required.
Can I get a rental car delivered to my hotel in Yerevan?
Yes! For a small fee, GoMotion delivers and collects your rental car anywhere in Yerevan — hotels, apartments, Airbnbs, or offices. Airport pickups at Zvartnots are free 24/7. Just tell us your arrival time and we handle the rest.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Armenia?
Car rental prices in Armenia start from $25/day for economy cars and $45-60/day for SUVs. Luxury sedans and sports cars range from $100-300/day. GoMotion offers competitive rates with no deposit, no hidden fees, and discounts for rentals of 10 days or more.
