Luxury sedans ($100-200/day) — Ideal for business travel, corporate events, and special occasions. Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A6 available.

Why Rent at the Airport vs. City?

Renting at Zvartnots Airport gives you maximum flexibility from the moment you land. No need to arrange a taxi to the city, no waiting for the rental office to open the next morning. GoMotion's 24/7 airport service means even late-night and early-morning arrivals are covered.

For travelers who prefer picking up downtown, GoMotion also operates two offices in central Yerevan — on Abovyan Street near Republic Square and on Northern Avenue near the Opera House.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
