Top tips for hiring a car in Armenia
- Hiring a car in Armenia offers numerous advantages for travellers. It provides the freedom and flexibility to explore the country's diverse landscape and historical sites at your own pace. With a hire car, you can access remote and off-the-beaten-path destinations that may not be easily reached by public transportation. Besides exploring vibrant streets, historical landmarks and museums in Yerevan, you can organise daily trips to Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery, Lake Sevan and Dilijan National Park.
- Some roads, especially in rural areas, can be in poor condition, with potholes and uneven surfaces. Drive cautiously and be prepared for unexpected road conditions. In addition, many roads in Armenia are narrow and winding, especially in mountainous regions, which can be challenging for larger vehicles. Roads may have limited lighting outside urban areas, making night driving more challenging. It is important to be cautious and to drive at a reduced speed.
- Children 12 years or under and shorter than 150 cm (approximately 4 feet 11 inches) must be properly restrained in a car seat, based on their age, weight and height. Child safety seats should be installed in the rear seats of the vehicle, away from the front airbags, which can be dangerous for young children in case of deployment. Older children who have outgrown child safety seats should wear seat belts at all times while travelling in a vehicle.
- When you hire a car in Armenia, you have the option to drive to neighbouring countries such as Georgia and Iran. However, it's crucial to verify with your hire company if cross-border travel is permitted, as not all providers may allow it. On the other hand, certain countries like Azerbaijan and Turkey don’t allow cross-border travel by hire car from Armenia due to political reasons or insurance restrictions. It's essential to be aware of these limitations to avoid any issues during your trip.
- Book your rental car in Armenia at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Armenia are around 40% cheaper than other car types, on average
