Car Hire at Yerevan Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)

Part of our guide to car hire in Yerevan.

How to Find Your Car Hire Desk at Yerevan Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)

• Book through eCarBookers first: Your booking confirmation from eCarBookers locks in your price and your vehicle class before you arrive. You pay the balance at the desk on collection, and the terms confirmed at booking are the terms you receive. Always confirm your hire in advance to guarantee your price from the moment you collect the keys.
• Where the airport is: Zvartnots International Airport is about 12 km west of central Yerevan, near the village of Parakar in the Armavir region. It is a single terminal building, with the arrivals hall on the first level and departures on the second, and it is listed as lying just off the M5, one of Armenia's main highways.
• Where the desk is: Green Motion lists this pick-up as a delivery service location at the airport rather than a counter in the arrivals hall. The listing directs arriving passengers to collect their baggage, call the branch, and meet a representative outside the airport. The exact meeting point and contact number for your hire are shown on your booking voucher, which is the definitive source, so check it before you travel and follow it on arrival.
• Opening hours: One listing shows the branch open 08:00 to 22:00 every day. Choose a flight that lands comfortably inside this window, and confirm the hours for your date in your booking confirmation.
• Delayed flights: If your flight is delayed, tell the supplier using the contact details on your voucher. Green Motion's general guidance is that a car is usually held for about two hours after a delayed pick-up, so do not rely on it for a long delay.
• Arriving without a car: An airport bus runs into central Yerevan from a stop in front of the terminal, and taxis are available outside arrivals. Most listings give the journey as about 20 minutes by road. Fares and routes change, so check on the day.
• What to bring: The main driver should carry an original driving licence, an International Driving Permit, a passport, and a credit card in their own name with a limit high enough to cover the excess hold. Photocopies are not accepted.

Pick-Up, Drop-Off, and Refuelling at Yerevan Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)

• Returning the car: Return the car at the time and place shown in your booking confirmation. Green Motion's general guidance is that returns outside office hours are not authorised unless agreed in advance, and a key drop box has not been confirmed for this service, so arrange any late or early return with the supplier before you travel.
• Nearest petrol station: Green Motion's airport guidance notes a petrol station about 2 km from the terminal and advises filling up before long drives. The specific station and its hours are not confirmed, so ask the supplier at handover which station to use, and allow time to refuel before your return.
• Fuel policy: Confirm the fuel type shown on your booking confirmation before you refuel, and ask at collection which fuel policy applies to your hire, so that you return the car as the supplier expects.
• Before you drive away: Photograph the vehicle thoroughly at collection and again at return, including all four sides, the wheels, the windscreen and the interior, and complete the vehicle condition report with the supplier's representative. Dated photographs give you a clear record of the condition you received.
• Tolls: There are no toll roads for cars on the Armenian road network at the time of writing, so no transponder or vignette is needed when you leave the airport.
• Winter driving: Winter tyres are listed as required for cars from 15 November to 31 March. Ask the supplier at handover whether the car is equipped for your dates, and ask about snow chains before a mountain journey.

How Payment Works for Car Hire at Yerevan Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)

Payment is made in two steps. A rental prepayment confirms your booking online, with Instant Confirmation from the supplier. You then pay the balance directly to the supplier on arrival, when the car is handed over to you.

The price and vehicle class shown at booking are the terms you receive at the desk. Because the full rental amount is not charged at the time of booking, you keep flexibility if your plans change, and cancellation is free.

The supplier may place an excess hold on the main driver's credit card at collection, so check that the card in the driver's name has enough available limit. The amount is shown in your booking confirmation.
