How long the drive takes
OSRM routing from Republic Square, 23.10.2026:
| Destination | Distance | OSRM time |
|---|---|---|
| Garni temple | 29 km | 36 min |
| Geghard monastery | 38 km | 44 min |
That is pure driving time with no traffic and no stops, so leave a margin if you set off from the centre at rush hour. Geghard is 9 km further from the square than Garni, which makes the temple a natural first stop and the monastery the second.

Why your own car makes sense here
Your own schedule
Leave when it suits you and stay at the temple as long as you like, not as long as a tour bus allows.
Two sights in one go
Garni and Geghard sit close to each other, and by car you link them without changing transport.
A free afternoon
Back by lunchtime, the car is still yours until the day is up. Use it for errands in town.
You drive
GetRentacar does not offer cars with a driver. If you would rather not drive, this is not the option for you.
What car you need for the day
For a 40 km trip there is no point paying for a bigger class. The cheapest listings in Yerevan on 23.10.2026:

In the sample of 71 cars, 13 cost 4,000 ₽ a day or less, and the middle of the range was 5,974 ₽. Listing prices are per day and the trip takes half of it, so the evening is yours. If you are moving to Yerevan, that is a good time to drive round flat viewings in different districts: send us a request or browse apartments for rent.
Booking the evening before
- Pick a car and pay 15% online. The other 85% goes to the owner at pickup.
- Check your card: the service accepts Visa and Mastercard debit cards.
- Bring your passport and driving licence. The owner may ask for a photo of you holding it.
- Under 25? Expect a higher price: renting is allowed from 18, but younger drivers pay more.
- Agree on the return time with the owner so you do not pay for an extra day.
The main thing is the home
A WSE.AM agent will send apartments for your budget and district via Telegram or WhatsApp and group viewings into one or two days.
