But as soon as you go beyond Yerevan this is when you really need to rent a car. Public transport and the taxi services in Yerevan are likely the most cheapest ones in Europe but it is not comfortable and really safe.

Note that unlike many countries in Eastern Europe, Armenian minibuses do not sell tickets, you make pay by the time you arrive to your destination point. Read also: Car Rental In Armenia. Option 3.
