Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Zvartnots.
Before leaving the parking garage in Zvartnots, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
Local petrol stations usually sell two types of gasoline - premium and regular. When going to a petrol station, make sure you stock up on large amount of cash – local petrol stations do not accept other forms of payment. At some petrol stations, there is even no cashier and money for petrol should be given to the employee on duty.
Quality petrol can be purchased in large cities only. Consequently, experienced drivers do not recommend refueling at provincial petrol stations. Fuel here is not of the best quality, and some suburban petrol stations sell it in bottles and cans.
Local drivers have rather little respect towards pedestrians. They do not always give way to pedestrians even when they should according to traffic regulations. Passing a red light is also a common traffic violation.
