Taxis & Rideshare in Yerevan - Grab, Uber & Local Taxis

## Taxis and Rideshare in Yerevan Yerevan relies primarily on traditional taxi services and local rideshare apps rather than international platforms like Grab or Uber. The most popular options are Yandex Taxi and GG (formerly Utax), both of which operate through smartphone apps available in English. To use these services, download the app, enter your pickup and destination points, and you'll see available drivers nearby with estimated arrival times. Payment can be made by cash or card through the app. Traditional street taxis are also widely available throughout the city, though it's essential to agree on the fare before starting your journey or ensure the meter is running. Most drivers speak limited English, so having your destination written in Armenian or shown on a map can be helpful. For different situations, rideshare apps offer the most convenience and transparency, as you'll know your driver's details and can track your route in real-time—ideal for first-time visitors or when traveling with luggage. These apps typically offer different vehicle categories from economy to comfort options. Street taxis provide more flexibility if you're in areas with poor mobile coverage or prefer immediate service without waiting for a driver to arrive. For airport transfers or longer journeys outside the city, pre-booking through your hotel or a rideshare app is recommended for reliability. Check current rates directly in the booking apps below to compare live prices and availability for your specific journey.
