At EVN, you have three taxi/transfer options, and they are priced differently.
App-based taxi
You order through the app, see the price upfront, and the driver comes to a pickup point.
Advantages: the fare is quoted in the app before you accept, the driver is rated by other users, and payment is by app or cash depending on the app.
Disadvantages: requires a working phone with data, the driver may not speak English (though the app handles navigation), and prices move with demand.
Taxi from the terminal
The airport lists taxi operators in the arrivals hall (first floor), and drivers may also approach you outside. You agree a price verbally.
Advantages: immediately available, no app or data needed.
Disadvantages: the price is agreed on the spot, so agree it before you get in and compare it with an app quote if you can.
Pre-booked private transfer
A driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, as stated in your booking. The vehicle and fare are confirmed before you fly.
Advantages: price quoted at booking, no negotiation, a child seat can be requested at booking, suitable for late arrivals.
Disadvantages: you must book in advance, and the price is set by the booking rather than the meter or app.
The comparison
| Factor | App taxi | Terminal taxi | Transfer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to centre | Quoted in the app | Agreed with the driver | Quoted at booking |
| Booking | App | None | In advance |
| Price transparency | Quote before accepting | Agree before getting in | Quote before paying |
| Child seat | Do not count on it | Do not count on it | Request at booking |

Recommendation
For solo travellers and couples comfortable with technology, a ride-hailing app gives you a quote before you commit. For families, groups with luggage, first-time visitors, or anyone arriving after a long flight, a pre-booked transfer means the vehicle and price are settled before you land. Whatever you choose, compare the price with an app quote and agree it before you get in.

When a private transfer from EVN is the right choice
- You want the price settled before you land: fixed, confirmed in writing, no meter, no night or luggage surcharge at the kerb.
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Yerevan City Center is from €40, about €10 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
- Flight delays: the driver follows your flight number; 60 minutes of waiting are included, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours before pickup.
