Regulation — RA Road Transport Inspectorate

Ride-hailing in Armenia is regulated by the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure through the Road Transport Inspectorate (Ավտոմոբիլային տրանսպորտի տեսչություն). Drivers on GeraRide must hold a valid RA driver's licence, valid insurance (OSAGO equivalent), and an active vehicle inspection (ՏՕ). The platform verifies each of these at sign-up and annually thereafter. Taxi-category licensing applies for dedicated drivers; private-hire rules apply to part-time drivers with the correct registration.

AMD fares and surge

Base fare: 500 ֏ (Yerevan), 600 ֏ (Gyumri / Vanadzor)

Payment rails

Idram is the one-tap default for Armenian riders and the most common payment method. We also support Easy Pay, Tel-Cell, Arca card, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and (at driver's discretion) cash.

City coverage

Yerevan — all 12 districts, with densest car supply in Kentron, Arabkir, Davtashen
Gyumri — central and residential areas
Vanadzor — central areas, expanding
Dilijan — tourist-season coverage via partner drivers
Tsaghkadzor — winter-season demand with partner fleet
Intercity — Yerevan ↔ Gyumri / Vanadzor / Dilijan scheduled transfers at fixed AMD rates

Armenian use case

A traveller arrives at Zvartnots Airport (EVN) on a late flight. They open GeraRide before baggage claim, request a ride to Arabkir; fare quoted 10,200 ֏ inclusive of airport pickup fee; paid in advance via Idram. Driver arrives at the designated ride-share pickup within 8 minutes; track in-app; arrive in Arabkir 20 minutes later with digital receipt issued automatically — useful for expense reporting back to the diaspora employer.

GeraRide vs. GG Taxi vs. Yandex Taxi

The Armenian ride-hailing market has two dominant players:

GG Taxi: Armenia's home-grown incumbent, strong driver supply, Armenian-first UX, cash-friendly
Yandex Taxi: Russian regional giant, deep driver network, dual Russian/Armenian UX, card payments default
GeraRide: positioned as the Gera-ecosystem option — Idram-first, AMD transparent pricing, cross-product GeraCoins earn/redeem, surge capped at 2.0×

All three coexist. GeraRide's edge is the ecosystem: a rider who also uses GeraEats and GeraClinic compounds value through GeraCoins and Gera Prime (a typical multi-product household can offset Prime within a month at moderate usage).

Diaspora angle — book a ride for family in Armenia

Diaspora users can pre-pay rides for family in Yerevan from abroad. Example: a child in Los Angeles books a GeraRide to take her mother from Arabkir to a GeraClinic-referred imaging appointment at a clinic in Kentron, paid from a US card in USD, settled to the driver in AMD. Same pattern works from Moscow, Paris, Montreal.

Cross-product

GeraEats — shared rider network for food delivery
GeraClinic — book rides to in-person imaging / specialist referrals
GeraRent — intercity transfers to Dilijan / Tsaghkadzor rentals
