Driving schools in Yerevan 2026: Drift, X-Drive, Fast Drive, Anvtang and more

Dozens of driving schools operate in Yerevan and the regions of Armenia. Below are 17 of them: Drift, X-Drive, Fast Drive, Anvtang Ertevekutyun, Profdrive, Zebra, Bravo, the Gay Driving School (DOSAAF), Smile Drive, Mobil Start, BestStart, Avtosirox, Viva, Drive Live, My Drive, Full Drive and the motorcycle school Moto Gym. The details for each — addresses, branches, prices — were checked against the school's own website or page, or open directories, as of September 2026. The list is not a ranking: schools are ordered by how often people search for them.

For categories A, B and C a driving school is not currently required by law: self-taught candidates may sit the exams too (details in a separate article). The theory exam is the same for everyone: a 3-question psychological test, all of which must be answered correctly, and 20 knowledge questions, at least 18 of which must be answered correctly, within 30 minutes. bibip is not a driving school, is not affiliated with any school listed here, and nobody paid to be on this list.

How to choose a driving school

What a driving school really sells is practical driving: the instructor, the car and the hours behind the wheel. Before you sign up, check:

• How far the branch is. Lessons are frequent and usually run for several weeks, so a branch near home or work matters a lot. Several schools also have branches in the regions (see the table below).
• The category. Most schools teach category B. For category A (motorcycle) or C, ask separately. What each category covers is in the article on age and categories.
• Manual or automatic. If you take the practical exam in an automatic car, your license is marked accordingly and is valid for automatic cars only.
• How many driving hours the price includes. Package prices only compare by hours: 10 hours for 50,000 AMD and 5 hours for 60,000 AMD are different offers.
• The language of instruction. If you need Russian or English, ask — a few schools state it openly.
• Which car you will take the exam in. The practical exam car must meet the requirements for a training vehicle, and it is usually the school's car. How the exam works: the practical exam guide.
