You can also take marshotnis around the country, or out of the country to Georgia or Karabakh. For more marshrutni info and a list of routes visit the marshrutni page . Private Van A surprisingly cheap alternative for day trips is to hire a van which comes with a driver. There are companies with set prices, reliable new vans, and honest drivers. Another plus is that you can seat up to 10 people, so if you can get a few people on there, the per person price comes down considerably.
Overnight trips are also possible.
The same companies I recommend in the car section should be able to provide this service as well. A couple of companies have a set schedule of tours, depending on the day of the week. With prices starting at just a few dollars a person, this is usually a great deal for individuals and smaller groups, plus it includes a tour guide. I would not recommend a motorcycle unless you are accustomed to dealing with potholes. Cars are easy enough to drive, and can be rented from many places, but all of the places I have come across only rent cars with a driver.
