Check both on and off airport. BottleRock is easily reachable from several major airports: San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and San Jose International Airport (SJC). Renting at a neighborhood location can often save money, but off-airport rates aren’t always cheaper, so it pays to check both.
