But how will you get there? This year’s event takes place at the Napa Valley Expo grounds in the city of Napa, California on May 24-26, 2024. The location is just about an hour north of San Francisco. Considering the region’s scenic landscapes, renting a car is a great option for getting there. Here’s how to snag a great deal on a rental for your BottleRock weekend.

How to Get a Cheap Car Rental for BottleRock

Book early. The best time to book your rental car is soon as you know you’re heading to BottleRock, since some rental agencies may run out of vehicles. Unlike airline tickets, rental car reservations can usually be canceled without a penalty. The best strategy is to ask AutoSlash for a quote early on, and then keep checking to see if prices go down.

Track your reservation. It’s a time-sucking chore to constantly check for lower rates but, luckily, AutoSlash can to do this for you at no extra cost. After you book your car, ask AutoSlash to track your reservation. We’ll let you know if there’s a price drop so you can rebook at the lower rate.

Make the most of a weekend rate. Since BottleRock takes place between Friday and Sunday, you may be able to take advantage of the attractive weekend promo rates but you should always read the fine print. Follow these tips to ensure you understand how to get the most bang for your buck on a weekend rental.

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.
