KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Napa

  • Cheap car rentals in Napa will help you drive to the sites you want to enjoy. You have the freedom to move to nearby destinations like Westwood Hills Park on the west or Skyline Wilderness Park to the east with the help of a rental car. You can go hiking in these parks with your family and enjoy the stunning environment. Next, travel west to Sonoma and Boyes Hot Springs, then stop by the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn Spa for a soothing Watsu treatment or a dip in the outdoor pool filled with natural mineral water. Next, visit the south and spend a day enjoying Six Flags Discovery Kingdom or exploring the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
  • While touring Napa, you can enjoy many of its outlining areas when you opt for Napa car rentals in lieu of using the train or bus.  However, you must be 21 years of age or older to rent a vehicle from any of the cheap car rentals in Napa. Also, unless you are 25 years or older, you might not be able to hire some kinds of cars in Napa, such as an SUV. A valid driver's license with your name and a credit or debit card are required when picking up your vehicle.
  • It's nearly always best to pick up a car at the airport if you're flying into the area. San Francisco Aiport will serve as the arrival point for passengers heading to Napa. Since Napa is around 55 miles from the airport, renting a car will make things go faster. The airport car rental center is a short distance from the terminals. However, the AirTrain Blue Line transports passengers to and from the center. The onsite car providers at the airport include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Fox, Hertz, SIXT and Thrifty. Additional cheap car rentals in Napa are offsite at the airport and offer shuttle services.
  • Napa City is known for its elevated surfaces and uneven terrain. Additionally, most of the roads in this city are narrow, except the main highways surrounding the city's central business district. It is, therefore, advisable to always drive at a much slower speed on these small roads in Napa to limit the chances of losing control of your car. Also, in the morning and evening hours, you may experience an increased number of cyclists and pedestrians on these roads. Therefore, you should be sure to stay alert and maintain a steady speed when driving around town.
  • The roads in the Wine Country are generally in good condition, whether they are four-lane freeways or winding country lanes. While there are occasionally traffic congestion, they typically affect travelers leaving Napa for San Francisco. Therefore, you may need to allow a lot more time for travel if you attempt to avoid morning and afternoon rush hours. Additionally, avoid driving in the busiest streets of Napa, such as West Napa Street, Jefferson Street, Trancas Street, 1st Street, Soscol Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, Main Street, and 3rd Street.
  • Ensure you abide by California's child seat regulations if you want to drive your rental car on any Napa roads with your child in the rental car. According to these laws, your child must always be secured in a suitable car restraint system, such as a child safety seat or a booster seat, if the children are younger than six years old or if they weigh less than 60 lbs. Any of the cheap car rentals in Napa may easily provide a child safety seat, booster seat, or infant seat. However, there could be a cost for this added service.
  • The commute from home to work or school is reflected during the morning peak hour, which runs from 7 to 9 am, while the travel from work to home is reflected during the afternoon peak hour, which runs from 4 to 6 pm. ensure you avoid traveling during peak hours if you are in a hurry. The most challenging road during peak hours is Highway 29. Other roads to avoid during rush hour include Trower Avenue, Wine Country Avenue, and Salvador Avenue.

They did not have a car. They had no cars even though the site allowed me to make a reservation. The people there said that they don’t update their inventory. It looks like they have lots of cars online. You can select among many cars and classes, but they didn’t have a single car that we could rent despite making a reservation the same day. We were stranded. They said we could wait until their close time but couldn’t guarantee that there would be a car for us. I’m not talking about the type/model that we reserved. They said there were no cars available at all. It’s ridiculous that you can make a reservation online and show up without any cars of any class being available. I don’t know how they run a business.
