Closing at 3:00 PM

Thanksgiving Eve (November 25, 2026), Christmas Eve (December 24, 2026) and New Year's Eve (December 31, 2026) close at 3:00 PM. The afternoon window is 1:00 to 3:00 instead of 2:00 to 5:00.

Staying over a closed day

What changes on a holiday is drop-off and pick-up. If your trip spans a closed day, schedule your drop-off and pick-up for the open days around it.

Deposits near holidays

The seven closed holidays are also the dates the deposit rule revolves around. A stay beginning from seven days before through seven days after one of them carries a 50% non-refundable deposit 30 days ahead. Please call to confirm for your dates.

Planning a holiday trip

Because pick-up is closed on seven days, the usual advice is to choose the open day on either side. A Thursday Thanksgiving, for example, means drop-off by 3:00 PM on Wednesday and pick-up on Friday. Call 707-678-6600 if your travel falls awkwardly, and ask about each date you are weighing.
