Karavan Rent A Car in Baku Warns of High Car Demand Ahead of the 2026 F1 Grand Prix

The 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix runs September 23-26 — for the first time in the circuit’s ten-year history, race day falls on a Saturday instead of Sunday. Karavan Rent A Car in Baku, Azerbaijan’s largest car rental operator with a 5.0-out-of-5 rating across more than 5,000 reviews, is warning that car rental demand for these dates is rising by the same logic as demand for tickets and hotels — booking a car early is worth it.

The Zafar grandstand is already fully sold out through the promoter, and hotels near the circuit typically raise prices 3-4x during race week — in 2024, the city was reported fully booked before the weekend even started. The company explains that some guests book further from the center for a better hotel price, meaning they especially need a car to get to the circuit and back, avoiding closed streets and an overloaded metro during peak hours.

According to the company, available cars in the right class for September 23-26 specifically get booked up early, just like the grandstands and hotels.
