Airport shuttle to Terminal one is super slow. Wait time of 20 minutes, then another 15 minutes of ride to the airport. Plan ahead, Government employees at work here, no one's in a hurry for sure

Recently rented a Jeep Wagoneer premium SUV at Alamo.
Was greeted kindly by Dusty. She quickly completed paperwork, provided directions and instructions to retrieve vehicle. Upon arriving upstairs to select vehicle, Rep showed me three options and said “Select whichever you want.”
To my surprise, I selected a beautiful, clean and ‘beefy’ Dark Blue Wagoneer with all the bells and whistles. My family travelled in style and class. The Hotel Valets thought it was a limo👍🏾 as my family and friends disembarked. Woot-woot!
Great job! Alamo Team.

This is a large facility housing several car rental businesses. Shuttle service is available to and from the airport, with busses running in 10-to-15 minute schedules, so plan your return time accordingly to still catch your flight.

Car pick-up and return take place on different levels of this four-level facility. All the car rental companies have service counters on the first floor.

To get to your vehicle, stairs, escalators or elevators are available.

It's a little weird if you're not used to a consolidated rental car center. But this one is fairly intuitive, and the shuttles to and from the teminals run pretty frequently. Just add 15 to 20 minutes to your schedule for the bus ride. Once at the center, you just check in with your specific company, then you will be directed to whichever level their cars live on. When you return it's even easier. Just follow the signs for the rental car return, and follow the signs for the level your company's return location is on. Easy.

Budget has the best car value with Nissan Kicks a small car in SUV form. Held two large two carry ons and backpacks with 4 adults comfortably.

Efficient return service with a free shuttle every 10 minutes to the airport terminals from which your flight departs. Friendly and helpful staff are always ready to accommodate needs as they arise, to lessen that travel stress.

10 HOT TIPS FOR SAN DIEGO AIRPORT CAR RENTAL

San Diego airport car rental center is located 10 minutes west from the airport. Shuttles run every 10 minutes from the airport and from the rental center. If you're at the airport you have to walk to the shuttle location. Shuttle is free. Give yourself a 30 minute window.

There is a very good coffee kiosk at the car rental center.

Verify with the specific car rental how much is the car deposit hold. This can range from $100 to $500 plus the car rental fee.

All of the major cars rental companies in one location. Check your car rental confirmation for the street name 'admiral blvd'. Other rental companies will have San Diego airport but located off-site and the car rental shuttle will not take you to an off-site rental agency.

Gas is up to .75 or more cheaper in Old Town or Point Loma.

Take pictures of the cars dashboard with gas gauge and a quick video of the entire car upon your departure.

There is a protected dog relief area near the rideshare at the San Diego Car Rental.

Bathrooms are clean, sanitized and spacious.

Don't get confused and drop the car off at the airport. Return it to this location.

Gratuities are accepted for the shuttle drivers. Cash is still queen.
