Transportation options in the city
San Diego has many eco-friendly and economical public transport options. Buses are an efficient way to travel, with many routes throughout the city. The waterfront shuttle runs an eight-stop course from Harbor Island to the South Embarcadero with hop on and off privileges for the whole day. The service is available between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Other transport options include the pedicabs and the famous bright red trolleys that serve key locations within San Diego.
Trains are perfect for reaching the most popular neighbouring cities such as Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and the Northern Pacific Coast. However, if you plan to explore the region, car rental would be the best and most convenient option.

One small objection i have: after the booking i received an email with extra info stating that the driver will wait at the arrivals holding a sign with my name. After i arrived to the ariport i got a message with the car model and i had to go outside on a certain gate to find my car outside. I was happy i did not have much luggage and i was able to move between cars until i found mine.
But this was just a small minus, the rest was exceptional and the price was the best on the market. Good job.
