Your type of car will depend on where you are staying, the type of activities you are hoping to do, and also whether you are alone or with family. If you are in town with your family, you can get a San Diego SUV rental or a van. These types of cars are large enough to accommodate a large capacity of people plus luggage. However, if you are alone, you need a compact car or a small car that will help you navigate the busy streets at ease without causing any accidents. Also, with the small car, it is easy to park because it takes up smaller space.
When driving in San Diego, driving next to schools, residential areas, and in the business center, your speed limit should remain at 25 mph. When on a highway, you can go at a speed of 70 mph maximum and 65 mph on freeways and unmarked freeways. There are speed cameras and speed phones that you can use to post a speed limit on an area. Before your pick up your San Diego SUV rental, you need to ask the company some of the tips to avoid committing an offense.
For the safety of your car, you can decide to use car parking companies in San Diego like Sunset Cliff Natural park, La Jolla Beach, Mission Beach, and many others. These are private parking lots and are chargeable. You can pay about $10 during the day, while overnight parking goes from about $15 to $30 per night. There is also free parking and street parking. Free parking lots are Lion Parking, Ace Parking-6th & K parkade, and San Diego Public Library.

Pros:
Staff was friendlyCons:
My vehicle was not ready on time so I had to return later. When I returned I was given the wrong vehicle, much less than I had paid for. The manager was not able to give discount because the rental was purchased thru Kayak. Will most likely never use Kayak or Fox again.5.2 Fair
Jan 2020
Pros:
Drop off and pick up was very easyCons:
We had our rental car broke into and staff that I called laughed at me saying my claim number was wrong. They also told me that if we needed to be picked up they couldn’t do it because we had a family of 5 and they could only take up to 4 people. So stayed that we had to find a ride to the airport ourselves or just drive it back in the condition it was in. They also told me that even though we had a bad situation happen if our car was not back on time we would get charged for it being late and entire extra day. We also we supposed to get a gull size car and we did not get that. Very disappointed and will not rent from them again!!!!6.0 Okay
Jan 2020
Pros:
friendly staffCons:
took awhile to get through the line at the counter for pick-up. And, when I needed to change the credit card I initially used, I couldn't do it at drop-off. it took quite a process to get it switched.2.8 Poor
Jan 2020
Cons:
Fox refused to honor the price agreed upon through Kayak. They were going to charge me $65 more per day. I will never rent with Fox and may never use Kayak again.4.4 Mediocre
Jan 2020
Pros:
staff was ok, but far from friendly. pickup guy failed to note the car was smashed in the side and repaired (evidenced by the non factory two tone paint work) and the return guy barely looked up from his device...Cons:
it sure would have been nice to get the car i reserved (Toyota RAV4) or Better instead of the POS Mitsubishi Outlander (Sport(!) no less!!) i got for my family of four. poor comfort, lousy handling, acceleration, fit AND finish. an otherwise outstanding two week trip ended up be a series of non stop jokes over what a lousy vehicle we had.12 locations in San Diego

Pros:
Car was clean.Cons:

May 2021
Pros:
Nothing because they said or we scheduled to pick up the car at 6:00 PM and it was confirmed. We received emails for 6:00 PM pickup. When we went for pickup they were closed and there was already a customer waiting who said he had have a really hard time getting a car there. The gates were closed, no car for us. The response was “guy leaves 6:00 pm on the dot” Really? Worst place to book from. Never book your car here unless you want to take the risk of not having a car to drive when you get there.Cons:
Everything - I don’t think this car rental should be permitted to operate if they don’t have the will to serve their customers with right information and service.One location in San Diego

Jun 2017
Cons:
Rental return in San Francisco is not in the rental return building and I was directed to a non existent location 20 minutes away in Burlingame only to find out that the real drop off was at an almost unfindable location on south canal. When I finally did arrive no one was being helped. 2 employees said they were short staffed. It took me a full hour to drop off my car4.8 Mediocre
Jun 2017
Pros:
The car was fairly new.Cons:
The car was dirty. Arrived at the rental place and had to wait while they "cleaned the car" even though I had a reservation. They must have just hosed it down even though it took 20 minutes. The dashboard was covered in dust, there was white residue on the seats, a whole slice of pizza in full view stuck down beside the seat, and pepperoni and cheese in multiple places through the car.6.0 Okay

Cons:
Booked a van pickup 5pm and drop off at same time 2 days later. The day off, 3 hours before pickup, I get a phone call from the location telling me I need to pickup an hour early because they decide to close at 4 “today”. Of fine. “Oh and also you need to drop off before 10am in 2 days because we will be closed at 10am”. “Or you can pay an extra $60 for late drop off”. What?? Late drop off would mean I extend pass my 24h, which I’m not!! If you decide to close early how does that become my problem?? Very disappointing.2.0 Poor
Mar 2020
Cons:
Booked a van for 2 days w/ 150 mile per day. Arrived at location to be told that policies “of this specific branch” have changed and are now 150 “per rental” (!!!??) Long story short it’s obvious Non sense. Worker at location didn’t show any compassion and on the phone corporate couldn’t do anything because “we are reservation center and customer center only works week days”. Customer service non existent, bummer for loyal and respectful customers like us but I guess that’s the way it goes now.3.2 Poor

Feb 2020
Cons:
I can accurately rate this—they never showed up to pick me up. I waited a half hour for the shuttle and finally had to rent another car because I had a meeting in another town. I sincerely hope they didn’t charge my credit card.3.6 Poor
Jan 2020
Cons:
Poor attitude. Had to wait for an hr and dealt with screw you attitude from the front desk. The place was dirty and shady. The van was old (60k + miles) and dirty. It was conveniently near the airport so that is a plus. Most of all is the lady at the front desk who was awful.9.6 Wonderful
Sep 2019
Pros:
The staff was friendly and helpful. The drop off was super easy. We had a terrific vehicle for the cost.Cons:
Didn't love that we had to go to the transit center for rentals & from there take another van (that we had to call & wait for). Also, we had to return by 2 or be charged extra to return it later to a different location (it was a Sat)- those were the only downsides to an otherwise great experience.One location in San Diego

Jan 2016
Pros:
We booked the reservation online that stated in bold, Unlimited Miles. We were traveling from San Diego to Phoenix. Unfortunately, unlimited does not mean unlimited. Our rental price would have doubled due to a fee per mile after 150 miles. We chose not to go through with the rental as a result, which was extremely disappointing. This survey is also frustrating because I can't adjust the rating for each category. Overall, it was a poor experience.10.0 Wonderful
Jan 2016
Pros:
They accept debit cards! This is an issue sometimes in this industry. They also didn't require me to purchase any extra insurance because I was using a debit card (it was still ootional). Friendly staff, super quick, not a lot of paperwork. More than reasonable prices. I'm a happy customer.2 locations in San Diego

Pros:
Relatively quick pickup and processing, car was in good condition and performed well. Associate at the desk was professional and friendly. Car was newer model Hyundai.Cons:

Sep 2017
Pros:
Inexpensive.Cons:
The "rental car insurance" ads lead me to buy insurance while I was online reserving a car. What I didin't know -- Even with the reading of the clauses which are difficult to understand -- was that my own car insurance company would be the one I'd contact first before this one kicked in. (According to the clerk at Green Motion.) So I ended up buying the one offered by Green Motion, and wasted money on Allianz.One location in San Diego
