KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Coronado

  • Car rentals in Coronado offer freedom to explore pristine beaches and iconic landmarks. Drive to Coronado Beach for sun-soaked relaxation or visit the historic Hotel del Coronado. With a rental, effortlessly reach the Coronado Bridge, connecting to San Diego's attractions like the San Diego Zoo. Enjoy convenience and accessibility while experiencing the region's beauty and attractions.
  • Coronado car rentals are available at San Diego International Airport (SAN). Upon arrival, head to the Rental Car Center, situated at 3355 Admiral Boland Way. From the airport terminals, use the shuttle service to access the center on the lower level of Terminal 1 or the second floor of Terminal 2. Various reputable rental agencies, including Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz, are conveniently located here, providing a seamless process for acquiring a rental car. Enjoy your drive to Coronado and explore its captivating attractions with the convenience of an airport car rental.
  • When driving car rentals in Coronado, remember to stay patient and cautious due to occasional heavy traffic, especially during rush hours. Local drivers generally adhere to traffic laws, but some might display assertive driving habits. It is also important to remember that car seat laws in Coronado, California, require children under 8 years old or less than 4'9" tall to be secured in an appropriate child restraint system. It's crucial to follow state regulations for child safety while driving. Exploring attractions like the beach and Hotel del Coronado is easier with a rental, but remain vigilant and respectful while navigating the city's roads.
  • Using car rentals in Coronado can present challenges, particularly during peak hours from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Traffic congestion is common on the Coronado Bridge, connecting to downtown San Diego, and on Orange Avenue, the main thoroughfare. Limited parking can be an issue near popular attractions like Coronado Beach and Hotel del Coronado. Navigating narrow streets and finding available parking spaces may require patience. To avoid delays, plan trips outside of rush hours when exploring Coronado's scenic beauty and attractions to make your experience more enjoyable.

I had a rough time getting my car. We booked Hertz from Santa Ana to San Diego. I had the same reservation in both car rental locations. But I had to pay an upgrade in San Diego. I was also charged 4x my quoted price which was annoying. I don’t recommend the San Diego Airport Hertz for your car rental. It seemed shady.

Unfortunately the truck was not cleaned very well. Peanut shells were found throughout the cabin and it was clear someone had smoked cigarettes prior.
