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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

1) there were no vehicles available upon arrival. I waited and other customers ran over and jumped line. The attendants weren’t staying around long enough to regulate. 2) the vehicle was smoked in, I tried to reach out to customer service over the phone and the rep did not take my info or care. It smelled horrible but I couldn’t wait for another vehicle since there were none and needed to leave. Horrible!

Staff were very friendly. Easy checkin process. The only downside is that our pickup location did not have child seats so not sure why my reservation went through. We were made to travel to another location to pick up a car seat. Did not like this inconvenience but we had no choice.

My car was booked for 12 they called me earlier to see if I would accept a 2pm pick up and I agreed. When I got there they told me my car was being cleaned and gas and that it would take 15-25. After an hour I received a dirty car with half a can of soda in the center storage and 3/4ths of a tank of gas. The car worked fine… but I’m not using enterprise ever again. I got traffic going to LA and was late to an appointment.
