Top Tips for Renting a Pickup Truck in San Diego

  • San Diego is known as an outdoor paradise. This makes it an ideal city to rent a pickup truck. You can use your pickup truck to load up gear to use on the water such as a JetSkis, water skis, or a canoe. A pickup truck also makes a great vehicle to tow a boat if necessary. Or another use for pickup trucks is to load up mountain bikes or dirt bikes and haul them to the foothills around the city to do some riding off-road.
  • The San Diego International Airport (SAN) offers a large offsite rental car facility where you can find major rental car brands. To access the facility after your flight, all you need to do is head curbside on the Arrivals Level of the airport and hop on one of the free shuttle buses that run 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Once there, you can rent a pickup truck from most of the major rental car companies at the facility.
  • One important thing to keep in mind when you rent a pickup truck in San Diego is that passengers may not ride in the truck bed unless it contains a federally approved restraint system. Since it is fairly certain that any pickup truck rented in San Diego will not include this system, you should not have passengers riding in the back of the truck. One other important reminder is that in San Diego those that are driving a pickup truck cannot talk, text, read messages, or send and receive email unless they are doing so in a hands-free way.
  • Like most major cities in the United States, San Diego has congested driving conditions during the morning and evening rush-hour periods, especially along Interstates 5, 8, and 15. Driving your rental pickup can also be tricky when going to Downtown San Diego or when driving in coastal communities in the summertime.
