San Diego Airport Transfer

Yes. Our San Diego airport limo service uses modern luxury vehicles rather than stretch limousines: a Business Sedan from $140 to downtown, a First Class SUV from $170, and a Sprinter Van for groups of up to 14 from $550. A Mercedes S-Class is available on request. Pickups and drop-offs work the same way at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

On sedan and SUV pickups the chauffeur waits inside the Terminal 2 arrivals area, texts you when your flight lands, helps at baggage claim and walks you to the car. Terminal 1 works the same way. Airport pickups include 45 minutes of complimentary waiting for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights, starting when the flight actually lands. We track your flight.

A San Diego airport transfer from SAN (Lindbergh Field) is engine-priced all-in: SAN to the Gaslamp Quarter $140 Business Sedan / $170 First Class SUV (3 mi), SAN to Coronado $150 (5 mi), SAN to La Jolla $190 (12 mi), SAN to Carlsbad $320 (35 mi). Every estimate includes gratuity, tax, and card processing and never surges.

San Diego International (SAN) has two terminals. Terminal 1 serves Southwest, Frontier, and others; Terminal 2 serves Alaska, American, Delta, United, JetBlue, and international arrivals. Your chauffeur confirms the terminal from your flight and sends the meeting point for the booked private-car category. SAN rideshare has separate public instructions: Terminal 1 uses the pedestrian crosswalk after baggage claim, while Terminal 2 uses the main crosswalk to Transportation Plaza, second lane.

San Diego International (SAN, Lindbergh Field) is about 3 miles from downtown and the Gaslamp Quarter — roughly 8-15 minutes via Harbor Drive, one of the shortest airport-to-downtown trips of any major US city. Coronado is about 5 miles via the bridge, and La Jolla about 12 miles up I-5.

Yes. Every SAN transfer includes real-time flight tracking. The chauffeur monitors your arrival, adjusts automatically for delays and early landings, and includes complimentary wait time. For international arrivals into Terminal 2, the chauffeur allows for Customs and immigration processing at no extra charge.

SAN curb fronts are active loading and unloading areas, not waiting areas. Detailed Drivers tracks the flight and gives passenger-ready dispatch instructions for the confirmed vehicle category; any inside-terminal greeter, curbside handoff, or livery pickup detail is confirmed with the reservation.

Yes, on the US side. For travelers connecting to or from Tijuana International Airport, the chauffeur drops off at the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) terminal in Otay Mesa, about 22 miles from SAN. Passengers cross the bridge on foot with a CBX ticket and a passport; we do not pick up or drop off inside Mexico. Onward transfers to John Wayne (SNA) and LAX are also available.

Yes. Detailed Drivers operates SAN transfers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including red-eye arrivals and pre-dawn departures. Advance booking is required — it is a reserved service with a confirmed chauffeur and vehicle, not an on-demand app.

All tiers serve SAN: the Business Sedan for solo and executive travel, the First Class SUV (Cadillac Escalade ESV, GMC Yukon Denali, Lincoln Navigator L) for families and luggage, and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van for groups and conventions. The Mercedes S-Class is available for VIP arrivals in select markets on request.

For airport pickups we track your flight, so the On-Time Guarantee follows the actual landing time: your chauffeur is waiting when you land and texts you. If they are not, we refund the full fare. The On-Time Guarantee covers every booking, every vehicle and every city, 24/7. To claim an On-Time Guarantee refund, contact dispatch with your booking details at (888) 420-0177 or info@detaileddrivers.com. Inside meet-and-greet is included at no extra charge on every sedan and SUV airport pickup; for Sprinter vans and buses it is an add-on with a second team member, quoted at booking.
