SHUTTLES

On Airport

No matter where you park at San Diego International Airport, you’re never far from your gate. The airport’s customer-friendly parking shuttles continually loop between the airport parking lots and the terminals, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Each of our parking shuttles are color-coded to match the parking lot they serve: Green for the Long Term Lot 1 on Harbor Drive, and blue for the Economy Lot on Pacific Highway. The shuttles feature eye-catching San Diego-themed graphics, low floors, kneeling capabilities and wheelchair lifts. And all of them run on propane.

Off Airport

Shuttle vans and buses operated by off-airport companies are another transportation option. Shuttle service is available at the Transportation Plazas across from Terminals 1 and 2.

From Terminal 1, cross the skybridge and take the escalators or the elevators to street level. From Terminal 2, use the pedestrian crosswalk conveniently located outside the Terminal 2 Baggage Claim Area to access the Transportation Plaza. A Customer Service Representative will place you with the first available shuttle, unless you specify a particular shuttle company.

The guide below lists shuttle companies frequently used by travelers. Call directly or use the Web links to find the shuttle that best suits your needs. Policies, services and rates are subject to change and may vary based on destination and passengers.

Assistance can be provided for passengers with disabilities. For this service, it is highly recommended that you contact and coordinate with the shuttle company in advance.
