By Car: Driving - the best way to get around

  • The best way to get around would be to rent a car if you're not driving into the city. Many of the things to do in San Diego are spread out, and there's no way you'd be able to walk from.. lets say the Zoo to Sea World. The only place you'll run into any problems with parking would be downtown (there are pay lots, but it can get pricey), or by the beach.

    It isn't too complicated to drive in SD - the streets are mostly laid out in rough grid fashion (no round abouts or anything like that) and you have left turn arrows at stoplights (not left turn yields like in LA - those always stress me out when I'm up there!). There are 4 way stops in many communities - just make sure you fully stop and don't do a "California Rolling Stop" lest a police officer sees you and gives you a ticket for failing to stop. The freeways are also close to everything you would want to visit.

    We decided that we all wanted to drink so none of us wanted to drive. I suggest taking a taxi if you are within six miles of your destination. We were staying in old town and wanted to travel to pacific beach, it was six miles away. There was five of us and it cost us $15 one way.

  • I believe that the best way to get to San Diego is to drive.
    If you drive you will be able to see many cool places and you can travel anywhere at anytime.
    The best and almost only way to get around is to use a car or other motorized vehicle.
