 Price Compare Before Deciding by lmkluque
Parking Lots are a big business in San Ysidro. The closer you are to the border, the more you'll have to pay for parking. Pay attention to the rates offered. You'll see big signs, $4.00, $5.00, $6.00 and $8.00, a no-brainer, right? Not exactly. At the $4.00 place it can be per hour, at the $5.00-$6.00 lot it might be for 8 hours, at the $8.00 sign you'll notice that it is for 24 hours of parking, and anything in between!
This lot is the nearest to the gate entering Mexico, on the west side of the freeway making it the most convenient place to park going in, but you'll have to walk across the bridge--over the freeway--to get back to your car upon your return to the USA. I mention this in case you plan to come back after dark and after a few drinks, in that case it might be safer to park on the east side. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Baja-Mex Insurance by lmkluque
Most US car insurance policies will not cover your car beyond US the border--some do, so check out your policy.
Many car rental companies will not allow their cars to cross the border--some do, and the price of complete coverage is tacked on to the cost of the rental almost doubling it.
The issue of car insurance will only come up in Mexico if you have been in an accident.
Mexican Law requires that a driver involved in an automobile accident must be able to meet financial responsibility requirements in the event the driver is found responsible for the accident and occurring damages, bodily injury or death of another.
In the unfortunate event of an accident, only a Mexican insurance policy will be recognized as valid.
Baja-Mex Insurance sells Mexican Insurance by the day or by the year. The rates average $14.00 (liability only) to $18.00 (full coverage) per day.
They are located on the US side of the border, next to the Plaza Las Americas at:

 Closest To The Exit! by lmkluque
San Ysidro, near the border, is divided by the converging I-5 and I-805 freeways. A block from the border entrance, west side of freeway and the border exit, east side of the freeway, is a bridge that spans the ten or so lanes of the freeway. You walk across this bridge get to or from your car, depending on the side you park.
Each freeway offers a "Last Chance Exit" to let you know that the next "exit" is the border. Take this "Last Chance Exit" and reconnoiter a bit to find the best parking place for your budget and for you needs.
This lot is nearest to the gate exiting Mexico, on the east side of the freeway. It is the most convenient place when leaving Mexico. It is especially the best place to park if you are alone, if it is dark when you return or if you are drunk, all conditions that put you at risk in any place in the world.

"The San Diego Trolley"
A great way to get to the US/Mexican
border. The trolley travels quickly,
reliably, and safely to destinations
around San Diego .....

In one picture, note the following:
