| Directions
to General Atomics
Suggested transport to General Atomics
and hotels from San Diego International Airport is by
shuttle bus, taxi or
rental
car.
The
total distance is about 16 miles. The shuttle bus (e.g. Cloud
9 shuttle) is the cheapest option for a single person
at about $30
one-way. A taxi will cost about $40, which will work out cheaper
for a group of 3 persons or more. Rental cars can be booked at
the rental car offices in the baggage claim area. Maps of the
airport terminals can be viewed at http://gothere.com/sandiego/Airport/index.html (The
shuttles, taxis and rental car buses are located in the area
marked “Transportation
Plaza” on the maps for terminal 1 and 2).
By Shuttle bus:
- Look for signs to “ground transportation” in
the baggage claim area
- Follow the signs to “ground transportation”(for
terminal 1 use the skybridge; for terminal 2 use the skybridge
or cross the street at the crosswalk; for the commuter terminal
cross the street at the crosswalk), then look for signs stating “Shuttles
for Hire” or “Hotel Shuttles” which mark the
area for the hotel shuttle bus stops
There are several Shuttle bus companies (e.g
Cloud 9 shuttle, Access shuttle, Airport shuttle, Five star shuttle,
etc.). Speak to the Customer service representative (wearing
a blue shirt/jacket and tan pants) to arrange for a shuttle bus
to your destination which will be the hotel
of your choice. He will then arrange a shuttle bus that is going
in the direction of your
hotel.
You
pay the
driver of the shuttle bus directly. You will have to share the
shuttle bus with other passengers who may be going to different
locations, so the driver may drop off other passengers before
taking you to your hotel (Travel time: 25-40 mins).
By Taxi:
- Look for signs to “ground transportation” in
the baggage claim area
- Proceed to “ground transportation”,
look for signs for the taxi line.
- Tell the taxi driver you wish to go to the hotel
of your choice (Travel time: 25 mins).
By Rental car:
- Book your car at the car rental offices
in the baggage claim area in terminal
1 or 2. For arrivals at the commuter terminal use the car rental phones
in the baggage claim area to call the car rental shuttle bus.
- The car rental representative will give
you directions to the rental car shuttle that will take you
to the rental car locations (In terminal 1, use the skybridge
to get to the rental car shuttle buses; in terminal 2 use the
skybridge or cross the street at the crosswalk to the car rental
shuttle buses; in the commuter terminal wait in front of the
terminal for the rental car bus. The rental companies are located
a short distance from the airport).
