Jamrenjer Posted December 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2009 We are trying to decide if it is cheaper to find a hotel with a free shuttle-- or one that we need to take a taxi. The question is: HOW MUCH ARE THE TAXIS FROM THE AIRPORT TO DOWNTOWN/GASLAMP AREA HOTELS? There are 6 of us traveling. Thank you in advance for your help!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted December 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Not sure if 6 people with luggage will fit in one taxi?? The airport is only 2miles from the cruise dock and some hotels. Other downtown hotels are maybe another mile so 3 miles at most. Taxis start at $3+change and then another $3+change for each mile sooooo about maybe $11ish to the cruise dock area and maybe $15ish to the gaslamp.

Splinter Posted December 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2009 You will probably need two cabs. There are very few van cabs in San Diego...nearly all are sedans and 6 people and their luggage won't work for a sedan. You could consider an exclusive shuttle through Cloud 9 (Supershuttle) although that would probably be close in price to two cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzerfromcruz Posted December 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 2, 2009 In October there were 6 of us. We took a "minivan" cab from the airport to the pier - the fare was calculated at the same rate as a regular cab. No problem with luggage fitting in the back.
