UCSD is located in La Jolla approximately 12 miles from the San Diego International Airport (also called Lindbergh Field) and downtown San Diego. Airport shuttles, taxis and car rentals can be found at all terminals. If you have a hotel reservation in San Diego, some hotels provide complimentary shuttle services to and from the airport. Car rentals are also available at the airport with shuttles providing transportation to the rental facilities.
A number of companies operate shuttle vans. Cloud 9 shuttle will provide service between Warren College at UCSD and the airport for $12 each way. Shuttle Service is available on the Transportation Plazas across from Terminals 1 and 2 via the skybridge. Look for the Customer Service Representative in the red coat, who will contact the shuttle service for you. If you find yourself arriving at the Transportation Plaza with at least 5 other NASIG-bound persons, ask Cloud 9 for an "exclusive rate", which can shave up to $4 per person off the fare.
