Flight
Welcome to San Diego! At the airport, taxis run on meters. So, we recommend taking an Uber or a Lyft to pick up a rental car on the way to your destination, as many rental car agencies close between 2:00 pm-6:00 pm PST. Rental services at the airport also include airport fees and taxes. No matter how you arrive in Carlsbad, you're only 34 miles from the Vaughan residence.
