Overview: car trip from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

It takes just under 2 hours to drive from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, covering a distance of about 125 miles (201 km). Taking parts of the Pacific Coastal Highway (Highway 1) offers a more scenic route, treating you to cliffside views of the ocean below. With a Daytrip private transfer, you can stop along the way at some of California’s most iconic beaches, including Huntington Beach with its year-round surf culture and famous pier, or Newport Beach, home to many a celebrity and a plethora of ice cream shops.

Your Daytrip transfer from the Los Angeles Airport (LAX) can also be a direct journey to San Diego if you prefer, with seamless airport pickup and drop off at your accommodation. Better than a standard taxi, your friendly and knowledgeable driver will help you with your luggage and ensure you have the smoothest transfer possible to provide a welcoming start to your time in California.

About San Diego

Once you’ve completed your transfer from the Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, you’ll find yourself in one of the most popular coastal cities in California. With over 70 miles of beaches, a world-renowned zoo, and seemingly unlimited art studios and gardens, there is truly something for every traveler.

San Diego is often referred to as the birthplace of California because it was the first West Coast entry point of Spanish settlers, where it had previously been inhabited solely by Kumeyaay Native Americans. The city was historically operated under Spanish colonial rule, and then Mexican rule, before officially becoming part of the U.S. in 1848 (just before the 1850 admission of California as a state).

This heritage is evident in the city’s rich international presence, Spanish colonial-style architecture, and widespread Hispanic and Latino culinary influences. Be sure to sample the classic dishes such as fish tacos and some of the city’s own Mexican-American fusion creations, like carne asada fries.

San Diego boasts a series of beautiful beaches that suit every coastal craving, from surfing to sunbathing. The city’s consistently temperate climate and 146 days of sun on average mean your visit promises ideal conditions for outdoor adventures or simply strolling around town. The city offers plenty of family-friendly activities, like spending a day picnicking in the huge open green spaces of Balboa Park or taking a trip to the famous San Diego Zoo to see its collection of over 12,000 species, including rare and endangered creatures.

From Los Angeles Airport to San Diego: travel tips

As you plan your transportation from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a simple, stress-free travel experience. As these are the two most populous cities in California, the most common routes between them can sometimes be affected by traffic and planning ahead is best, particularly if you will be transferring by car.

Choose a private driving transfer

To relieve the stress of navigating busy traffic around the airport, it can be a good idea to opt for a private car service. This allows you to make the most of the journey along the way through optional sightseeing stops, and to see parts of California you might otherwise miss.

With Daytrip, you will receive door-to-door service, directly from the airport to your accommodation or destination of choice in San Diego, and your friendly driver will assist you with your luggage on both ends (much less of a hassle than lugging suitcases on and off public transportation).

Communicate any issues or delays

When flying into Los Angeles, as with any other major airport, delays do happen from time to time. At Daytrip, the team understands that minor delays are sometimes out of travelers’ hands, which is why there is a free wait time of up to 1 hour for airport transfers. For longer delays, especially from international flight arrivals, you must communicate with the Daytrip team to prevent a missed pickup or other issues that could affect your trip.

How to get from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

There are a few options for your Los Angeles Airport to San Diego transfer, including the public bus/airport shuttle service and the train. However, the most convenient way to cover the distance between LAX and San Diego is to drive, as this allows you the most flexibility in terms of route and any sightseeing you would like to pursue along the way.

Bus from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

There are a few bus routes from LAX to San Diego, but you will need to anticipate a longer journey time. The LAX Linq airport shuttle service is the most direct route, taking just over 3 hours with ticket prices ranging from $55 to $75. There will sometimes be a transfer required to a second bus in central Los Angeles.

Train from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

There is not a direct train route from LAX to San Diego, but it is possible to combine an airport shuttle bus (namely the LAX FlyAway-LAX2US) and the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train to San Diego. The shuttle bus takes an hour and will drop you off at Union Station in Los Angeles. From there, the train takes an additional 3 hours to reach the San Diego city center, so it's not a fast option. In total, this trip can cost anywhere from $20-95 (last-minute tickets are more expensive!).

Group charters from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

There are a few companies offering group van shuttles from LAX to San Diego, but the prices for these are widely variable and it is best to book well in advance to avoid any last-minute surges. Keep in mind that these group transportation options tend to be more expensive overall than public transit, and will not allow you to stop along the way for sightseeing as a private transfer will.

Private car transfer from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

The most efficient way to get from the Los Angeles Airport to San Diego is with a private car transfer such as the one offered by Daytrip, giving you door-to-door service in less than 2 hours, making this the fastest choice.

This trip starts at $115 and you’ll arrive in San Diego with a local driver who can guide you to your accommodation safely and swiftly. This is also a great option for groups, as Daytrip offers larger vans to accommodate transfers with up to 7 passengers.

Transportation options at a glance from Los Angeles Airport to San Diego

  • Bus: 3-4 hours | $55-75 | Average of 1 transfer
  • Train: 4 hours min. | $20-95 | Minimum 1 transfer
  • Group Shuttle: 2-3 hours | Prices Vary
  • Private driving transfer: 2 hours door-to-door | $115 per passenger

Things to do when you get to San Diego

Sunny San Diego is known throughout the US and beyond for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, incredible food, and beautiful beaches. Once you’ve traveled from the Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, you are free to explore the many attractions of the “Birthplace of California”.

Enjoy the San Diego Zoo

No trip to San Diego is complete without a visit to the world-class San Diego Zoo, the #1 most visited zoo in the US and one of the top zoos globally! The zoo operates safari-style tours throughout its nearly 100-acre presence in Balboa Park, and visitors can expect to see everything from hippos and elephants to arctic exhibits with polar bears and penguins. The zoo also operates as a nonprofit conservation organization.

Visit the many art museums

San Diego is a wildly creative city and has an abundance of art museums and studios to show for it. You could easily spend a day (or more) roaming the San Diego Museum of Art to admire the 32,000 items on display. Or take the whole family to The New Children’s Museum for a colorful and interactive introduction to the world of art.

Soak up the sun on the beaches

San Diego’s coastline plays host to a wealth of public beaches, all perfect for soaking up the city’s warm weather and immersing yourself in California beach culture. Try Mission Beach for beautiful scenery and a laid-back, friendly atmosphere, or head to Law Street Beach off Ocean Boulevard for some of the best sunsets on the West Coast.

Old Point Loma Lighthouse

Visit this iconic fixture of the San Diego Bay, which guided ships around the area from 1855 to 1891. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse sits on the southern edge of the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park and is a short 26-minute trip from the heart of San Diego.

When is the best time to visit San Diego?

As you plan your journey from the Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, it is worth considering the best season for your trip. San Diego offers a uniquely consistent climate all year round. Summers hover around 76-78° F (24.5-26° C), and winters are mild with highs of 66-67° F (19-20° C), meaning the ideal travel time will have more to do with avoiding the summer tourism crowds than seeking the ideal weather.

The best bet for finding deals on flights and accommodation is to visit in the spring from March to April, or in the fall from September to November. This means you will beat the crowds and likely avoid the (slightly) rainier winter months.

Excellente option de transfert.

“J’ai utilisĂ© ce service pour un transfert de Split, en Croatie, Ă  Perast, au MontĂ©nĂ©gro. Mon expĂ©rience a Ă©tĂ© exceptionnelle. Mon chauffeur, Bojan, Ă©tait serviable, informatif et a veillĂ© Ă  ce que mon voyage soit confortable et agrĂ©able. Je recommande vivement ce service.”

C’était un voyage fantastique.

“Nous avons Ă©tĂ© extrĂȘmement satisfaits de la qualitĂ© du service que nous avons reçu de Day Trip. Nous avons effectuĂ© deux trajets avec Day Trip : le 31 aoĂ»t d’AthĂšnes Ă  Lefkada et le 7 septembre de Lefkada Ă  AthĂšnes. Les deux trajets comprenaient des arrĂȘts sur des sites pittoresques en GrĂšce. Les deux chauffeurs Ă©taient excellents et accommodants. Toutefois, nous aimerions particuliĂšrement remercier Panos Peppas, qui a Ă©tĂ© notre chauffeur de Lefkada Ă  AthĂšnes. Panos a Ă©tĂ© incroyablement gentil et agrĂ©able, et a offert un service client exceptionnel, qui comprenait la gestion de tous nos bagages, la fourniture d’eaux fraĂźches tout au long du voyage, de barres protĂ©inĂ©es, de documents imprimĂ©s sur le canal de Corinthe (l’un des arrĂȘts pittoresques), la recherche et la transmission des informations sur le terminal et la porte de notre vol de retour, ainsi que la remise d’une recette de tzatziki.”

Transport sûr et à prix raisonnable

“Gonzalo de Daytrip Ă©tait notre chauffeur et il Ă©tait absolument incroyable. Il a tout fait pour nous retrouver car notre service mobile ne fonctionnait pas trĂšs bien. Il a attendu patiemment notre arrivĂ©e dans le hall afin de nous conduire du Tulum Dreams Resort Ă  notre autre hĂŽtel Ă  CancĂșn, Ă  une heure et demie de route prĂšs de l’aĂ©roport, avant notre vol de retour. Il Ă©tait poli, respectueux et aimable. Il s’est assurĂ© que nous Ă©tions Ă  l’aise pendant tout le trajet. Rapide et efficace. Je recommande cette entreprise, car trouver un trajet aller simple de Tulum Ă  CancĂșn n’est ni facile ni bon marchĂ©, et cette entreprise offre un excellent service Ă  un bon prix. Je les rĂ©utiliserai sans aucun doute lorsque je serai dans la rĂ©gion de CancĂșn/Tulum. Merci, DayTrip et Gonzalo.”

Daytrip ne déçoit jamais

“Marianna est venue nous chercher pour nous conduire de HĂ©raklion Ă  La CanĂ©e. Le temps Ă©tait terrible et, Ă  cause de cela, Marianna est arrivĂ©e avec quelques minutes de retard. Elle m’a contactĂ© pour m’en informer. Marianna vit Ă  La CanĂ©e et a rendu notre trajet trĂšs intĂ©ressant en nous parlant des choses locales Ă  faire et Ă  voir lĂ -bas. Marianna conduit prudemment, et nous nous sommes tous sentis Ă  l’aise avec sa vitesse et sa conduite sous une pluie battante. C’est une personne charmante qui parle couramment anglais. Nous recommandons vivement Daytrip, et si vous ĂȘtes Ă  HĂ©raklion ou Ă  La CanĂ©e, assurez-vous de demander Marianna.”

Un excellent moyen de voyager et de voir des sites en chemin

“Nous ne savions pas Ă  quoi nous attendre avec ce voyage et avons rĂ©servĂ© depuis l'Australie. Nous cherchions initialement un moyen facile de voyager de Grenade Ă  Malaga. Nous avons dĂ©cidĂ© de ne pas perdre l'opportunitĂ© de voir quelque chose en plus en chemin. Miguel a certainement dĂ©passĂ© nos attentes. Son anglais Ă©tait excellent (malheureusement, nous parlons trĂšs peu espagnol), et il Ă©tait trĂšs amical et serviable. Nous avons beaucoup apprĂ©ciĂ© entendre parler des rĂ©gions que nous traversions et aussi discuter de certaines coutumes locales. Miguel nous a emmenĂ©s Ă  Antequera comme prĂ©vu et s'est assurĂ© que nous puissions facilement obtenir nos billets pour les attractions sans nous sentir pressĂ©s. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© pris en charge et dĂ©posĂ©s ponctuellement et avons vraiment apprĂ©ciĂ© notre voyage. Nous espĂ©rons retourner en Espagne et pouvoir utiliser ce service Ă  nouveau un jour.”
