Rental Car Boundary Limits

2009 or Older Vehicles

Our goal is to ensure your safety while driving our rental vehicles. In order to provide you with a properly cared for and well maintained vehicle, we must limit the travel distance for our older model vehicles. If your rental car is a 2009 model or older, your vehicle is only allowed to travel within the boundary lines shown in the map to the right.
Your vehicle does include free roadside assistance but only within the set parameter. If you experience mechanical issues and the vehicle is outside the boundary lines it will be your responsibility to have the vehicle towed to our office.


 

2010 or Newer Vehicles

Vehicles manufactured year 2010 or later are permitted to travel anywhere within San Diego and Los Angeles county. Please see the map to the left as it displays the boundary lines for Los Angeles county. If at any time the vehicle exceeds the boundary lines we will be notified and a $175 travel fee will be imposed.

  •   I rented a Kia in good faith 2 yrs ago. Picked up car. Completely worn out. Took pictures drove anyway. Turned in car. Pictures didnt matter to them - Total nightmare.

    Told me I owed $3000 damages ALL ALREADY ON WORN CAR. Reached out later to attempt settlement was treated horribly by a witch named Christina who stated she was owner when I tried to speak to someone else. She's probably not. Contact me to join class action suit. DO NOT RENT HERE, BE WARNED!

    Owner (if not Christina) Please reach out to me.

      This was a great help for me when I was in town for the summer and needed a car temporarily. The prices are super reasonable, the staff was responsive and friendly, and it was a great experience overall. The cars themselves aren't fancy but they drive fine and that's all I can ask for. When there was an issue with the tire on the car I rented, they assisted me in getting it fixed and it was a quickly rectified issue. They did switch the cars on me as compared to what I had originally booked and also swapped out one car after a month, but this minor inconvenience was worth the low prices and the experience booking with them overall.

  •   Customer service is the best. Cars are in good condition. Whole process was simple and the rates are the best in San Diego. All the positive reviews are for real.

      My new favorite place to rent a car long term. Emil was very personable and all their fees are upfront, no games no gimmicks. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will refer others.

  •   HANDS-DOWN the best car rental service in San Diego. I've rented from here twice now and there has never been any issues. Emil is a fantastic person and he responds quickly. I have never experienced any hidden fees, which every other car rental place tries to screw me over with. Emil is flexible and tries to work with his customers so that he can provide them with whatever needs they have. What you see is what you get!

    10/10 would recommend to anyone.

      I have searched all of their website and they literally do not have any long term (28 days or more) rentals at the discounted (monthy) price.

    If it's one day less than 28 days then you pay double. This is almost a scam.

  •   That's right Emil. I'm just a loud-mouth, disgruntled customer who can't follow the rules. Perfect. I understand it's your word against mine. You're the long-time businessman, I'm just a little rule-breaker. I know I can't win a war of words with you. You're just too clever. You've been doing what you're doing for a long time now, I'm guessing the better part of 20 years. The truth of the matter is that you're a scam-artist, and a pretty good one at that. You certainly stole my money, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Nothing you said here is true, but you already know that. You bamboozled me into signing that third month. You had promised that you had a more desirable car coming back in, and that I would have dibs on that one. Obviously I needed a car, and I trusted you were a man of your word, only to learn that you (or someone on your awesome, family-owned team) gave that car to someone else. You were condescendingly unapologetic while you were stealing my money. You're a liar. And a thief. And a punk. I imagine you'll get yours, but I can't be certain. You've been getting away with your nonsense for decades now. I just wanted to do my best for you here. You know you shouldn't be allowed to do what you're doing. Your customers deserve a fair warning as to what they're getting into. I'm just here to help. You keep doing you.

      Super friendly staff and more than accommodating! I really enjoy the service and hope other renters can follow suit when it comes to being respectful and trustworthy. Haven't had any issues at all with this service and I've been using their vehicles since February!

      This place is a Godsend! Rental car prices have skyrocketed. I needed reliable, reasonably priced transportation for a month in San Diego. I got a nice car, a little older, not flashy, for a great price. On arrival, staff were professional and got me on my way fast. Highly recommend!

  •   They are crooks. They have their employees write good reviews while they screw their customers over. You have to show proof of insurance and they still won't let you out the door without buying their own insurance. They are sleepy. RUN!!!!!

  •   Emil and Diana are great! Emil has kept touch and gives great advice. They have the best deals in the state. Their deals are better than any service out there. Even better than those places that has cheap in their name. Their cars are pretty good and they ensure to keep steady communication with their customers. I'm glad that I ran across this company because they are a great business and actually care about their customers and the community. They truly have great prices and great cars. The offer regular vehicles and premium which are around 2018 Base models.

    They get a great amount of business because of their fair deals. I highly recommend that you book a reservation if you are in need of a vehicle because you can also rent monthly. They will be sure to help you. Check them out!

      I needed time to make a decision before purchasing my next car. I contacted San Diego Car Rental. I rented a car from them for a month. They were easy and friendly to work with. Renting and returning was simple and easy. I highly recommend.
