San Diego Airport Parking Company

One star because I have to give at least one to write the review. I parked my car there over the Christmas holidays and now my passenger door has a huge dent on the bottom. It looks like they hit a pole or a curb. I picked my car up at 1100 at night after a 5 hour flight with two kids, one is a toddler, and it was parked facing the exit so I didn’t not see the damage before I left. So choosing to park at a cheaper rate actually cost me more money. DO NOT PARK HERE!!!

Used them 3 times because of price. The valet wrote the wrong return date down, so they had to go to a different lot to find our car. Waited over 20 mins at the airport and then 30 mins at the lot waiting for them to bring our car. Time is money, and perhaps it’s time to get a more reliable company.

Used them in the past and was fine but this time I called when our bags arrived and was told a shuttle would come in 12−15min it then came about 25min later. They were full so they then dropped off more people at the next terminal and looped back to the first terminal and picked up more before taking us back. Then they didn’t have our car pulled up at the lot. So almost two hours after our flight landed we finally get our car. Also no apology or attempt to make up for poor service. Would only use in the future if they were a substantial price difference. I’ll be finding a new company for airport parking.

Used this parking company on our Hawaii vacation. Everything went well. It was the lowest priced out of all the parking companies. Everyone was pleasant from the lot attendant to the office worker to the drivers. Will definitely use again on our next trip.

If there were a way to give a lower rating I would. I parked here while I was away on a short holiday. When I returned and after I had paid I was informed that they had run the vehicle into a pole. I was given an incident report and told that I would receive a call from Lisa in 3 days…
Not only did no such call ever come but neither has the over 15 calls and messages been returned…
Accidents happen but THIS is inexcusable…

This was my first and only experience with them, I left my car there for three days and when I came back from my trip they couldn’t find the keys. I had left the window down when I left the car and when I came back the window was still down. The person at the desk was nice and helpful but then when my information was forwarded to the manager they never contacted me until I sent an email weeks later. I left her two messages and have not received a response yet. This happened in October and they still haven’t replaced my keys.

So far so good, free valet parking, transportation to airport was on time good music. Above 10 mins to airport. Thanks guys.

I’m a new car dealer and I loaned a customer a car while they’re car was in our Body Shop. They parked it at the airport w/​San Diego parking co. While on a short vacation and opon their arrival (and after payment) it was determined that this parking company hit a pole with our new loaner car. They did fill out an incident report and it and admitted the accident but I can’t get them to return my calls, this is been going on for 2 weeks. I have left numerous messages for a Lisa to call me back or a David Bonaparte possibly the owner? I guess I will have to file a lawsuit against this company?

Oh Man! This place was super awesome and great! We got a flat tire coming in on thanksgiving morning. They got our tire fixed and had everything ready on the way out. This is the real deal. We will be back!

Came back to find my car was dented and scratched while away. The parking lot is self-​parking in tight spaces, so I can understand that sometimes happens. The night manager took pictures of it and filled out an incident report. Ten days later, another manager contacted me for more info and a few days later, I received a call from a detailer to schedule the repair at no cost to me! They sent a reputable detailer to come to my house and take care of the repair in my driveway. Awesome follow-​up and awesome business. I will park there for every trip!

I used these guys again for my vacation. They’ve kept up the quality service and great price. I will use these guys again and recommend them to everyone.

Their prices were really good but it there’s a reason for that. We arrived on a drizzly night and we were told to leave our keys in the car with the window down. We didn’t. But we saw many other vehicles on the lot which were down. The cars were packed in liked sardines, so much so a full size suitcase couldn’t be pulled between them. The staff was literally yelling at each other in front of customers.
When we arrived back to pick up our car we called them as instructed *right after we picked up our luggage. After a ten minute «will you please hold» I got a hold of the lady at the office. We were a little turned around and I asked for clarification three times where we were supposed to be picked up. The lady on the phone was curt and didn’t hear me the first two times I asked. I’m guessing that’s because she was too busy yelling over her radio to the drivers or help because I could hear her. We waited 30 minutes for a shuttle and when it arrived I wasn’t happy. It was already a long day. The saving grace was the nice hard working driver who played great BB King music for the drive back. Despite the crappy service he still got a tip because I couldn’t hold his employer’s short comings against him. Once we arrived at the lot we had to wait another 15 minutes for our car. What is the purpose of calling as soon as we are told if they aren’t going to get the car ready? I’d like to tell you who everyone was but no one wears name tags. Annoyed. 3 stars for price and the driver. If you’re not in a hurry its a good deal. If you don’t like aggravation it’s a good deal.

This place doesn’t deserve even a 1 star. We parked our vehicle here for 5 days. When we pick up our truck from valet my husband notice a sticky shiny substance sprayed all over and down the side of the vehicle. The truck was parked next to the companies car Detailer so we figured out that it must be wax or some kind of detailing product. We talked to Rodney and the Detailer and not one person was helpful or sympathetic. They only wanted to to fill out a complaint form and push us off the lot. To add insult to injury the Detailer and one of the parking attendants blamed it on my husband. I had to walk across the street to a nearby shop owner to get a second opinion and he agreed it was product from the Detailer. We asked for helped again and was told by several employees that the manager was not on sight and no one could help us. We refused to remove the truck from their lot until we spoke to a manager and Rodney told us that the manager would be in at 11. We waited until 11, 3 long hot hours to find out there was never a manager coming to help us. Julia the clerk at the front desk was incredibly rude every time we spoke to her. Saying how tired she was, that she wasn’t supposed to be working that shift and she even called customers pushy, slammed the phone down on one and was verbally argumentative on several occasions to us and to other customers. All in all we waited hours in the heat with our three children and not one person wanted to help us. Now we have to wait 3 days for anyone from this place of business to call us. In the meantime we have this mess down the side of our vehicle. When we left we took more photos of the Detailer washing cars next to more vehicles out in the open lot like there were no issues and not even a care. We will never use or recommend this company again mainly because of how we were treated. Let’s hope the owner does the right thing and pays our Detailer to clean off the nasty product his employee sprayed on our truck.

Overall 3.5 stars. Personally, I’ve always gotten pretty friendly service here. They’re the best prices in town and they have a frequent parker program. Every $ 100 you spend you get $ 10 off your bill. Shuttles operate pretty frequently and when you get out of baggage claim you just call to let them know and they meet you. You have to take the escalator up and across the skybridge and then meet them at the shuttle pick up spot.
TIP: If you’re gonna stay 2+ weeks just do their «long term» program, it’s $ 125 and way cheaper than the daily rate of $ 9.75/day. They have a weekly of $ 64 too. FYI the «monthly» is $ 125 but you can pick your car up earlier.
The only reason I didn’t give them a solid 4 stars is their parking lot is SUPER tight and sometimes you have to leave your key for valet (same price), which will increase your chances of getting your car dinged. The last time we were there they parked our car so close to the one in front of us, that our bumper was touching theirs. OK on our car, but the owners of the other car claimed they got dinged. Who knows, we didn’t get involved. I kinda think they were making a big deal of it b/​c their whole bumper already had scratches… but the point is that it was touching the car which should never be the case.
Despite that, I’m still a fan and we always use them. They’ve always been good to us, knock on wood. This is another reason I refuse to waste money on a depreciating asset like a car… lol hello, we live in So. Cal. Y’no it’s gonna get dinged! lol

I don’t mind giving friends rides to/​from the airport, but i absolutely hate being the one asking for the favor… That said, i’ve been ubering back and forth on my previous trips and the cost was starting to add up. So i looked for alternatives.
Thank goodness for Unilocal b/​c i was able to compare side by side the services that were available and find the best deal. Of the places i called, San Diego Airport Parking Company *what a mouthful*, had the best rates and pretty good ratings (recently). They offer a rate of $ 8+/day and $ 2/​hr should you drop it off at an odd hour and don’t need to pay the full day.
Dropping off Car
It’s worth noting that this place is a bit of a drive (old town/​sport arena blvd) from the airport, so i would recommend arriving at least 1hr 45mins before take off just to be safe. i got there at 4am on a Friday and there were already a line of people waiting for the shuttle. The main lot was full so the guy directed me to park across the street. (this was oddly comforting since i felt that this was reflective of how many other ppl trusted this place). Parked my car, walked over, gave them my spot #, went on the shuttle, and was dropped off promptly. No hassle and rather stress free.
Picking up Car
when i landed, i followed the instructions. Called the number and was told that the shuttle is already there. Walked across the street and found the white van with P7 on it. paid $ 26 for 3 full days of parking and saved at least $ 40 in über!
Not only that, when i got to my car i realized that i had forgotten to lock it! But everything was in tip top shape and reflects the security of the lot.
Highly recommend! (make a reservation first since they can get really busy)

When I wasn’t able to arrange a ride home from the airport, I decided to look into one of the airport parking/​shuttle options to avoid a $ 50 cab ride home. My trip was just overnight so this made a lot of sense economically.
This parking lot is in kind of the Point Loma area, which is away from the downtown airport hustle and bustle. The lot is small and they share it with a rental company, so be careful where you park. Don’t park in any spot labeled «EZ» and then there are signs that say where else not to park. When I dropped my car off, it was a little disorganized, but the guy at the valet was friendly and helpful. The guys inside and the one that drove the shuttle were a little surly, but really, can you blame them? I’d be grouchy if I had to work in a parking lot all day too.
I was shuttled off to the airport, no problem. And when I landed, I called the number and the shuttle arrived within 15 minutes. It did fill up quickly so I was glad I found a spot. Paying was quick and efficient.
The only problem I was irritated with was when I was trying to get my car OUT of the lot. My car itself wasn’t blocked in, but behind it, there were cars directly on either side and even with my backup camera I had to millimeter back and forth out of the spot approximately 58 times. Someone must have seen my struggle cause one of the guys ran out and moved one of the cars and made my life much easier. Just kind of annoying to be spending 10 minutes dealing with being boxed in when I was fresh off the plane and just wanting to get my dog and go home. Seems to be hit or miss with experiences, but I would use this lot again.

This was my first time parking here and sadly it will probably be the last. When I got here they were really nice. They dropped me off at the curb because of my knee injury, which was also nice. It was when I returned that they were not so nice. The girl at the counter was extremely rude to the driver on the radio as well as rude to me when I got into the office. She changed the price I signed for when I checked my car in. When questioned she said «I don’t know what the person that checked you in quoted you. This is the price.» Well I am not going to come back to a place that is going to change the price after they kept my car. Unacceptable! When u leave they will roll out the red carpet but on return you are lucky if they even open the door. Crazy!

I park here all the time literally (have a monthly pass) and can’t believe I never reviewed it. Bad, bad Unilocaler…
I’ve been parking here for over 8 years and have never even looked at another parking company. I’m airport parking monogamous that way.
This place has grown and now expands into next door. So gone are the days when it was only the initial lot and the one across the street.
Keep that in mind when you arrive because it can extra minutes in parking. So drop off your bags when you pull in so you’re not schlepping them.
Pros:
1) Totally cheap at $ 8.75 a day or $ 115 for the month.
2) Friendly drivers
3) You call for a shuttle pickup
4) Clean bathroom
50 Easy freeway access
Cons:
1) Can get sold out so make a reservation
2) Some spots are far from the building
3) Some spots are tiny (But if you tell them what size car you have, they’ll find you a bigger spot).
4) No covered parking
What to know:
1) Make a reservation especially during the holidays or you might not get a spot.
2) Get there at least 30 minutes before you have to be at the airport.
3) Before you park, pull up your car by the office and ask where they want you to park.
4) Consider paying a monthly rate if you’re parking more than 13 days a month. And it’s by 30 days vs an actual month.
5) Have ALL YOUR luggage BEFORE calling for an airport pickup.
6) Tip the drivers — they deserve it.

I’ve been using these guys for the past 5 years (10+ times) and haven’t had a single transaction where I was less than satisfied.
I’ve self parked, had valet parked, used coupons and am part of their loyalty program which gives you $$ back for every transaction and no issues whatsoever. I’ve also parked my car for the day and on one trip for 3 weeks and when I returned, my car was there without any issues.
The shuttle driver’s have always been courteous no matter what time of day (I’ve used them at 3am, 11pm and all times in between). Once I had a driver who asked me to put my bags in their van, which was out of the ordinary, but hey I didn’t mind as long as he didn’t mind not getting a tip … all other times the drivers placed me luggage in and took it out.
The only one down side is that it is one of the farthest airport parking lots in town, but I guess that is why their prices are lower than the others.

Despite all the negative reviews, my hubby and I decided to use this company to park our car during Christmas break. We were gone for about 11 days and returned to find our car in the same condition as we left it. The lot is not very big, and it is packed, but everything turned out fine.
The people working behind the counter were friendly and they got us in and out of there quickly. We did have to leave our keys behind because they move vehicles to accommodate a swap meet. I didn’t love that part about the transaction, but like I said, my car was fine when we arrived, so I can’t complain too much. The shuttle got us to the airport on time, and we were off.
When we arrived, the transaction didn’t go as planned. We waited about 40 minutes for the shuttle, but they called us to let us know about a delay that occurred due to a mix-​up with a large party, which basically filled up the shuttle so they could not pick us up on time. They apologized when we arrived at the lot, and our car was waiting for us by the front gate. All in all, the transaction went smoothly, and I would totally use them again. Don’t forget to ask for the military discount too. Our rate was $ 7.75/day…best rate in town.
