Getting around San Diego with a group
- San Diego International Airport (SAN). Charter and limo operators need a Charter Permit from the airport authority to pick up or drop off at SAN, and the airport advises customers to confirm their limousine company is licensed to pick up there. The airport's page does not list a dedicated charter meeting point, so ask the operator and the airport's Ground Transportation office.[1]
- In the Gaslamp Quarter most metered street spaces carry a 2-hour maximum, and the district is served by the Green and Silver trolley lines with a stop at 5th Avenue and L Street.[2]
- San Diego airport warns that soliciting by drivers is not allowed on its property and tells travelers to confirm a company is licensed to pick up there.[3]
Check an operator before you pay a deposit
The California Public Utilities Commission issues the certificates and permits that charter-party passenger carriers need before providing service, so a limo or charter bus company operating in California should hold CPUC authority (shown as a TCP number).[4]
Carriers that cross state lines need USDOT/FMCSA operating authority, which can be checked on FMCSA's company snapshot (SAFER).[5]
Drinks on board in CA
California's open-container rules do not apply to passengers in a bus, taxicab or limousine for hire that is licensed under the Public Utilities Code or by proper local authority; the exemption covers passengers, not the driver. (Cal. Veh. Code 23229)[6]
General information, not legal advice. Operators set their own rules, and underage drinking is illegal in every state.
