KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Chula Vista

  • Car rentals in Chula Vista are a convenient way to explore the city and visit all of the major attractions, like Borderfield State Park. Having your own vehicle will give you the flexibility to visit popular nearby cities, whether it be San Diego, Oceanside, or Newport Beach. If you enjoy hiking, you can easily visit Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, an area spanning over 100 miles that is filled with trails and picnic spots and is a 45min drive from Chula Vista.
  • To rent a vehicle from San Diego International Airport, head to the Consolidated Rental Car Center. Outside of each arrival terminal, you will find a shuttle bus stop that will bring you to the center for free. While the center itself is open 24h a day, seven days a week, hours may vary for each individual rental car company. There are several different rental car companies that you can choose from, including Advantage, Enterprise, and Payless.
  • Chula Vista is a large city and can be confusing to navigate if you are not familiar with the area. To help prevent yourself from getting lost, consider adding a GPS system to your rental car reservation. The region is also known for having many pedestrians and cyclists, particularly in neighborhoods along the coast, so make sure to keep your eyes open and drive carefully in order to prevent a collision.

Cons:

Overall was good. But it wasn’t explained to me about the flex fuel option on the dodge that I rented (e85/gasoline). Also, I wasn’t told that the vehicle was a 6 cylinder van. I would have requested a 4 cylinder to save on gas, although the van did not waste as much gas as I thought it would I know I spent a little more than I would have in a 4 cylinder vehicle. I didn’t know how to use the car remote to open the van doors and trunk doors. I had to figure that out on my own. I just think a better explaination about a vehicle being rented would help the customer ease into a vehicle that’s being rented given that some might not drive a vehicle that have certain options like remote doors and flex fuel. But overall we had a great experience. Thank you
