| Transportation | |
By Shuttle. If you have a hotel reservation in San Diego (see below), some hotels provide complimentary shuttle services to and from the airport. A number of companies operate shuttle vans. Cloud 9 shuttle (http://www.cloud9shuttle.com) will provide service between Warren College at UCSD and the airport for about $27 each way. Prices to your hotel may be different, but Cloud 9 has special rates for many hotels. Shuttle Service is available on the Transportation Plazas across from Terminals 1 and 2 via the skybridge. If you find yourself arriving at the Transportation Plaza with at least 5 other conference-bound persons, ask Cloud 9 for an "exclusive rate", which can reduce costs up to $4 per person off the fare. By Rental Car. Car rentals are also available at the airport with shuttles providing transportation to the rental facilities. A map and driving directions from the San Diego Airport to Calit2 are available here (using Google Maps). General directions to UCSD are also available. By Taxi.
