VerifiedPoint Loma has four rental agencies within its borders, ranging from national chains to local independents. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is the most recognized name and handles reservations, delivery, and pickup for the Midway and Rosecrans corridor. Dirt Cheap Car Rental has built a large following among budget-conscious renters who want a reliable vehicle without the premium pricing of the airport counters.
San Diego International Airport sits less than ten minutes east of the Midway District along Harbor Drive, and most major rental brands operate from the consolidated rental car center near the terminals. Point Loma's off-airport agencies can often undercut airport rates because they don't carry the same concession fees, making them worth checking for multi-day rentals.
Dirt Cheap Car Rental is the standout budget option near the airport, operating out of Point Loma with rates that consistently undercut the major brands at the airport rental car center. The company's name is blunt, and its reputation backs it up—renters praise the straightforward pricing and lack of hidden fees that plague some discount agencies.
Sun Diego Car Rental is another local independent with strong reviews, offering daily, weekly, and monthly rentals at rates below the airport counter average. Both agencies are a short drive from the terminals, and some offer shuttle service or pickup. For visitors flying into SAN and heading to a Shelter Island hotel or Liberty Station, renting off-airport in Point Loma saves money and avoids the rental car center lines.
Yes. Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Dirt Cheap Car Rental both offer single-day rentals for visitors who need a vehicle for a Cabrillo National Monument trip, a run to Liberty Station, or a day exploring Sunset Cliffs and the south peninsula. Daily rates from the independent agencies typically start lower than the national brand's walk-up price.
One-day rentals are practical for hotel guests on Shelter Island who want to drive the peninsula without relying on rideshare. Liberty Station visitors and Point Loma Nazarene University families also use day rentals when flying in for campus events. Check whether the agency charges a mileage cap on daily contracts—some local shops offer unlimited miles on rentals of 24 hours or more.
No rental agency operates directly on Shelter Island Drive, but Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Dirt Cheap Car Rental are both within a short drive north along Rosecrans Street. Some agencies offer vehicle delivery to Shelter Island hotels like Humphreys Half Moon Inn and Kona Kai Resort, which eliminates the pickup trip entirely.
For guests arriving by water—private boats docked at the Shelter Island marina or harbor cruise passengers—calling ahead for delivery is the simplest path. The drive from the Rosecrans rental agencies to Shelter Island takes under five minutes, and rideshare from a hotel to the rental lot costs less than $10.
San Diego Black Car operates a chauffeur and executive sedan service based in Point Loma, handling airport transfers, corporate events, and special occasions. The service runs luxury sedans and SUVs with professional drivers—a tier above standard rideshare for business travelers or wedding parties staying on the peninsula.
Black car services are typically booked by the hour or as flat-rate point-to-point transfers. An airport pickup from SAN to a Shelter Island hotel, for example, runs a fixed fee rather than the surge-variable pricing of app-based rideshare. For visitors who want a standard rental vehicle instead, Enterprise and Dirt Cheap are the more cost-effective options for multi-day stays.
Daily rates at Point Loma's independent agencies typically range from $30 to $60 per day for an economy or midsize sedan, depending on season and availability. Airport-based national brands at the SAN rental car center tend to run $50 to $100 or more for comparable vehicles once concession fees and facility charges are added to the base rate.
Dirt Cheap Car Rental and Sun Diego Car Rental both price below the airport average, which is why many San Diego travelers rent in Point Loma rather than at the terminal. Weekly and monthly rates drop the per-day cost further. Visitors comparing options across neighborhoods can also check rental agencies in Downtown for additional availability near the convention center and Gaslamp.
