Planning hourly car service in Encinitas
A little planning goes a long way with an hourly car. These are the questions we talk through with Encinitas guests.
List the stops in order
Write down where you want to go, in the order you want to go. Include addresses where you have them, such as 300 Quail Gardens Dr for the San Diego Botanic Garden or 215 W. K St for the Meditation Gardens.
Leave room for lingering
Gardens and golf rounds tend to run long. Allow yourself time at each stop, and tell us on the phone if you think the day might stretch. We confirm how long the booking is when you reserve it.
Think about the group
Two people can ride in a sedan. Four to six should take the SUV, which seats up to six with their luggage. Child seats are available on request.
Pair it with an airport run
An hourly booking can begin or end at an airport. If that fits your plan, mention SAN or CLD when you call and we will talk through how to set it up. Our airport car service in Encinitas page has the details of those transfers.
Outdoor stops
If your day includes the bluffs, the beach or the San Elijo Lagoon reserve, tell us the plan so we can discuss the order of stops when you book. Outdoor places often set the schedule for everything else, so it helps to put them first.
Group celebrations
Birthdays, bachelorette weekends and family reunions work well by the hour, since the whole party stays in one vehicle from stop to stop. Mention the head count early so we match the car to the group.
Dinner reservations
When the day ends at a restaurant with a reservation, give us the time and the name. We work backward from it with you so the final stop is not a rush.
Visitors who want a local loop
Guests staying at the Alila Marea Beach Resort, 2100 N Coast Hwy 101, often want one loop through town without handling directions. Tell us the sights you want and we shape the route with you.
Evenings out
For a night that involves drinks, an hourly car keeps everyone safe and together. The chauffeur drives, and the group decides when it is time to leave.
