Getting to SAN from Poway
San Diego International Airport is about 23–30 miles from Poway and Rancho Bernardo, usually a 25–35 minute ride south on I-15 depending on traffic. Weekday mornings are the slow end of that range, so leave room for it when you pick a pickup time.
Riding with us means no airport parking bill and nobody has to make a round trip to drop you off. Your driver takes you to the terminal curb, and on the way home we meet you at SAN and bring you back to Poway.
Pickup: Rancho Bernardo Transit Center or home
Shared riders meet at the Rancho Bernardo Transit Center (Rancho Bernardo Park & Ride), 16785 W Bernardo Dr, San Diego, CA 92127. Park or get dropped off in the south parking lot, across from the city bus bays; your driver texts you the day before with your pickup window.
Some shared runs also stop at the Escondido Transit Station; it appears as a pickup choice when you book.
A private ride is just your group, picked up door to door at your home or hotel in Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Escondido or nearby North County neighborhoods such as Old Poway, Green Valley, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, 4S Ranch and Carmel Mountain. Pricing is per vehicle, from sedans to Transit vans for larger groups.
Shared seat or private vehicle?
A shared seat is the lowest-cost option, sold per person on a scheduled departure. Shared departures confirm once enough seats are booked, and you will see the status before you pay. A private vehicle goes straight to your terminal with no other stops — often close to the shared price per person for families and small groups.
