Airport Parking Just Got Easier
San Diego International Airport has about 6,000 parking spaces spread over six lots, not including the privately run lots operating near the airfield. For those travelers who don’t want to deal with navigating these lots to find their own parking spaces, a new option is available – Valet Parking right at the curbside.
Passengers flying out of San Diego can pull into the valet area at Lindbergh Field’s Terminal 1 or 2 (noted by the SAN Park Valet signs) and check-in there. The valet will park their cars for them.
When flying back into Lindbergh Field, passengers must first pick up their luggage and pay a SAN Park cashier. The receipt can then be used to retrieve their vehicles from the curbside valet.
This service is not free. The cost is $30 per day, not including tip (as compared to $18-$24 per day for those who park themselves, depending upon the length of stay). Cheaper options are available at the privately run lots, but for travelers with a few extra bucks to spend, valet parking is a real convenience.
Other California airports already offering valet parking include San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Ana and Burbank.

Got to love the valet. It’s conveniences such as these that make flying in and out on business that much easier.
You’re right, Raj, and I can imagine business travelers really enjoying this convenience, especially if their companies are picking up the tab!
