One of the advantages of renting a car in San Diego is the opportunity to explore beyond the city. Southern California offers plenty of destinations within driving distance.

La Jolla is an easy coastal excursion for beaches, shopping, dining, and ocean views. Head inland to Julian for a completely different Southern California experience, with mountain scenery, historic buildings, and the town’s famous apple pies.

Always review your rental agreement and applicable geographic restrictions before planning longer-distance travel.
