How much would it cost to take a cab from San Diego Airport to Carlsbad?

Question

I am flying into San Diego Airport and my hotel is in Carlsbad. I am trying to find the best way to get there and was wondering how much it would be to take a cab.

Answer 1

you'd be better off taking the train I think. even if you get a whole month pass(125 approximately) that will set you back less than two cab rides. but may come out to even with cabs from the aiport to the station.

Answer 2

slfrussell is correct...  It will set you back about $75.00 -  $80.00.  A better game plan would be to reserve a rental car for a "one-way" rental.  The big players (Hertz, Avis) have spots in Carlsbad at some of the finer hotels.  Might be worth considering.

Answer 3

Try the coaster or cloud 9.

Answer 4

Yikes!  It cost me $30 to go from the airport to my home in Mission Valley.  Carlsbad in normal trafffic...easy $100...more if the 5 is busy.

Answer 5

If I was in your shoes, I will definitely avoid taking a cab. $80 is the minimum you will pay and if there is traffic because of all the construction on I-5 fwy you will easily pay $120. The best way to make this trip is to take a shuttle. Preferably Super Shuttle. Here is a list of all the shuttles leaving from San Diego Airport. http://www.socalthemeparks.com/san-diego...

It will cost you half the fare of a taxi and it's a flat rate so you don't have to worry about traffic.

Answer 6

It's way too much because it's quite far.  I recommend you take the Coaster or rent a car.  I would probably rent a car.

Answer 7

about $80

Answer 8

It would cost ALOT! Your best bet is to rent a car or what I would suggest is the Coaster. From the airport you take a bus (992) to the Amtrack station and the Coaster train will take you to Carlsbad for about 7 bucks and it is a beautiful ride. (I take it all the time) I always see people with luggage headed to and from the airport.

992 schedual:

there are two stops in Carlsbad and your hotel should be a short cab ride from either one you can even call and an operator will help you plan/ time your trip- I have done this a few times.

Answer 9

A taxi will cost around $80.

The best & cheapest would be to take a Cloud 9 (or similar) shuttle one way or a chauffeured private car (from the shuttle places). Both will be about half of what you'd pay for the taxi.
