4-day-badge holders get first crack at the exhibit floor Wednesday evening. The hard part isn't the floor — it's badge pickup, hotel check-in, and the floor all colliding in one afternoon.
$40 downtown hotel ↔ Convention Center · $50 from SAN airport · flat, locked all week · (858) 522-0264
Preview Night is Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center — exhibit-floor access for 4-day badge holders, stacked on top of the week's biggest badge-pickup and hotel check-in crunch. EGT runs flat private car rides all evening: $40 downtown hotel ↔ Convention Center, $50 from SAN airport, locked, no surge. Land at SAN in the afternoon, drop bags at the hotel, make the floor by evening — pre-book each leg and the night runs itself. Call (858) 522-0264.
Wednesday compresses three queues into one afternoon: badge pickup, hotel check-in across a sold-out downtown, and the evening exhibit-floor opening for 4-day badge holders. Rideshare prices react to exactly this kind of compression; EGT's rate doesn't. $40 flat covers any downtown hotel to the Convention Center — booked in advance, with a named driver, in a BMW i7 or Escalade IQ-L.
Flying in Wednesday? The $50 SAN → Convention Center / Gaslamp flat covers the airport leg — and if your hotel is in the walkable core, your driver drops bags with the bell desk en route so you go straight for your badge.
One booking covers your whole evening pattern — out, back, and tomorrow morning's first run, all at the same locked rate.
