The AVID Summer Institute (San Diego 1) runs June 29 – July 1, 2026, with optional pre-sessions Sunday, June 28 — roughly 4,200 K-12 educators and district Site Teams across the San Diego Convention Center and the Manchester Grand Hyatt. EGT covers the rides every attendee needs: a flat $40 run to the convention center or your hotel from across central San Diego (Hotel Circle, Mission Valley, Mission Bay, Point Loma, Ocean Beach, North Park & more), flight-tracked SAN airport transfers at published flat rates ($50 to downtown), and $175/hr hourly charter (2-hr min) for Site Teams moving between venues. All-electric fleet, expense-ready receipts, and no surge during the arrival and departure crush. Call (858) 522-0264.
AVID Summer Institute spreads across multiple venues — your Community of Practice, Site Team meeting, General Session and hotel can each be in a different building, with the San Diego Convention Center and the Manchester Grand Hyatt anchoring the week. The most-used ride is the hop between hotel and venue, and EGT runs it at a flat $40 from across central San Diego — Hotel Circle, Mission Valley, Mission Bay, Bay Ho, Ocean Beach and Sunset Cliffs out west, and North Park, South Park and Normal Heights to the east — locked at booking. No watching an app climb to 2–3× while thousands of educators leave the General Session at once.
| Ride | Flat rate |
|---|---|
| Central San Diego ↔ Convention Center / Manchester Grand Hyatt — Hotel Circle, Mission Valley, Mission Bay, Bay Ho, Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs, North Park, South Park, Normal Heights | $40 flat |
| SAN airport ↔ downtown hotel (flight-tracked) | $50 |
| Site Team / district group charter, as-directed | $175/hr (2-hr min) |
Arrivals bunch Sunday, June 28 (pre-sessions begin at 4:00 pm) and Monday, June 29; departures stack Wednesday, July 1, straight into the July 4 holiday weekend. Pre-book both airport legs with flight tracking and let the surge happen without you. For district Site Teams splitting time between the Hyatt and the Convention Center, the hourly charter keeps an all-electric vehicle and named driver with your group all day.
Rideshare and robotaxi pricing floats — and it floats highest exactly when thousands of attendees leave the same General Session. EGT's number is fixed the moment you book. Typical AVID-week comparison:
| Route | EGT flat | Uber Black* | Uber Black SUV* | Waymo* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central SD hotel → Convention Center / Hyatt | $40 | $55–90+ at surge | $75–120+ at surge | dynamic, climbs with demand |
| SAN airport → downtown hotel | $50 | $70–110+ at surge | $90–140+ at surge | limited airport service |
*Rideshare and robotaxi fares are dynamic and rise 2–3× during convention arrival, departure and session-end waves; figures are typical peak ranges, not quotes. And price is only half of it — EGT adds what an app or a driverless car can't: a professional, background-checked named driver, real-time flight tracking with a curbside meet, a private all-electric cabin, and an expense-ready, purchase-order-friendly receipt for district reimbursement. No app, no surge, no driver-less guesswork — it's why EGT wins as San Diego's luxury car service.
AVID attendees travel on school- and district-funded budgets, which means receipts matter as much as reliability. EGT's 100% electric fleet — the BMW i7 and Cadillac Escalade IQ-L — delivers zero-emission ground transport with a clean, itemized receipt on every ride, so reimbursement and any sustainability reporting line up instead of working against you. The Escalade IQ-L seats up to five, so a Site Team can ride together and split the flat $40 convention-center transfer to about $8 a seat — quiet, private cabins that make the hotel-to-venue hop usable for a last bit of prep.
AVID lands in one of downtown's heaviest stretches. The weekend right before brings the Padres–Dodgers series at Petco Park and the Into The Horizon music festival at Waterfront Park (June 27–28), so cars and downtown hotels are already tight as AVID arrivals begin Sunday. On the back end, the July 1 departure wave runs straight into the July 4 holiday weekend and the Big Bay Boom — pre-book that outbound airport leg early, because it's the hardest ride of the week to get on the apps. A pre-booked flat rate is the only ride that ignores all of it.
