$50 SAN ↔ downtown hotel · $40 to the convention center · $175/hr charter — flat, beats Uber Black & Waymo · (858) 522-0264
The 2026 San Diego International Convention runs November 27–29, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center — the center lists ~30,000 attendees, and it is a private convention (not open to the public). It also lands on Thanksgiving weekend: Friday load-in the day after the holiday, Sunday close on one of the year's busiest air-travel days at SAN. EGT covers it at flat rates: $50 flight-tracked SAN ↔ downtown hotel, $40 to the convention center from across central San Diego, and $175/hr charter (2-hr min) — a group of five in the Escalade IQ-L splits the $40 ride to about $8/seat. Flat rates that beat Uber Black, Black SUV and Waymo's surge. Call (858) 522-0264.
Thirty thousand attendees over a Friday–Sunday footprint is the largest convention-center crowd of the fall — and it shares the roads and the airport with Thanksgiving-weekend traffic. Arrivals stack up Thursday–Friday against holiday returns; the Sunday November 29 departure wave hits SAN on one of the heaviest air-travel days of the year. Rideshare surges with each wave; EGT's rates are flat and published. Pre-book both airport legs with flight tracking, and let the apps surge without you.
Note: this is a private convention — attendance is by the organizer's own registration, not public ticket sales — so plan travel through your own group. Families and delegations attending together book the $175/hr charter or split the $40 convention-center ride: five in the Escalade IQ-L is about $8 a seat, with everyone dropped at the door instead of hunting Harbor Drive parking on a holiday weekend.
