The parade closes Hillcrest and Balboa Park lots fill early — so the move is a curbside drop at the closure edge and a pre-arranged pickup outside the gridlock. EGT runs it at a $40 flat point-to-point rate, no surge, all Pride week. EGT has you covered.

San Diego Pride is one of the largest single-day events in the city, drawing well over 200,000 people to Hillcrest and Balboa Park. The practical transportation facts:
A flat-rate point-to-point ride sidesteps all of it: you're dropped at the edge of the closure and picked up at a spot EGT pre-arranges with you, away from the worst of the crowd.

For the parade, we drop at the closure edge nearest your viewing spot and set a pickup point a block or two outside the footprint so you're not waiting in the crush. For the festival, we drop at the nearest open access point to Marston Point and confirm your return pickup by text when you're ready. You'll know your driver's name before the car arrives — there are no driver swaps, and EGT is an LGBTQ+ supporting business that built this service for exactly this weekend.
