The SAN Zone Playbook — Exactly Where to Stand (Driver's Intel)
Meet & greet at the curb is a free add-on at booking — just ask for it. And after thousands of SAN pickups, here's the zone intel that makes curbside pickups actually smooth. This applies to SAN only:
Terminal 2 — the no-bags hack: if you're traveling carry-on only and want to skip the arrivals crush entirely, text us and we'll pick you up at the departures (upper) level instead. It's the quietest curb at the airport when you have no bags to claim.
Terminal 2 — with bags: head to the lower level and walk down to Zones T, U, or V. The front zones nearest the doors are always the most impacted; T/U/V sit past the crush, so your driver beats the people and the traffic stacked at the earlier zones and the pickup is quick and clean.
Terminal 1: head out to the lower level and go to Zone C or D — the two front zones are always impacted, while C and D stay relatively clear for the easiest pickup.
Not sure which applies to your flight? Just text your flight number to (858) 522-0264 and we'll tell you exactly where to stand.
Why This Beats the Rideshare Pickup at SAN
Land at SAN with a rideshare app and you're matched to a driver after you land, then routed to the designated rideshare pickup zones — with surge pricing if your flight arrives at a peak and the occasional cancellation while you stand at the curb. An EGT pickup inverts all of it: the booking happened days ago, the driver has your name and flight number, the flat rate was locked before you flew, and the vehicle is positioned for your actual arrival because we track the flight — early, late, or diverted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does my driver meet me at Terminal 1?
Your choice: curbside at the Terminal 1 arrivals curb, or inside at your baggage carousel with a name sign. For the easiest curbside pickup at Terminal 1, head to the lower level and go to Zone C or D — the two front zones are always impacted, while C and D stay relatively clear. Both styles include flight tracking. Tell us your preference at booking.
Is the meet & greet available at Terminal 2?
Yes — both pickup styles work at both SAN terminals, including Terminal 2's international arrivals. Meet & greet at the curb is a free add-on at booking. For Terminal 2 curbside with bags, use lower-level Zones T, U, or V — past the crush at the front zones. Carry-on only? Text us and we'll pick you up at the departures (upper) level instead and you skip the arrivals crush entirely.
What if my flight is delayed?
Nothing changes for you. We track the flight and your driver positions for the actual arrival. The flat rate you booked is the flat rate you pay — no waiting-time games.
Can the driver meet my teenager at the gate area?
For unaccompanied teens we run the Verified Minor Transport protocol: inside-terminal meet at baggage claim with a name sign, a named driver confirmed to you 24 hours ahead, and three-checkpoint parent notifications.
