EGT Meets Pacific Surfliner Trains

Elite Green Transportation provides flat-rate car service to and from San Diego's two Amtrak Pacific Surfliner stations: Santa Fe Depot (downtown, 1050 Kettner Blvd) and Old Town Transit Center (4005 Taylor St). Whether you're arriving on the Surfliner from Los Angeles, Orange County, or Santa Barbara, or departing for business, EGT has a chauffeur waiting — not an Uber surge price.

Santa Fe Depot — Downtown San Diego

Address & Location

1050 Kettner Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92101. The primary Amtrak Surfliner terminal. Final stop southbound on the Pacific Coast route. Direct access to downtown, waterfront, and Gaslamp Quarter.

About the Area

Santa Fe Depot is a beautiful historic building and a major transit hub. However, the area around the depot and immediate vicinity has significant transient activity, particularly in evenings and early mornings. For safety and comfort, having a car waiting curbside—not a pickup point 3 blocks away—is recommended.

EGT Advantage: We pull to the Kettner/Broadway drop zone. You exit the train and step directly into a BMW i7 or Rivian R1S. No walking through unlit streets. No waiting for a rideshare to arrive.

Old Town Transit Center — Mission Valley

Address & Location

4005 Taylor Street, San Diego, CA 92110. The second Surfliner stop in San Diego. Transit hub connecting bus lines, trolley, and rail. Serves Old Town, Mission Valley, and connections north.

About the Area

Old Town Transit Center can be disorienting for first-time visitors—large parking lot, multiple exit points, and taxi/rideshare availability is inconsistent, especially late at night. EGT eliminates confusion: book from the train, and we're waiting at the main exit when you arrive.
