Rideshare won't carry a minor flying in alone. We will — a licensed, background-checked, named driver meets your teen at baggage claim and brings them safely to the door, with updates to you the whole way.
Arrange your teen's pickup ↓Uber and Lyft can't pick up an unaccompanied minor — both require riders to be 18+ to travel alone. Elite Green Transportation is the licensed alternative at San Diego International (SAN): a background-checked, named driver meets your teen at baggage claim (not curbside), confirms identity, helps with bags, and drives them door-to-door while keeping you updated. Flat rate, no surge, TCP #0046494-A, $1.5M insured. Call (858) 522-0264.
Uber and Lyft both require riders to be 18 or older to ride unaccompanied, so a teen flying alone into SAN can't legally use a standard rideshare account — and a driver who accepts one is breaking platform rules with no vetting in place for your child.
Taxis will take a minor, but offer no named driver, no background-check guarantee, and no flight tracking — if the flight is delayed, there's no one accountable for being there. A pre-booked licensed car service closes both gaps: a specific, vetted driver is assigned to your teen, and the flight is tracked so the car is there when they land.
Flat by destination — the quoted price is the price you pay, with no surge:
| Destination from SAN | Flat rate |
|---|---|
| Downtown San Diego | $145 |
| Coronado | $155 |
| La Jolla | $165 |
| Del Mar | $165 |
| Rancho Santa Fe | $185 |
| Encinitas | $185 |
| Carlsbad / Legoland | $195 |
