A plane arriving at the busy San Diego airport pulls up to the terminal. Calif. 78 begins in Oceanside and travels east through Vista and San Marcos, before turning into a surface street in Escondido and continuing to Ramona. Some are major business streets, others are scenic drives that meander through the back country. If you're looking to get somewhere fast, don't mistake a county route for a shortcut. Taxi Service San Diego has about as many taxi companies as it has animals in the zoo.
Fees vary from taxi to taxi, but all are clearly posted on the outside of the cab.
If you're catching a taxi from the airport, they will be queued up in the transportation plaza outside the terminals. It's customary to take the next taxi in line, and there will often be a facilitator present to offer assistance. Taxis usually gather around major hotels and are available on demand. If none are immediately available, your hotel doorman or receptionist will be happy to call one for you. If you're leaving a club or restaurant, ask the host or hostess to call a taxi for you.
