Advance reservations are strongly recommended. Finding your way to major hotels on the Peninsula has been simplified by Avis, which provides small, postcard-size directions. Hertz has a driving-direction machine that prints out directions from the airport to any point on the Monterey Peninsula. These specialty cars are fun and easy to drive, making any occasion a memorable one. Monday through Friday you get three hours for the price of two.
Reservations are necessary.
If you don't drive your own vehicle or haven't rented a car, there are several other options including taxis, limousines, minivan shuttles, and motor coaches. Limousine and minivan services vary a great deal depending on the number of people, the amount of luggage, the destination, and driver waiting time. These vehicles also have a three-hour minimum. Bus service to anywhere in the continental United States is available from the Monterey terminal. Eight buses leave daily, four northbound and four southbound.
