The '''rental car center''' is located on the opposite side of the airport from the terminals, at 3355 Admiral Boland Way directly off of Pacific Highway north of Downtown; from I-5 take the Sassafras Street exit and head towards the airport. Free shuttles run regularly between the airport terminals and the rental car center. The terminals are located along Harbor Drive between Downtown and Point Loma.

{{marker|type=go|name=[https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/es/tijuana.html General Abelardo L. Rodríguez Airport or Tijuana International Airport]|lat=32.5408|long=-116.9700}} ({{IATA|TIJ}}) in Mexico is not far from San Diego, and may be an option especially if traveling to Mexico as the fares would be less expensive as a domestic flight than if flying from Los Angeles or San Diego to Mexico. It offers numerous domestic flight from Mexico and the recently added long-haul service from Shanghai. Tokyo flights now go through Monterrey to/from Mexico City. This allows many tourists from the Pacific Rim to bypass the Los Angeles or San Francisco airports when connecting to Latin America or arriving closer to San Diego. As this airport is not in the United States, travelers need to make sure that they have the proper documentation such as passports or visas for their respective nationality to travel through Mexico into the United States. The 400-foot airport border-crossing bridge opened in December 2015. Passengers pay a US$
18
fee each way to walk to the terminal for departures or enter the US for arrivals. The bridge itself is privately owned, and part of the fee pays for the U.S. Customs and Immigration inspectors. This is much faster than going through the vehicle inspection lanes, which often have hours-long delays.
Quickest way to get to the Tijuana airport from downtown San Diego would be the Greyhound bus (see below).
A cheaper but longer way is the 'Blue Line' trolley down to San Ysidro, cross the border on foot into Mexico and a taxi over to the airport in the Mexican side. The White & Orange 'Libre' Taxi is cheaper than the solid yellow taxis. Taxis of other color combinations are shared ride taxis operating on a fixed route like a bus. If coming to the United States it would be quicker to walk across the bridge into the second CBX terminal and take
a
shuttle
or taxi
to
the
Iris
Ave trolley station
or
to
your
final
destination in the San Diego area
. This avoids the wait times for pedestrians and vehicles going into the United States. The lines going into Mexico tend to go through much quicker than going into the United States.

Private pilots will prefer the nearby general aviation airports, Montgomery Field ({{IATA|MYF}}) in Clairemont Mesa, Gillespie Field ({{IATA|SEE}}) in [[El Cajon]], or Brown Field ({{IATA|SDM}}) east of [[San Ysidro]]. There are several more in [[North County (San Diego County)|North County]], including McClellan-Palomar Airport ({{IATA|CLD}}) in [[Carlsbad (California)|Carlsbad]]. If flying to the San Diego area from the east, be aware of the 5,722 foot (1,744 m) Volcan Mountain near [[Julian]]. Private aircraft have flown straight into the mountain at night, often with deadly results. Some air taxi and [[Travel transportation#Air charter|air charter]] firms offer specials to the San Diego area from local airports, including from many smaller Los Angeles airports and from the [[San Luis Obispo]] area.

'''Services discontinued.''' Quickest way to get to the Tijuana airport from downtown San Diego is to take take the Greyhound bus (see above). A cheaper but longer way is the 'Blue Line' trolley down to San Ysidro, cross the border on foot into Mexico and a taxi over to the airport in the Mexican side. The White & Orange 'Libre' Taxi is cheaper than the solid yellow taxis. Taxis of other color combinations are shared ride taxis operating on a fixed route like a bus. If coming to the United States it would be quicker to walk across the bridge into the second CBX terminal and take a shuttle or taxi to the Iris Ave trolley station. This avoids the long lines at the border crossing into the United States.
