Economy Lot Pacific Highway

Parked here over the weekend while out on a trip. Shuttle arrived within minutes of arriving. Safe and clean. Staff was a little confused when I was leaving because I payed online, I guess its a new service. Besides that was great. Will do again!

I got to park here since I was only going to be returning the same day and the place I usually park requires a 3 day minimum. It actually has all the amenities you need save ONE!
It’s easy to get to (I used Google), open 24/​7, easy to park, has multiple shuttle pick up/​drop off locations within the lot, the shuttle is fairly prompt, and it’s CHEAP (ish). You also self park so if you want to park at the BFE end to avoid door dents then you can. The ONE thing I didn’t notice was a bathroom. After a pot of morning coffee and a 40 minute drive one would guess there’s a fairly urgent need to pee!
There are a couple confusing aspects. Some of these can be helped and some can’t I guess.
If you come in off Washington (how google told me to) you either have to make an illegal left into the lot or a crap U-​turn at the next light (that’s painfully long). When you pull up to the speaker/​ticket issue kiosk it tells you to «Insert credit card or push the button for a ticket» How do they use your credit card unless they know when you return? Odd. Signage to get back to civilization (or the fwy) is either terrible or non existent. I know the area fairly well and I ended up taking the round about way because I didn’t see any signs.
The shuttle was clean, the grounds were clean. like REALLY clean and well lit (I was there at some god awful hour) and even though there’s no fencing it feels secure.
I made it in, parked, and made it out and that’s all that really counts. If the need arises I’ll use the Economy Lot again in a heartbeat. Especially now that I know the drill.

Well the only reason I came back is because I made the poor decision of leaving my car here in the first place.
But it took so long to get the shuttle to the airport and then again now from the terminal back to my car, I should have taken the rental car terminal shuttle. Sheesh.
The drivers are unfriendly, as are the attendants. It’s not easy to find, so I’ll have no problem going to Wally Park next time.

I used to rate this place with 5 Stars. Price was right. Service was too. Then SANDAG dabbled in their business model. The drivers no longer pick you up at your car. Shuttles are less frequent and drivers are less motivated to help load bags since you’re already at a pick up spot.

Recently traveled to Las Vegas for Mothers Day week-​end. In and out was easy. I am satisfied with the shuttle that took me back and forth to the San Diego airport. The company may wish to consider changing the spark plugs in the vans. The ride was a bit bumpy.

Well organized, well lit. Good customer service. The shuttle runs frequently — had no trouble making my flight on time. I drive a full-​sized truck. Plenty of space in a normal stall. Prices are comparable to other parking in the area.
My GPS didn’t recognize the address. (It’s near the rental car terminal). The phone number listed on my reservation didn’t work (rings once, hangs up). Those issues aside, I’d park there again.

I’ve been using Economy Lot for years now. I’ve always loved them! Until now…
Since they expanded their location, I have been less-​than-​impressed. Their shuttle use to follow you to your car and pick you up by your parking spot. They also dropped you off by your car. Those days are now gone!
Now, you need to take your luggage to a «bus stop» and wait for the shuttle to come to you. In the last two cases, that bus stop has been 4 rows away form my car and at the opposite end of the row. I know, not a big deal to walk. But to charge more and downgrade service is ridiculous. When you come back, again, they drop you at a bus stop and you walk to your car.
Also, there are much fewer shuttles going back and forth. Because they have to go to each stop, it takes them forever to go through the lot. In the past, they guided all new arrivals to a certain row and picked us up one-​by-​one at our cars.
I will look for a new place that actually picks you up at your car and takes you to the airport.

If you’re arriving from the 5 freeway, you can get to this lot easily from the Washington St exit. Just head south and the parking lot will be on the left side. Usually there will be somebody at the entrance that will tell you where you should park. The shuttle most likely will be there waiting for you. The shuttle driver will write down your parking spot on a card that tells you where you parked. That’s one less thing to remember!
If upon returning, you’re arriving at Terminal 2, be sure to wait on the ground transportation island at the signs that say «Courtesy Shuttles» located just beyond the taxi lines. That area is shared with shuttles from hotels and other non-​airport parking lots. You’ll have to be patient as there aren’t that many shuttles running whenever I’m there. It’s nice that the driver will drop you off right at your car once you’re at the lot. The current rate is $ 13 per day.

So… The whole ordeal of having to leave your car somewhere and rely on a shuttle to get you to and from sucks. But trying to make the best of it, we made a reservation with Economy lot. Pulled in and parked. Was picked up right away and we were on our way to the airport and off to Vegas. No problems there,
Coming home was and trying to get a shuttle back to the parking lot was the WORST experience EVER!!. I have read in previous reviews that it can take a while for a shuttle to come. To our delight, when we walked over to the shuttle area there was one waiting there! We ran over, only to be told by the driver he was off work and is not taking anymore people. He told us another shuttle will be there within 3 minutes. OK, we thought. No biggie.
We waited a little while and another shuttle pulled up. The bus stopped for 1.9 seconds to drop someone off and then pulled away. We were RUNNING and SCREAMING at the bus but the guy just kept on driving away, even after he saw us in his side mirror…
By this time it had been about 20 mins and we were tired and frustrated. My bf called the shuttle service and we were told in 3 mins another bus will be there. We waited, and waited… I called again. I was told 3 mins. (3 must be their favorite number.)
After another 10 mins of waiting (a total of about 40) a bus finally pulled up. We boarded and were happy to finally be heading back to our car… We sat in the front and noticed the driver had his cell phone on the dash next to the speedometer. Then I noticed his phone was on… and he was WATCHING FOOTBALL LIVE AS HE DROVE US.
WTF???
How is this ok?
After all is said and done… Just happy we made it back alive. We will NEVER be using this lot again.

Used this for the first time. Never again!!!
The shuttles are soooo infrequent I almost missed my plane in the way there then it was almost 45 minutes to get back to my car at the other end

This used to be a great lot, but they’ve done nothing but decline in quality and increase in prices the past couple of years. I just waited TWENTY minutes for a shuttle on a Wed evening while tons of shuttles from other locations streamed by. When I called after 10 minutes, the woman claimed the driver was at terminal 1 (I was at terminal 2). It’s doesn’t take 10 minutes to get from 1 to 2. Goodbye Pac Hwy economy lot.

The parking is fine and usually the transfers are all perfectly fine, sometimes quite excellent actually but the people working the gate are never good! I am not sure why but they are always short or downright rude, when you can understand them. We have parked there 4 – 5 times in the last year and we can never understand the person working those gates. uuugghh, so frustrating!

$ 13/​day. They used to have a coupon so it was $ 11 but not anymore. Great customer service. Lost my ticket but they didn’t charge me the max, showed then my ticket for my flight and they only charged me for the time actually there.

This is the worst parking option ever. Do NOT park there. I’ve had the worst experience ever.
To get from the airport to the parking was a nightmare. My wait for the bus was longer than my flight. I had to wait 1h40 before I could get in a bus. The company don’t even care, everyone was angry and desperate. We had just more and more people waiting after each bus, I seriously was wondering If I was ever going to get home that night.

First off it was 5am in the morning on a Monday, this place is well lit up, clean and a shuttle ready to go as your directed to park. It’s a flat rate of $ 13.00 dollars a day. This was a very painless and chaos free process, not sure how it operated in the past but they have completely turned it around, I think it’s worth a try.

My go to place to drop off my car when I’m traveling. The parking lot is huge and I never have a hard time finding parking early in the morning. They provide a shuttle service to the airport. Haven’t waited more than 5 minutes for a shuttle to pick me up in the lot.
My car loves it here. It feels safe. I accidentally left my car windows down for a week when I left it here. When I came back, my car was still there! And nothing was stolen! The inside was a little dusty. Luck was on my side.

I remember when it used to be called SAN Park and the cost was $ 9/​day. Renamed and located in a nice, new, well-​lit location off of Washington Street, it now costs $ 13. Wasn’t it just $ 11 last year? Huh.
I always park here, when I travel for work. The location feels fairly safe, definitely an upgrade from their old location. There’s plenty of parking spots to choose from. Drivers are generally friendly and helpful. I usually bring tip $ because they help me out with my luggage, which I’m grateful for.
Give yourself lots of time getting between the long term parking lot and the airport terminal. Usually the super early morning and super late drives from the lot to the terminals are not bad. But, everything in-​between can be a clusterf**k, if there’s a ton of traffic. Bad experience? You betcha! Once it took the shuttle 30 minutes to get from lot to terminal 1, which is usually a 5 minute drive. By no means the fault of the parking lot company. But, seriously, give yourself a lot of time!

Just plan on extra time both ways.
Plenty of well lit, seemingly secure parking.
Trip from parking lot to airport approx 20 mins. Full van. Made a few other stops but not awful.
Trip from airport to my car was ok but a little confusing. The card they give you as pick up instructions states to proceed to the courtesy area. Not clear if I was supposed to call or not because the instructions said to call for any issues. I ended up calling to be safe. From call time to my car = 25 min.
I will use again. (Check website for coupon!)

This is the second time we used this lot. This is the second time the driver was on his OFP (own effing program). This time, he was slow AF. We arrived to the lot at 5:00 AM, boarded at 5:05 AM, but didn’t get to our terminal until 5:35 AM. Website advises that the time to terminal is 5 – 10 min. This time it took 30 min. Thanks for making us rush while in the terminal.
Driver didn’t make it easy for some of the other riders to understand which terminal we were at. This caused people to mistake the commuter terminal for terminal 1 and terminal 1 for terminal 2. There was seemingly unnecessary radio traffic between driver and dispatch (?) concerning a lost bag that may or may not be on the shuttle.
2 stars for easy parking.

This was the second time i used this long term parking because i don’t want to bug anybody (family or friends) to drop me off and pick me up to and from the airport which takes them out of their daily plans. Right now the price for this lot is $ 13/​day and i have a coupon for $ 11/​day so it’s all good.
The service here so far has been pleasant. As soon as you arrive they direct you to where the vacant spots are so you won’t drive around anymore. As soon as you park, the blue-​colored shuttle would park behind you, help you with your luggage, give you a copy of your ticket/​number (so when you get back you can just give it to the driver and the driver will know exactly where you parked, so don’t ever lose it). The drive going to the terminals was ok and most of the time the shuttle is not full, maybe there’s only 2 – 5 people inside but i’m not sure. The driver will ask what airlines you would go and they know exactly where to drop you off, once you reach your terminal they will help you with your luggage once again and then you can be on your way.
Gratuity is also appreciated by the drivers so if some of them made your short trip to the terminals exemplary then by all means you are more than welcome to give them a little bit of appreciation.
