Renting from Downtown

Staying at a downtown hotel or in town for Comic-Con? Our Gaslamp branch is a short walk from the Convention Center and the 5th Avenue trolley stop.

Because downtown parking is pricey, many guests rent here for just the day or two they actually leave the city. Hourly-style one-day rentals start at $39.

  • Walk from the Convention Center
  • Free hotel delivery for luxury cars
  • Great for one-day rentals
  • Validated garage return
