thanks Big Willie. It's been a long time since I flew into SAN, and I wasn't sure if that was the set up, given the off site location of the rental cars.
A supplementary question to that above, we are arriving into San Digeo on a cruise and had planned to take a taxi to the car rental place. We have booked with Alamo and I was wondering if we could just take a cab directly to the Alamo rental center, or would we need to go to the airport first? Is all the paperwork done at the off-site place, or is it done at the airport and you just take the shuttle to collect the car?
