Frequently Asked Questions

The rental includes the use of a GPS-guided, open-air GoCar vehicle, a pre-programmed audio tour narrating the route, and a physical map of the designated driving area.

The standard rental period is exactly two hours from the time you depart the depot, which provides enough time to complete the narrated Downtown and Old Town loop without rushing.

The vehicle's GPS automatically triggers location-specific audio commentary as you approach landmarks and provides real-time directional prompts to keep you on the designated tour route.

You must pick up the vehicle at the GoCar rental depot located on Grape Street in San Diego, arriving 30 minutes before your scheduled time to complete the safety briefing and paperwork.

The primary driver must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver's license, and the vehicle accommodates a maximum of two people per car.

No, the vehicles are small, open-air, three-wheeled autocycles that require stepping down into a low seat, making them inaccessible for wheelchairs and unsuitable for those with significant mobility limitations.

Morning departures are generally recommended to avoid Downtown San Diego rush hour congestion and to secure easier parking near popular Old Town attractions.

You must bring your physical, valid driver's license and the credit card used to book the tour for the security hold, and it is advisable to bring sunglasses and sunscreen due to the open-air design.

The tours operate in light rain, but if severe weather makes driving unsafe, the operator will allow you to reschedule your booking or issue a refund based on their standard weather policy.

You are permitted to drive anywhere within the broader San Diego city limits during your two-hour rental, but the GPS audio narration will only trigger along the specific programmed Downtown and Old Town route.
