TRAVEL INFORMATION
AIRPORT and TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Considering your departing city, the airline that you are flying, and whether or not you are renting a car, you have several options. The closest major airport is San Diego International Airport (Airport Code is SAN).
TRAVELING TO SAN DIEGO BY AIR
The Westin Westminster Hotel is ABOUT ¾ of a mile away from SAN. You can access airport information at www.san.org. Travelling Time from SAN by taxi or car: 10 minutes
Rental car companies at SAN are located off property away from the main terminal. Each rental company provides a courtesy shuttle to and from each Terminal from their locations. Car rental reservation boards are located near the baggage claim areas of Terminals 1 and 2. Use the courtesy phones provided to request shuttle transport to the car rental company of your choice. Please note that using a reservation board is not always necessary. Car rental shuttles regularly operate at the Terminal 1 center traffic aisle and at the traffic island at the far west end of Terminal 2. If you follow the signage to any of these areas, it is likely that a shuttle will be waiting.
Many companies provide taxicab service at San Diego International Airport. If you need a taxi, simply follow the signs leading to the Transportation Plazas. A Transportation Coordinator will place you with the first available taxi – unless you specify a particular taxicab company.

The Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina provides complimentary shuttle transportation, which runs every half-hour between 5am – 12 midnight, between the Marina and Bay Towers as well as the San Diego International Airport. Call 619-291-2900 to arrange your shuttle transportation.
