About Renting a Car at Chula Vista Boal

Chula Vista Boal is located in the southern part of San Diego County, just 15 km from the Mexican border at San Ysidro. With one rental company on site, it's a practical option if you want to explore southern San Diego or take a day trip to Tijuana. San Ysidro border crossing to Tijuana is reached in approximately 15 minutes south (12 km) via I-5.

Coronado Island with its iconic Hotel del Coronado is located 25 km north, approximately 30 minutes' drive. Always check with the rental company whether the car is allowed to be driven into Mexico – most standard agreements don't cover Mexico without additional insurance. Book early since there's only one rental company in the Boal area.

Avoid I-5 south on Friday afternoons when queues toward the border can be long. Can I drive the rental car to Tijuana? Usually not without special Mexico insurance and permission from the rental company – always ask in advance and expect extra cost.

Yes, the rental company in the Boal area has parking on site, but call and confirm opening hours before you arrive.
