Our reservation was for 9am-11am, however no one was there when we arrived at 8:45, per instructions to arrive early. Soon after 3 other customers arrived who had 9am reservations too. We called the number on our reservation email and made them aware no one was there, they said they would be sending someone soon. Finally around 9:30 a gentleman arrived. We didn’t start our tour till after 10:00. The gentleman told us he would provide a partial refund however I never received any refund. The GoCar itself was awesome and a great way to tour the downtown area. I would highly recommend the GoCar.

There was several road closings that he had not informed us about and we had no idea where to go to get back on track, which put us in a rush to get back before a time was up. There’s just not a lot of time to stop and actually take pictures to be able to return it on time. Other than that, it was good.

Fun little car to buzz around in. Staff was friendly and helpful. Better be a confident driver as you are operating a very small car on the main roads. Fun, just be careful!!

We had a great host that gave us a quick run down and then we were off on our own tour throu San Diego. We saw so many new areas and things we will be back to try. We will definitely be back for the Go Cars again!

I took my 11 yr old son on this GoCar tour of San Diego and it was AWESOME in every way!! It’s a very fun, unique way to see all the parts of the city without wearing yourself down. Also, at 11 years old, he doesn’t really need a walking tour of the Gaslamp Quarter 😂. We loved driving through Balboa Park and actual neighborhoods around the area. The scenery was beautiful! I highly recommend this for families. We wanted to stop for gelato but realized the place had not opened for the day yet. Heads up- there’s no reverse!! You can park and get out but you have to push the vehicle backwards to get out. Fun. Lol
