Less than 20 miles south of downtown San Diego lies the world's busiest
port of entry - the international border crossing between San Ysidro,
CA and Tijuana, Mexico. Here are several ways to get to the border.
By Bus: (800) 231-2222
Greyhound Bus Lines offer daily service from San Diego to Tijuana. Costs
between $5 and $9.
By Car:
Drive to the border, park at one of several pay parking
lots on the U.S. side and walk across. Parking rates average $2 per
half-hour or between $6 and $10 for 24 hours.
By Trolley: (619) 231-8549
The San Diego Trolley is an excellent alternative;
regular service is provided from downtown San Diego. The trip takes
approximately 45 minutes and the cost is $1.75.
Mexican Auto Insurance:
If you plan to take your car into Mexico, you must purchase Mexican
automobile insurance prior to crossing the border. Most U.S. policies
are not valid in Mexico. In the unfortunate event of an accident, only
a Mexican insurance policy will be recognized as valid.
