Why Smart Convention Attendees Choose Scooters

After years of serving San Diego's convention community, we've identified the key transportation challenges that scooters solve better than any other option. Here's why thousands of attendees trust us for their convention needs.

Eliminate Parking Costs & Hassles

Convention center parking costs $30-50 per day, with lots filling up by 8 AM during major events. Attendees often walk 10+ blocks from distant parking structures, arriving tired and stressed.

Our Solution: Park your scooter directly at the convention center entrance. Designated scooter parking areas are always available, and you'll save hundreds on multi-day events.

Maximize Conference Value

The average convention attendee spends 90 minutes daily on transportation and parking. That's 7.5 hours over a 5-day conference - time that could be spent networking or learning.

Our Solution: Reduce transportation time to under 20 minutes daily. Spend more time at sessions, vendor booths, and networking events that justify your conference investment.

Hotel to Convention Efficiency

Most convention attendees stay in Hotel Circle, Mission Valley, or Gaslamp Quarter hotels. Morning traffic and limited parking create daily stress and delays.

Our Solution: Direct routes via bike lanes and waterfront paths. 15-minute rides from most hotels, arriving refreshed and ready for your day.

Corporate Group Solutions

Companies sending multiple employees face coordination challenges and escalating transportation costs. Group rideshares and multiple parking fees add up quickly.

Our Solution: Group discounts for 5+ scooters, coordinated delivery to your hotel, and dedicated support for corporate accounts. Streamlined billing and expense reporting.

Explore During Breaks

Convention center food is expensive and limited. The best restaurants, coffee shops, and attractions are scattered throughout downtown, often too far to walk during short breaks.

Our Solution: Quick trips to Seaport Village, Little Italy, or Gaslamp Quarter. Discover San Diego's best dining and attractions without missing afternoon sessions.

Stress-Free Logistics

Convention travel involves enough complexity without adding transportation stress. Flight delays, hotel changes, and schedule adjustments require flexible solutions.

Our Solution: Free delivery to any location, flexible pickup times, and 24/7 customer support. We adapt to your changing schedule, not the other way around.

Major Events We Serve

Our experience spans every type of convention center event. We understand the unique logistics, crowd patterns, and transportation needs of each event category.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book for major conventions?

For Comic-Con and other major events, we recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance. Our inventory fills up quickly during peak convention periods. For smaller conferences, 3-5 days notice is usually sufficient.

Where exactly can I park my scooter at the convention center?

Designated scooter parking is available on Harbor Drive (north sidewalk), 1st Avenue scooter zones, and Seaport Village areas. We provide detailed parking maps with every rental and can recommend the closest legal parking to your specific convention hall.

What happens if my scooter runs out of battery during the day?

Every rental includes a portable charger, and our scooters have 25+ mile range - more than enough for convention use. If you experience any issues, our support team provides same-day battery swaps or replacement scooters within 30 minutes.

Do you offer corporate billing for company groups?

Yes! We provide corporate billing, detailed expense reports, and can coordinate group deliveries to your hotel or office. Many San Diego biotech and tech companies use our services for conference transportation. Contact us for corporate account setup.

Is it safe to ride scooters in downtown San Diego traffic?

San Diego has excellent bike lane infrastructure connecting hotels to the convention center. We provide route maps highlighting the safest paths, including the waterfront route that avoids most traffic. All riders receive safety briefings and DOT-approved helmets.

What's your cancellation policy for convention bookings?

We understand convention plans change. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your rental start time. For major events like Comic-Con, we offer flexible rescheduling if your convention plans change due to badge lottery results or travel issues.
