Go car with teens

Published on Dec, 2024

Went with teenage kids and it was a unique way to see the city! We loved it! Got to cover lots of different neighbourhoods.

Vanderhall car fun day

Published on Dec, 2024

Great company explained how the car operated and the route ! Super fun experience! The tour had some very interesting sites & amazing good route! You can’t get out of the car for a few minutes at some of the sites

Great Way to Get Around San Diego

Published on Nov, 2024

Great way to get around San Diego! Rented a Vanderhall roadster with GPS and programmed it to avoid the Fleet Week crowds along Harbor Drive. Drove it to Point Loma and then back, be aware that it is very low to the ground so you will have a view of car doors and bumpers when in traffic.

Bucket List - Check

Published on Oct, 2024

We were met with a bright smile as we entered the waiting area. The directions clearly mapped out on how to drive the Go Car and all the safety features. We even got a picture to begin our journey through San Diego. When we returned, we were met with another huge smile and lots of laughter. Best time ever. The staff was GREAT!!!!! I highly recommend investing in another fun way to see the city.

Great way to see Balboa Park

Published on Aug, 2024

We started out on the scooters but quickly changed our minds. We had trouble feeling comfortable and confident ( we being 60+ year old women. We kept thinking we could/should be able to ride with confidence). We went back and they quickly switched us to the car with no fuss or complaints. Then we were off and running and had a wonderful ride and experience!
