Chris says
Parking is $20 and entry is $18/person for the San Diego Auto show in 2023. What you can expect is not to see and premium brands and spend about an hour walking the single room show. It is very sad how the SD show has withered to a very small show. There is no representation by Cadillac, Lincoln, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Land Rover, Infiniti, Volvo, etc.. This is a very sad show and in my opinion embarrassing for San Diego.
Henry says
It cost $15 parking not $10 at the convention center.
When I asked the guy taking the money.
DayTrippen says
Thanks for the info page has been updated with new San Diego auto show parking price.
Jack says
15? lol! 20 dollars now its 2023! 2 dollars off and a slap in the face! come on! how ridiculous, just go to a dealership or and expensive mall like UTC in La JOlla and you will see all these cars,
DayTrippen says
I have to agree with you. I went to the Orange County Car show, which was a waste of time. The San Diego car show is a clone of the OC show. I also went to the Los Angeles Auto show, which was way better. The LA show has three halls full of cars and customs. OC and San Diego one hall.
