Unique way to see San Diego - This is a unique way to see San Diego. The GPS guidance/ information was phenomenal; the route was perfect (not much traffic and easy to maneuver); the GoCar was difficult to get in and out (we are 80 years old) but easy to drive with pre tour instruction. Trace (Go Car employee) made sure we were comfortable with vehicle and overall tour.

Fantastic informative drive - Fantastic drive, easy with the GPS even with a couple of detours.
Very informative and definitely worth it for 2 hours.
Urge you to take out the insurance for only 20 dollars, only for peace of mind.

The best way to see the city! - This was such a cool way to see the city! We were a little nervous at first, but they made it so easy to get started and move around (you do not get on the freeway if that is something you would be worried about). Make sure you bring your sunscreen and avoid hats that can fly off your head. We did the electric car and that was super cool.

Night Time is the Way to go! - This was extremely enjoyable experience. VERY glad we were able to go at night to see the San Diego night life in the Gaslamp District. Balboa Park was AMAZING. This is a HIGHLY recommended experience.

Fun Perspective - We really enjoyed the ride. It was a great overview of what fun things you could explore in San Diego.
The staff was friendly and all instructions were clear.
I think our only complaint was that with traffic there really wasn't time to get out and explore.

The Vanderhall is not as pictured, and is a run-down mess - First of all, the car is a beat up run down vehicle that ars not a bit or resemblance to the sleek black photo. We were given a run down yellow car that resembled a tennis ball can on its side. the seats are so low that at 5'5" I could not see over the dashboard, much less the review mirrors. Getting into the car (no doors) is like getting into a very deep-seated kayak---30 " from the edge of the car to the seat below. If you cannot get out of a bath tub on your own, do not rent this car. The seat belts did not latch properly, the helmet straps do not secure the helmets securely. They are "sanitized" between use ---taked out of a bin of used helmets--squirted with a spray bottle solution of some kind, and handed to you running wet. my companion is 6'5" and could see over the dash,could barely fit his legs into the space, but the GPS/recording volume was so low that it was difficult to hear over regular traffic noise. We pulled over mid-way but could not find any way to increase the volume. The engine is badly tuned, so it lurches unevenly. Again, the driver is an experienced mechanic and driver and had problems with the smoothness of the excelleration and the shimmy in the alignment on any straightaway nearly jarred the steeringwheel out of his hands. We could not wait to get out of this cramped painful mess with absolutely no padding in the seats to off-set the hard bumps.
This is not this company's finest ride, for sure, and it would be impossible to drive if the driver was unser 6 ' tall.
On the positive side, The Go Car tours are a great way to put the various neighborhoods of the downtown and marina into a perspective so that you have a feel where you want to stay or visit in the future.
On this tour or any other, they indicate "you may want to stop and explore" but we did not stop at any point. We just had enough time to complete the tour in 2 hours without any stops.
I would recommend any of the other options from Go Car tours, but definately not this one.
