Santa Barbara Car Rentals - Getting Home

Many have asked how to arrange transportation home from where ever they are ending their ride this year. As with many aspects of The Ride you are on your own here. Now is the time to look at renting a mini-van from Santa Barbra Airport car rental agencies. There will be many who are stopping in SB and that means two things:

- Shortage of cars
- Carpool opportunities

Those joining me all the way to San Diego will most likely fly back, but I may use the one-way Uhaul option to load up bikes and drive back up. Last time I did this it was a simple splitting of the rental fee and gas charges between all bikes hitchin' a ride to keep the costs down.

Car Rental Agencies at Santa Barbara Airport

Directions to the airport (on bike): From Hwy 101, take the Fairview exit, make a right turn onto Fairview, towards the Ocean. Follow Fairview Until you reach the elbow in the road. Turn right at the elbow onto Fowler Road. The terminal will be directly in front of you. The Airline Terminal entrance is on the right in less than a half mile.

DAY 1 - do not ride behind mcardle if he has stuff floating out his pocket......do not ride in front of mcardle if you regularly break unexpectedly.......to be safe just stay 50 yards back.....especially near city limit signs.....;->
