Meet founder Ali Horuz “I PEDALED THESE STREETS FIRST.”

From a real group organizer

“San Diego Pedicabs was an excellent choice for transporting our attendees from the Hilton Bayfront to the Midway. The drivers were all courteous and friendly and our members had only good comments and positive feedback about their experience on a pedicab, many the first time.”

QUESTIONS.

Still deciding? Email contact@sandiegopedicab.org and a real person will get back to you.

How much does a pedicab ride cost?

Private pedicab tours start at $40. Quick rides depend on distance and party size, and your driver shows you the exact fare in writing before you get in, so you can say yes before the ride begins. Current tour options and pricing are on Power Chariots.

How do I get a ride tonight?

Wave down a permitted cab downtown, or book a pickup online through Power Chariots. It takes about a minute.

How many people fit in one cab?

Tour starting fares are for two. If your group is larger, we can coordinate multiple cabs so everyone can ride together. Tell us your party size when you book.

Can you add music, roses, or a blanket?

Yes. Ask when you book and we can prepare your song, a blanket, and roses for the pickup. These details are especially popular for date nights and celebrations.

When are pedicabs available?

Cabs are usually downtown most evenings, plus Padres games, concerts, and conventions. Advance requests are recommended when you need a specific time or pickup point.

How do I recognize a permitted cab?

Look for the VIP logo and the City of San Diego permit number on the cab. Every cab is numbered, so you can make a note of your ride and driver.
