Rental cars were sparse and expensive when I was checking -- almost twice the price as at SAN.

I found the opposite during my research. Used this website http://www.carrentals.com/?cid=12175...FYXD7QodHjkpng
and cars were consistently cheaper than at SAN, but then SAN is already cheap. The vendor that came out all the time was Enterprise. As a sidepoint, cars in the San Diego area are some of the cheapest in the U.S.
When the SAN/CLD special was on at UA.com, our daughter found it cheaper to fly from PHX to SAN and rent a car to go shopping in Orange County than flying into lax and renting there ( the SAN flight connected in LAX!!!). Air fare and car rental were substantially cheaper.
