I just rented a car for the entire time I was down there--a really nice Chrysler 300 from Dollar. Worked much better in terms of getting to the airport at the end of my stay.
Just for future reference for others, there are two rental agencies inside Union Station. Budget is one of them. I don't remember what the second one is, but my subconscious seems to remember it being Hertz.
My trip to SAN was awesome! Gorgeous train ride.
