San Diego boasts among the lowest prices in car rentals in the country, making it easy for travelers to cross the bridge and head on over.

Coronado already thrives on tourism, being neatly tucked between a bay and the sea. It has a historic resort and fun events scheduled throughout the year.

It's also part of a region – according to a survey by CheapCarRental.net, cited by the San Diego Daily Transcript – that can boast of being on a list of U.S. destinations with the cheapest prices for car rentals.

According to the report, it costs an average of $31 a day to rent a car in greater San Diego, tying Seattle in the ranking of 50 cities.
