Need Help From Someone Who Is Commuting, Baja To San Diego

Can't Post |

I have Several questions to ask someone who is CURRENTLY commuting from Baja Norte to San Diego on a daily basis for work.1.) Can you go back and forth everyday with a car registered and licensed
in California ?
2.) What permits or fees are associated with this ? (if possible at all)
3.) How long would it take to go from Rosarito Beach to Downtown San Diego
at about 6am ?
4.) Returning at 6pm ? (Mon.-Thur on both #3 and #4)( I will apply for
Sentri Pass, but need times until I get it.)
5.) My Business is in Classic Cars and Transportation, Will it be safe
driving from Rosarito Beach to San Diego and back in a Classic Car ?
(for instance 1964 Cadillac Conv.)
6.) My wife would like to know if she can bring her house plants across
the border with us when we move ?Any help will be appreciated 78ford@jcn.net

: the border with us when we move ?: Any help will be appreciated 78ford@jcn.netI drive from Rosarito to Claremont everyday (M-F). Now since school has started again traffic on the san diego side is terrible. I have to leave my house by 5:50 a.m i cross the border by 7:10 and get to work by 8. It gets better in the next few weeks and months. The sentri pass is well worth the money. Saves you the time of sitting at the border, which could be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and 20 minutes... Sarina

: I have Several questions to ask someone who is CURRENTLY commuting from Baja Norte to San Diego on a daily basis for work.I did that commute for 3 years, but have stopped, as of June 23rd!: 1.) Can you go back and forth everyday with a car registered and licensed
: in California ? Sure, no problem, just make sure it is insured (although they never ask).: 2.) What permits or fees are associated with this ? (if possible at all) No fees that I'm aware of, I never paid any!: 3.) How long would it take to go from Rosarito Beach to Downtown San Diego
: at about 6am ? Rosarito is about 20 mins. to the border, I usually got in line about 6am, and the wait would vary from 40 min. to an hour an a half. US traffic at that time is pretty non-existent.
You would probably need to be in the border line about 5am, to be safe, but you never know! (maybe 20 min., maybe an hour): 4.) Returning at 6pm ? (Mon.-Thur on both #3 and #4)( I will apply for
: Sentri Pass, but need times until I get it.) The return at that time can also get long, maybe 1/2 an hour or so to cross into MX., maybe not (the whole border thing here is very iffy. I crossed to US from TJ last night about 8pm and waited an hour. I thought it would be less time, mid-week and late, but you never know): 5.) My Business is in Classic Cars and Transportation, Will it be safe
: driving from Rosarito Beach to San Diego and back in a Classic Car ?
: (for instance 1964 Cadillac Conv.) The route you will take is almost like being on a US freeway, but who knows if you'll be safe or not! : 6.) My wife would like to know if she can bring her house plants across
: the border with us when we move ? I brought plants down with me, but I'm worried about bringing them back North! Who knows!: Any help will be appreciated 78ford@jcn.netGood luck, H.
