The cost of renting a car per day is estimated at $75 per day, and the total travel time for the entire itinerary is approximately 9 hours.
If you have more time, consider visiting more beaches and coastal towns like La Jolla or Coronado Island. If you have less time, consider removing the shopping day, which is more suitable for longer trips. Note that some of the attractions require advanced booking, so research and plan accordingly.
