Arizona → California · Interstate 10
What does it actually cost to drive from Phoenix, Arizona, to San Diego, California? The hard numbers: 567 km (352 miles) of pavement primarily along Interstate 10, 5h 24m behind the wheel, and roughly $47.38 in fuel alone — that is 51.5 liters (13.6 gallons) of regular unleaded at a 0.92 USD/liter benchmark. Anyone leaving Phoenix, the fifth-largest US city and capital of Arizona, typically carries samples, signed proposals, or service equipment to deliver in San Diego, the southern California port city on the Mexican border, and aims to be home the same evening. It is worth confirming whether the haul fits inside your daily hours-of-service window or whether an overnight at a midpoint hotel makes more sense. Applying the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) mileage rate of $0.43/km ($0.69/mile), the gross outbound reimbursement settles at $243.81. Attach the visit purpose, client name, and plate number to the Clara receipt so the journal entry lands directly in the business-travel expense account.
