San Jose International (SJC) Airport Transfer
Chauffeured transfers for the South Bay, Peninsula, and San Francisco. From $175 South Bay, $215 SF, $245 Marin.
The South Bay airport.
SJC is the smaller, faster Bay Area airport. Two terminals (Terminal A and Terminal B), centrally located in San Jose with quick freeway access via the 101, 880, and 87. From the tech corridor (Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto), SJC is the obvious choice; the drive is under 25 minutes. From SF or Marin, SJC only makes sense if your airline only operates from there or your itinerary specifically routes through.
Carriers at SJC: Southwest (the dominant carrier), Alaska, American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Spirit, Hainan, Air Canada, ANA, and a few international carriers. The terminal walks are short. TSA lines are typically shorter than SFO. For tech corporate clients with Sand Hill Road or South Bay offices, SJC is often the better airport.
