How pickup works

  1. When you book, online or on the phone, give us your flight number; we use it to track your flight into SJC.

  2. A text before pickup tells you who your chauffeur is, how to reach them and which car to look for.

  3. Decide where you meet: outside, where the car comes to the arrivals curb at your call or text, or inside at baggage claim with your name on a sign.

  4. Free waiting runs for 45 minutes from the moment you land.

Pickup at SJC Terminal A and Terminal B

San José Mineta International has 2 terminals, Terminal A and Terminal B. Your flight number is all we need to follow your flight into either one.

Whichever terminal your airline uses, you choose how to meet your chauffeur. Curbside, your chauffeur waits nearby and drives up to the arrivals curb after your call or text. With meet-and-greet, your chauffeur is inside at baggage claim with your name, and helps with your bags from the carousel. Meet-and-greet has a fee that varies, and your quote shows it before you confirm.

Arriving at SJC from another country

International flights at SJC clear customs at the airport's international arrivals facility. With meet-and-greet, your chauffeur waits with your name sign where passengers leave customs.

Visiting from abroad, with a colleague or a host booking the ride for you? Ask them to give us your mobile number. The text with your chauffeur's name, number and car then comes straight to you.

The 45 free minutes start at landing, just as they do after a domestic flight. Beyond that, waiting is charged as our Terms explain.

Early and late flights at SJC

Rides run 24/7, so a 5am departure or a midnight arrival is booked like any other. Online booking has no closing time, and our phone is answered from 7am to 9pm.

For a departure, you choose the pickup time and your chauffeur is waiting before it. You are dropped at Terminal A or Terminal B, with your bags unloaded for you.

Flying private into SJC

San Jose also handles private flights, at its own private terminals. At yours, your chauffeur meets you in the lobby, or at the aircraft where the airport permits; read more on private jet and FBO car service.

Straight into a day of meetings

Landing for meetings across Silicon Valley? Book your chauffeur by the hour from your arrival, and the car stays with you from the terminal to each office in Santa Clara, Mountain View or Palo Alto, then back to SJC for the evening flight.

Your luggage rides in the trunk between stops, so you can go from the last meeting to your hotel or the airport without a detour. Once the day is done, the receipt arrives by email, ready for your expenses.

Vehicles for your SJC pickup

Your chauffeur takes care of the luggage at both ends of the ride. A team landing together for meetings fits in an SUV for 6 or the Sprinter for 14.

SJC questions

Do you pick up at both SJC terminals?

Yes, Terminal A and Terminal B alike: at the arrivals curb when you call or text, or at baggage claim with a name sign.

Where do I meet my chauffeur after an international flight?

If you booked meet-and-greet, where passengers leave customs, with your name on a sign. Otherwise, call or text once you have your bags, and the car comes to the curb.

How long will my chauffeur wait at SJC?

45 minutes from landing, at no charge. With your flight number in the booking, that clock follows your real landing time.

What if my flight into SJC is delayed?

Your chauffeur adjusts. With your flight number, we follow the delay, and the 45 free minutes begin at your actual landing, not the time printed on your ticket.

Can I book a ride to SJC for an early flight?

Yes. Online booking is open 24/7 for pickups at least 2 hours away. With less time to spare, call us, and a car can still come for you as long as one is available.

Can you take me from SJC to San Francisco, SFO or OAK?

Yes. From SJC we drive across the Bay Area, including San Francisco, and to SFO or Oakland for a connecting flight.
