SJC Arrival FAQ — Driver Pickup & Flight Tracking

Real answers to what passengers ask while finding their driver at SJC.

Where do I meet my Airport Commuter driver at SJC?

SJC does not allow curbside limo pickup, so every SJC arrival is handled as an inside meet-and-greet — and the SJC meet-and-greet fee is 50% off. Your chauffeur meets you in baggage claim holding a placard with your name, then walks you to the vehicle in the airport's designated limo area: the first floor of Hourly Lot 2 (the Terminal A Garage) if you land at Terminal A (American, Delta, United, Frontier, Volaris), or Hourly Lot 5 if you land at Terminal B (Southwest, Alaska, Hawaiian, ZIPAIR). International arrivals are met at Stop 3 on the south-east side of Hourly Lot 2. We confirm the meet-point via text the day of your arrival.

How will my driver know when my SJC flight arrives?

Our dispatch system tracks every booked flight in real time via FAA data. The moment your SJC flight is delayed, early, diverted, or lands, your chauffeur sees the update. SJC has strong American/Alaska/Delta/JSX/Hawaiian schedules — we have decades of experience with these carriers' on-time patterns. No need to call us when you land.

What if my SJC flight is delayed?

Zero charge for tracked delays. We track every booked flight. If your inbound flight is delayed 30 minutes or 3 hours, your chauffeur is automatically re-routed and waits. No need to call. Even if your flight diverts to SFO or OAK, we can re-route the chauffeur to your actual arrival airport.

Why fly into SJC vs SFO or OAK?

SJC is the closest Bay Area airport to Silicon Valley (Apple Park, Google, Stanford, Sand Hill Road), Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, and Big Sur. If your destination is south of San Francisco, SJC typically saves 30-45 minutes vs SFO or OAK. SJC also has fewer TSA crowds, easier ground-transport access, and growing direct flight inventory (American, Alaska, JSX semi-charter, Delta, Hawaiian). For Silicon Valley executives the SJC home airport is the default.

How do I find the SJC limo pickup zone?

SJC's limo pickup zones are inside the hourly parking structures, not on the arrivals curb — the airport does not permit curbside limo pickup. Terminal A pickup is on the first floor of Hourly Lot 2 (the Terminal A Garage), outside baggage claim. Terminal B pickup is in Hourly Lot 5, outside baggage claim. International arrivals use Stop 3 on the south-east side of Hourly Lot 2. You do not need to find it yourself: because every SJC arrival is an inside meet-and-greet, your chauffeur comes to baggage claim and walks you out to the vehicle. SJC's compact footprint keeps that walk short.

Do you handle SJC private aviation (Atlantic, Signature)?

Yes. SJC handles substantial private aviation traffic at Atlantic Aviation (east side of the field) and Signature Flight Support (west side). We coordinate plane-side FBO pickup, custom transfer time to your destination (downtown SF, Silicon Valley HQs, Carmel Valley, Napa Valley), and overnight chauffeur retainer arrangements for clients flying private. Common itinerary: SJC FBO arrival + Apple Park / Stanford meeting + transfer to Yountville or Carmel Valley for the evening.

What if I miss my driver or can't find them at SJC?

Call our 24/7 dispatch immediately at +1-650-876-1777. We will text you the chauffeur's direct contact information and current location. Your chauffeur also has your phone number and is monitoring for your messages. We have never had a guest stranded at SJC in 40 years of dispatch.

Where is SJC Terminal A pickup?

SJC Terminal A serves American, Delta, United, Frontier, and Volaris. Because SJC does not allow curbside limo pickup, Terminal A pickup happens in the airport's designated limo area on the first floor of Hourly Lot 2 — the Terminal A Garage — directly outside baggage claim. Your Airport Commuter chauffeur meets you inside Terminal A baggage claim with a name placard and walks you out to the vehicle, so you never have to locate the garage yourself. International arrivals are met at Stop 3 on the south-east side of that same garage. We text you the exact Terminal A pickup spot before you land.

Where is SJC Terminal B pickup?

SJC Terminal B serves Southwest, Alaska, Hawaiian, and ZIPAIR. Because SJC does not allow curbside limo pickup, Terminal B pickup happens in the airport's designated limo area in Hourly Lot 5, directly outside Terminal B baggage claim. Your Airport Commuter chauffeur meets you inside Terminal B baggage claim with a name placard and walks you out to the vehicle. We text you the exact Terminal B pickup spot before you land. Terminal A and Terminal B are connected by a short walk if your plans change.
