San Jose (California) → Santa Clara: key facts

Santa Clara from San Jose (California) Airport (SJC) by private transfer: $80 per car (1–3 people) or $120 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 3 km, roughly 10 min when traffic is light and 10–20 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver meets you after you collect your bags: in the baggage claim area of Terminal A, in front of the International Arrivals Building for international flights, or in Terminal B, where baggage claim is just past the ticketing lobbies. The driver holds a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Santa Clara borders the airport on its western side, so the city centre is only about 6 km away. The short drive follows De La Cruz Boulevard or Coleman Avenue south-west across the Caltrain tracks towards El Camino Real and the Santa Clara University campus; for the stadium and convention area in the north of the city, cars take Highway 101 or Montague Expressway towards Great America Parkway instead. On stadium event days the roads around Tasman Drive and Great America Parkway are closed or heavily congested.

Santa Clara is a separate city in the heart of Silicon Valley, home to many technology companies. Its historic core is the campus of Santa Clara University with Mission Santa Clara de Asís, next to the Caltrain station and the Franklin Street area. The northern part of the city, about 8 km away, has the Santa Clara Convention Center, Levi's Stadium and the California's Great America amusement park, surrounded by large hotels and office campuses along Tasman Drive. Most hotels have drop-off lanes at the entrance.

Public transport instead: VTA bus Route 60 (Airport Flyer), towards Winchester from VTA Route 60 stop at Terminal A (Stop 7) or Terminal B (Stop 5) to Santa Clara Transit Center (Caltrain station).
