Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is the most common destination if you're heading into San Jose. The airport is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the global center of technology innovation in the United States. The airport is close to technology powers such as Google, Apple Computer, Cisco, Intel, Adobe, eBay, and Hewlett Packard.

The airport is also close to downtown, offering easy access via your rental car to the entire city. However, other airports such as San Francisco International (35 miles northwest) and Oakland International (35 miles north), are also possibilities if San Jose is your destination. No matter which one you land at, the area's freeway system and the car rental that you book with VroomVroomVroom will take you wherever you want to go!

At San Jose International Airport, car rental customers at Terminal A should take one of the blue Airport-operated shuttles to the Rental Car Center. Terminal B arrivals can use the crosswalk to traverse Airport Drive to get to the R.C.C.

On-site companies include Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Fox, Hertz, National, Payless and Thrifty. However, because many of the companies are not open 24 hours, the airport recommends that you confirm your car rental agency's hours, to avoid having to wait upon your arrival.

San Jose is both the largest city in Northern California and the tenth-largest city in the United States. San Jose was founded in 1777 as part of the Spanish colony that would become Alta California. A farming community that supported the Spanish military bases at Monterey and San Francisco, San Jose was the first capital city of California once it joined the United States. The rapid growth of the electronics and high-tech industry in the last half of the 20th century turned San Jose into an urban metropolis, now home to just under one million people. Its top 10 employers include Cisco Systems, IBM, eBay and Hitachi.

With over 300 days of sunshine and average daily high temperatures of 73 degrees Fahrenheit, San Jose is surrounded on three sides by mountains and doesn't front the ocean (like nearby San Francisco), meaning less precipitation and less fog.
