Drop-offs

As with other airports, passengers taking Uber or Lyft to the airport may be dropped off curbside in the area serving your airline.

UberX and Standard Lyft rides are recommended for 1 – 2 travelers. Your driver will take you directly from your home or work to the airport. If you’re traveling with a large group, please consider UberXL or Lyft Plus, which offers a high capacity vehicle with room for several bags.

UberPOOL and Lyft Line are not recommended for airport trips. With this type of van pool like service, the driver may need to stop 2 or 3 times to pick up and drop-off other passengers, which make cause un-expected delays. In addition, the vehicle may run out of luggage space with additional passengers. Avoid taking UberPOOL or Lyft Line to SJC.
