SJC AIRPORT ARRIVAL BRIEF San José Mineta International Airport · San José Dated research, not live availability. No specific hotel, event or onward route is verified by this brief. Waymo Airport: Airport service confirmed. Checked: 2026-09-14. City eligibility: Open to the public. Checked: 2026-08-16. Booking channel: Waymo app. City qualification: Part of Waymo’s public San Francisco Bay Area service. Pickup: Terminal A — pickups at Stop 9 Drop-off: Terminal A — dropoffs curbside at Departures Pickup: Terminal B — pickups outside the Rental Car Center; the airport authority lists Waymo at Ground Transportation Island Stop 7 Drop-off: Terminal B — dropoffs curbside at Departures Previously recorded as conflicting: Waymo listed Terminal A as Bus Stop 8 while the airport authority listed Stop 9. Both sources were re-read on 2026-08-17 and now agree on Stop 9. For Terminal B the two describe the same area differently — Waymo says outside the Rental Car Center, the airport lists Ground Transportation Island Stop 7 — so both wordings are carried.

Checked: 2026-08-17. City eligibility: Public, safety operator aboard. Checked: 2026-08-17. City qualification: Tesla reports Bay Area ride-hailing with an active safety driver. Checked 2026-08-17: Tesla holds no California autonomous-vehicle passenger-service permit of any class, so the safety driver is not incidental — it is what the service is. Pickup: Terminal A — Arrivals Ground Transportation Island, Stop 1 Pickup: Terminal B — Ground Transportation Island, Stop 8 Drop-off: Both terminals — departures curb Tesla describes its Bay Area service as supervised; a safety driver is aboard. Re-verified on 2026-08-17: the airport authority still lists Tesla at Terminal A Stop 1 and Terminal B Stop 8, with dropoffs at both departures curbs. Tesla’s own rider support pages could not be read (they refuse automated requests), so this record rests on the airport authority plus Tesla’s filing rather than on an operator help page.

Official observation: The airport assigns Waymo Stop 9 at Terminal A and Stop 7 at Terminal B; Tesla uses Stop 1 at A and Stop 8 at B. EVSeason planning advice: Match all three details: terminal, operator and stop. A general rideshare sign does not identify your particular meeting point. Source reviewed 2026-09-15: https://www.flysanjose.com/app-based-rideshares Can I reuse my departure drop-off as my arrival pickup? Official observation: SJC permits rideshare drop-offs at both departures curbs, while pickups use operator-specific stops. EVSeason planning advice: Save separate arrival and departure instructions. Do not reverse a drop-off route and assume it leads to your pickup.

Have a conventional transport fallback. Do not walk to an unconfirmed curb. Independent research by EV Season; not affiliated with the listed operators. Sources may change after the dates shown.
