On March 16, 1993, the City Council adopted the San José International Airport Commercial Ground Transportation Program requiring all commercial ground transportation providers to obtain a permit prior to providing services at the Airport. In conjunction with the above, all commercial ground transportation providers operating at the Airport from April 16, 1993 forward are subject to fees (listed above) established within the program. Companies operating without the necessary permits are subject to citations, fines and other corrective action.
On Demand Program
Drivers wishing to participate in the SJC On Demand Program are required to submit a signed On Demand Driver Agreement. The driver must be affiliated with an Airport-permitted On Demand operator. On Demand operators may contact the Airport Ground Transportation Office with questions:

Update Company Information
If your company contact information has changed, please submit your updated information here.
Please note that the permit is not transferrable. If ownership of the company changes, the new owner must obtain a new permit prior to operating at the airport. Similarly, if the corporate status of the company changes, (e.g. by becoming an LLC, Corporation, etc.) the existing permit will become void and a new permit must be obtained.
