SJC Inter-terminal Shuttles Intra-terminal shuttles provide free connections between terminals as well as to parking and rental car facilities. Inter-Terminal Shuttles - Courtesy shuttles make a continuous loop of Terminal A, Terminal C, and the parking lots. A new shuttle departs at each designated stopping point about every 10 minutes, 24/7.
To/From Long-Term Parking to Terminals:
From the Orange parking lot, board the shuttle at the nearest booth. The shuttle first stops at Terminal A and then proceeds next to Terminal C.
To return to the Orange lot, board the shuttle outside baggage claim at either terminal. Inter-terminal shuttles are available in front of each terminal at a marked location. The shuttles will transport passengers between Terminal A and Terminal C, 24/7.
Shuttle van/limo Tipping Etiquette:
Shared ride shuttles: if you’re taking bags and the driver helps you loading/unloading them, its appropriate to give the driver a few bucks for his/her efforts.
Sedans/limos: the most appropriate form of tipping is a percentage of the fare, usually around 15%. Drivers derive much of their income from tips and usually deserve a gratuity if their service was satisfactory.
