San Jose airport transportation - limousine, taxi service
You’ve worked with a large corporation headquartered near Pleasanton, California, for six months. The long-awaited time has come to close the deal that will insure a nice promotion for you and your team. You can’t afford any mistakes, and travel arrangements should be the least of your concerns. As you and your group step into the Mineta San Jose International Airport, the only thing on your mind is checking into the Hilton in Pleasanton for a restful night’s sleep. How hard could it be? The tough work won’t begin until tomorrow morning … tonight the world is “your oyster”.
You remember from a past visit to the airport that there are quite a few door-to-door shuttles that don’t require reservations. You don’t even need to know the company names because the vans simply wait in line at the loading point and rotate to pick up passengers. After your team has picked up their luggage, you head for the shuttle area. As you round a corner, horror fills your face. Apparently, everyone else thought the same thing you did. There’s a L-O-N-G line of people waiting for shuttles! Too bad the shuttles pick up on a “first come, first served” basis.
Groan … It’s going to be a L-O-N-G night!
OK … let’s suppose you did think ahead and make a reservation with one of the shuttle companies. As soon as all of you gather your luggage, you make a quick call and find the shuttle van waiting for you at the pickup point. You and three co-workers climb aboard for the ride to Pleasanton.
You’ll pay approximately $95.00 – $120.00 plus gratuity for this ride in the van. Remember vans? Those vehicles you have to step up to enter, then shuffle sideways bent over to get to a seat that’s behind the door, then scoot across the seat to make room for the rest of your party. Oh, dear! If only the group who used the van before you didn’t like garlic so much! Finally you’re at your hotel. Too bad you bumped your head as you shuffled sideways to exit. But don’t worry … the bump will be gone by the time you close the deal and take the shuttle back to the airport. Sigh!
THANK GOODNESS THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE! AAA Transportation has been serving clients at the San Jose International Airport since 2001. We believe rides to and from the airport should be the MOST COMFORTABLE part of your journey!

Radiant COLORS … arousing AROMAS… tingling TASTES… this is California wine country! Found in the Northern region of California, the gently rolling hills of wine country contain 400 wineries located just north of San Francisco. Wine-making and viticulture (the scientific study and production of grapes) began in California’s lush valleys in the mid-19th century. Currently, 90% of all America’s wine is now produced from the wineries snuggled within the nine valleys making up California’s wine country.
AAA Transportation serves two valleys – Livermore and Napa. Our tours through the winding lush fields of tender grapes dripping from the vines are relaxing, enchanted visits to numerous tasting rooms and wine/food pairings. Whether you are a new wine lover or a connoisseur, you will delight in every quaint winery visited, each with a personality unique to itself. Share the excitement with others as you talk the “special language” of wine lovers – swirl, sip, sensual, texture-driven, or flavor-driven. Experience a delectable selection of wines from several of the 40+ wineries in Livermore Valley, or pick from the hundreds nestled in Napa Valley. Either way, AAA Transportation promises an experience that seems to step right from the pages of a fairy tale.
Several events can be enjoyed throughout the year in either Livermore or Napa Valley. For instance, Livermore has an exciting wine tasting & food event coming up on Thursday, July 23, 2009, from 6PM-9 PM. Named “The Taste of Terroir”, you can indulge in 16 pairings of various wines and foods as AAA Transportation guides you effortlessly from one delight to another.
If wine tasting isn’t something that interests you, Livermore and Napa Valleys offer outstanding recreational activities through the year such as golf, shopping, antiques, artisan crafts, and fine dining to name a few.
Whatever your desires, AAA Transportation knows every acre and exquisite place to visit in wine country. Our 8-passenger luxury limousines with complimentary sodas and water promise 6-8 hours of pure pleasure.
