San Jose Airport Transportation Service

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!  For groups of three or less, we pick you up in one of our luxurious, late-model Town Cars with all of the plush amenities you deserve – leather seats, ample seat and leg room, complimentary sodas and beverages, climate controlled to your liking, and a ride so smooth you will wonder if you’re really moving.  Plus, entering and exiting is S-O-O EASY!

AAA Transportation provides so much more than comfort and luxury … WE SAVE YOU MONEY!  Our packages are very competitive, and our service is SECOND-TO-NONE.  The trip for your group will only cost approximately $89.00 plus gratuity.

If your group numbers more than four people, we have first-rate limousines that escort you to your destination in high-style, ultra-comfort, and money-saving rates.  We take great pride in providing A-1 transportation services in all forms.

Make your transportation reservations with our experienced staff NOW by calling 1-866- 558-0222 or online at www.aaa-trans.com.

Ground transportation service to/from Oakland Airport

Oakland International Airport - Ground Transportation

You and some of your friends or business clients have just arrived at the Oakland International Airport.  Excitement sweeps between you as you anticipate new adventures in an area where you’ve never been before.  You’ve done some research and discovered that the airport sits close to the glistening San Francisco Bay, and serves nine surrounding counties.  For this trip, everyone has voted to visit the Tri-Valley area because of the area’s unspoiled, authentic beauty and the MULTITUDE of activities appealing to everyone, such as:

• Quaint wineries, wine tours, and food/wine tastings
• First-class golf courses scattered around
• Historic downtowns – each with a unique story
• Grand hotels and spas
• Delicious cuisine California style
• Year-round events, concerts, and theatre productions
• Business meetings, conference centers.

All you have to do is get there!  So, what’s the best way to reach the Tri-Valley area?  The airport has several options:

1. Public transportation in the form of Amtrak, bus, or transit is economical, but doesn’t take you to the Tri-Valley hotel with which you have reservations.  Besides the crowds and numerous stops, you’ll still have to find additional transportation to your hotel.
2. Rental cars seem like a good option … until you begin to investigate.  After picking up your luggage, you’ll hop aboard a shuttle to the Rental Car Center about 10 minutes away.  Then, you’ll board another shuttle that carries you to the rental counters.   Oh No! The counters are closed!  Even though the Center is open 24 hours, the rental agencies are not.  If you had only realized the need to make your flight arrangements to arrive at the airport in time to get to the rental counters before closing!
3. Aha! Here’s the PERFECT answer … limousine company service!  AAA Transportation understands your dilemma … you have a lot of fun to pack into your short vacation and you want to get to your hotel, unpack, and UNWIND!

AAA Transportation is YOUR SOLUTION:

1. We have served the Tri-Valley and Bay Area since 2001 – satisfying over 1.4 million individual and business customers.
2. We offer very competitive rates and packages.
3. We conveniently meet you at the airport and drop you off at your hotel’s doorstep, then whisk you straight from the hotel back to Oakland Airport.
4. Our rates make it easy for us to help YOU make the most of your vacation by carrying you to some of the most memorable spots in town.  No need on your part for cumbersome maps, wrong turns, getting lost, or being late!
5. Our limousines, sedans, and taxis are all sleek, late-model vehicles … with some of them hybrid.  Luxury interiors are guaranteed to pamper and delight you.

Even if you have another area in mind, AAA Transportation serves them all:

• Oakland
• San Francisco

• San Jose

• Napa Valley
• Berkeley

Hybrid Prius Sedans – Elegant and “GREEN”

AAA Transportation is proud of our efforts to keep Mother Earth “GREEN” and beautiful.  For several years we have included the classy Toyota Prius hybrid (gas-electric) sedan in our fleet of modern, sleek vehicles.  We would like to help you become more familiar with one of the main operating components of the Prius – the battery – to better understand how our hybrids give you the BEST is luxury transportation while also helping the environment.

For many decades, vehicle batteries have contained lead and hydrochloric acid – both of which are highly poisonous substances.  When these batteries reach the end of their usefulness, their disposal becomes the “tricky task” of keeping these caustic materials from leaching into our drinking water, food chain, and surrounding environment.  However, new technology in vehicle batteries is producing new horizons.

The emerging hybrid-electric vehicle market is producing promising results with the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery.  The advantages of this type of battery are:

• Excellent performance
• Long life
• Reliability
• High energy
• Low cost of ownership

How are NiMH batteries made?

Like former batteries, NiMH batteries consist of two electrodes – one positive and one negative.  The positive electrode uses nickel-hydroxide for the cathode, while the negative electrode uses metal hydride for the anode.  A polymer separates the electrodes to prevent shorting.  A potassium hydroxide mixture with a small amount of water forms the electrolyte within the battery cell.  The cell is then sealed and electrically charged to form a 1.2v electrochemical couple.  Individual cells can then be joined in series to produce batteries in various voltage ranges, with 12 volts being the typical arrangement.

What is the Life Span of these “greener” batteries?

Battery life spans are evaluated in terms of complete discharge cycles.  For example, a standard all electric-vehicle battery can be charged and discharged 1,000 times.  This is equivalent to more than 100,000 miles.  However, in hybrid gas-electric vehicles, the battery is never fully charged or discharged.  Instead, these batteries are cycled in shallow discharges hundreds of thousands of times.  This partial charge/discharge operation enables the NiMH battery to last more than 200,000 miles.

What happens when the NiMH batteries eventually lose usefulness?

These environmental friendly batteries are 100-percent recyclable.  AND … because they contain no toxic materials, they are the only rechargeable battery that can be legally disposed of in a landfill.  However, we understand that simply dumping them into a landfill doesn’t make either economically or environmentally sound sense.  The obvious solution is recycling, which most hybrid vehicle manufacturers make available.

AAA Transportation is serious about keeping our planet “GREEN”.  Our eco-friendly hybrid sedans provide businesses and individuals alike with luxurious transportation while reducing our carbon footprint.  With excellence as our standard, you are guaranteed complete satisfaction.  Make your reservations TODAY either online or by calling 866-558-0222.
