The Infrequent Operator Program is intended for companies that do not operate regularly at the airport. The Infrequent Operator Program also serves for those permitted companies that wish to use a vehicle that does not have an SJC AVI tag.
All ground transportation vehicles operating at the airport without an Airport permit must obtain in advance a temporary, Infrequent Operator Permit (IOP) for each vehicle. PLEASE NOTE: Infrequent Operator permits must be obtained by the company. The company must meet all of the Airport requirements listed below. Individual drivers may not obtain Infrequent Operator permits.
Each IOP is valid for the single date chosen at the time of purchase. IOP fees are non-refundable, even in the event of a trip cancellation. The e-mailed receipt is the proof of purchase and must be provided to the driver of the vehicle to show Airport staff if requested.
Designated pick-up locations (Locations in Parking Lots 2 & 5 require payment of parking fees)
If you have additional questions regarding pick-up locations, please make contact with a Curbside Traffic Control Officer and they will be able to further assist you.
