Probably the easiest option is to take one of the shuttles (if you don't want to rent a car). There are a couple to choose from and all are located at the the 'departures' level (up one level from baggage claim). It'll cost about $35+tip. There's no way of knowing how many stops, but it's usually not too bad. Also, you don't have to lug your bags through 3 different systems (which is what you'd have to do if you use Caltrain). - No need to prebook, just show up and ask the assistant at the curb.

But, if you want to use Caltrain... you have to take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to the Burlingame station and switch to Caltrain then from the Santa Clara station switch again to a bus service (VTA - Valley Transit Authority) .... I believe each of them is a completely different system and requires seperate fares.

In mo I'd take the shuttle. I live in the Bay Area and whenever we go to either airport, that's what we usually do since the other options seem disjointed and poorly executed.

Good luck whichever you choose.
