Just to update on Spothero parking at 2025 Gateway:
Positives:
- Plenty of spaces, no need to endlessly circle a garage or lot
- Walking distance from SJC, no wait for shuttle. Sidewalks in good condition.
- Cheap!
Negatives:
- Even at a good clip, it was a 10 minute hike to Term A - no fun in inclement weather or high temps. Homeless camped under overpass along route
- May have uncertain wait time if you need rideshare
- No visible parking lot security
- Airport parking area umarked in lot (maybe on purpose to deter crime?)
Practice tip: you can shave a couple minutes off the walk to terminal by cutting across the parking lot next door.
