SJC Avis Late Pick Up
My AA flight will arrive at 10:28pm, will I have enough time to pick up the vehicle? SJC avis open until 12:00am, if flight delayed, what should I do? How about SFO avis, is it 24 hours? Thank you for your advice.

I can't speak specifically for SJC, but if you have your flight # on your reservation, they are supposed to wait for your flight before closing. Not 100% fool-proof, but I've had them wait for me when this happens (I've also been left at a site without an employee and having to Uber to the hotel or walk to another agency). If you're not delayed, should be no problem getting the car before closure. And SFO is 24 hours according to Avis.com.

AA is notorious about being late. Also, AA is not in terminal B, which is right across from the rental car center. So you cannot just get out and walk over. You have to wait for your luggage and then take a shuttle. If you flew into the other terminal you could potentially walk over even before your baggage arrived and get a car, and then go back and get your luggage.
