OK I think this goes here, anyway how much dose it cost to get from the airport to the hotel? Its only like 4 miles so is $10 good for a cab? Also I will be getting in at7AM-8AM on Friday if some one would like to split the cab that would be cool with me.

*time for a story*
For fanime 2006, I flew in from Seattle to San Jose airport. This is where I met some random dude that was dressed up as a person from Kingdom hearts, I assumed this because of his key-blades he was carrying. He apparently seemed familiar with the surroundings so I proceeded to follow him to the shuttle pick-up and drop-off station. And then this is where I found out the guy didn't know what he was doing because there were no shuttles that went to either of our hotels. (I don't know about now though)
I paid $20 to take a cab. It actually came out to be $14 but I went ahead and let the cab driver keep the $6 because it seemed awkward as he was searching his all of his pockets for change. o.0 The dude I shared the cab with didn't pay for his share because he claimed to be a "poor otaku".
There is a possibility for rates to have gone up.

This info on the San Jose City website may be useful to you: http://www.sjc.org/travelers/taxi.html
Look at the estimated charges at the bottom of the page and always carry a combination of $10s, $5s and $1s that total up to $40. I'm assuming that your measurement of 4 miles is line-of-sight... Cabs almost never travel a line-of-sight path.
wow, thank you for the info.

No trouble at all. San Jose natives are supposed to help visitors.
Safe trip here, have fun and have a safe return home with many memories ;D
