Ride Share Apps
Uber and Lyft are two popular rideshare apps that have many drivers available in the Palo Alto area. By setting accounts with both services will ensure that you have maximum ride opportunities.
**Please be sure to download and setup an account with either Uber® or Lyft® prior to your arrival at the airport. You will be able to use the airport WIFI to order your rideshare as well as from the Coronet Motel WIFI during your stay.
Taxi
From the airports:
From the airports it is rather easy to find a taxi to deliver you to Palo Alto as the taxi cabs mostly wait at the airport for travelers.
Within Palo Alto and nearby cities:
Palo Alto and surrounding cities are located between San Jose and San Francisco airports which means that most of the cabs are at the airports waiting for international fares who did not download a ride share apps onto their smartphones prior to arrival. This means that when you request a taxi in Palo Alto it can take up to an hour to get service and a lot of time the taxi drivers cancel the pick-up for various reasons resulting in a second taxi request required. The taxi service is not always reliably available in Palo Alto due to the ride share market.
