Marker position scaled to driving distance from Los Gatos.
Netflix moved its headquarters to Los Gatos in 1999, trading a Silicon Valley commute for a quieter foothill town at the edge of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Roku was born inside Netflix's own offices before spinning out to nearby Saratoga, and Plex later opened downtown to catch the overflow — three streaming companies with roots in one small town.
That contrast is the town's character in a sentence: a global tech address that still feels like a small mountain community, with executives known to hold meetings walking the Los Gatos Creek Trail instead of in a conference room. It's also why airport trips from here look different than most Silicon Valley pickups — SJC is close enough to feel local, while SFO and OAK are a genuine drive over the hill and around the Bay.
Highway 17 climbs out of town toward the Santa Cruz Mountains and Lexington Reservoir in one direction, while Los Gatos Boulevard and Highway 85 connect north toward San Jose and the rest of Silicon Valley in the other. That's the same route that gets you to SJC in under twenty minutes — the reservoir and mountain views are a scenic backdrop, not a detour.
Being a small town squeezed between two mountain highways means Los Gatos doesn't always get dedicated airport service — we built ours specifically to cover it.

A small town with an outsized tech footprint means a wide mix of reasons to book — here's who we see most.
Streaming and tech executives with a same-day SJC hop, downtown restaurant and wine-tasting guests without a rental car, families in the foothill neighborhoods, and hiking or Creek Trail visitors extending a Bay Area trip all end up booking the same way: one flat rate, a chauffeur who knows Highway 17, and a pickup time that adjusts if a flight changes.
Tech & streaming executives
Quick SJC hops for same-day meetings and travel between offices.
Downtown visitors
Hotel and wine-country guests who'd rather not rent a car for a short stay.
Foothill families
One vehicle for the whole household instead of parking two cars at the airport.
Corporate & group travel
Party buses and charters for teams flying out of the same terminal together.
