San Jose - Audi Stevens Creek

CAR RENTALS

San Jose is often regarded as the capital of Silicon Valley – so much so that you can visit the original headquarters of Apple, Google, and Hewlett Packard (spoiler alert: they’re all garages). Apple’s current day headquarters are just a few minutes west of Audi Stevens Creek.

If you’re looking to spend some time outside, you’re in luck as the San Jose area is surrounded by numerous parks just a short drive away. Go take a look up at, and be amazed by, the 300 foot tall redwoods trees at Big Basin Redwoods State Park – or go hiking at Almaden Quicksilver County Park, which used to be the world’s second largest mercury mine.

Make sure to check out a San Jose Sharks game, the Bay Area’s NHL team, at the SAP Center – or as Shark fans call it, “The Shark Tank.” You can also watch the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in nearby Santa Clara, about a 15 minute drive north of Audi Stevens Creek. If you prefer soccer to football, you can watch the San Jose Earthquakes compete in the MLS at Earthquakes Stadium. And with Stanford University and San Jose State University in the area, San Jose has a lot to offer in terms of the college sports as well.

If you want to explore the rest of the bay area farther up north, you’ll need wheels to get you there. So make sure to reserve a Silvercar – all of which offer free GPS to help get you to San Francisco, Oakland, or wherever your travels take you.
