Taxis are plentiful in San Jose and it is recommended that you use them, especially at night, because the city can be very dangerous. There are certain situations that you need to avoid though. First, never take the taxis that are waiting in front of hotels. They automatically charge you extra because they are "hotel taxis" and it doesn't matter where you are going, if you are a guest at the hotel, or whatever. Second, always ask the driver to turn on the meter. There is a law that says that he must use it but many try to get around this. At the end of your ride they will look at you and arbitrarily name a price. If the taxi driver refuses to use the meter or says that it is not working tell him where you are going and demand that he set a price before the ride starts. Try to remember what you pay to go certain distances and be willing to argue for your money. I once had a driver take me a short distance and ask for a ridiculous price. I told him what the ride should cost and that I wasn't going to pay a penny more. I handed him the money, got out of the cab, and he took it with a frown. He knew that he was wrong and that was the end of it. Many cab drivers will offer to give you their cellphone number and be available to take you wherever you need to go for a certain price. I think that this might be a good option (if you can find a driver that you trust) for non-Spanish speakers. Just remember to tip him well for any extra info or service that he provides.
