Try Alamo or Thrify, who are quoting about $250/wk with no drop charge
for a small car from SAN to SJC.

One-way within California usually isn't too expensive, but those two
seem cheapest at the moment.

I used Budget for a 1 way rental....using my Costco discount. From
Fresno-San Diego, I paid $36 for a 1 day 1 way rental for a Chev Cobalt. I
also did the same thing this past March in Florida....rented in Tampa and
droped off in Jacksonville using AVIS....a 3 day rental totalled $106 for a
Chrysler Sebring.

How was this suggestion helpful?

While "polling" the majors and minors with locations in your rental and drop
off locales is a good way to start, and making a reservation recommended,
the best deals I've ever made on "one ways" was after quick surveys of the
sirport rental agencies, often "holding" a car from the city you want to
drive to or one near it, and willing to waive drop fees or even make a "good
deal", better for them than the eventual hiring a driver to return the car.

That's especially true for agencies at major airports served by commuter air
from smaller cities, where cancelled flights bring folks driving up in out
of town rentals, their company expense accounts willing to accept big drop
charges. Of course , the opposite is true, with the classic CNX of the
night's last flight from the big city to the little burg, and home bound
travelers queuing up for rentals. It's worked for me several times at DFW,
while in Florida, the volume of one ways is so high, most companies used to
charge no drop fees, and there were always deals to be made returning cars
from JAX or Tampa to MCO.
