The fast way down 101 will take about 2.5 hours. The more scenic route down the coast will take more than 5 hours plus stops.
Assuming you want the faster route -- couldn't be more straight forward. Just follow the signs to 101 South (about 1/2 a mile) and get off 101 160 miles later in Paso Robles.

We always rent from Alamo (go through Costco if you're a member) in San Jose. If you arrive at Terminal A, you take a shuttle to the car rental counter. If you arrive at Terminal B (where we have always arrived), you simply walk to the counter across from baggage claim. SJC is a super "easy" airport to navigate.
Agree with janisj, just hop on the 101 and head south. Easy drive that shouldn't take longer than 2.5 hours. If you want to stop somewhere nice for lunch, I suggest downtown Morgan Hill, about a half hour south of the airport.
If you have any questions about Paso, I would be happy to help!

We did this route recently and stopped in downtown Salinas, stumbling upon Great Awakenings, a breakfast place that was good. http://www.firstawakenings.net/locations.html
The Steinbeck House in Salinas serves lunch and there is a museum, in case you are a literary history aficionado.
