Our Daily Schedule (Austin)
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Fort Worth and Dallas, or right on time at Dallas Fort Worth. You pick the time we pick you up. Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged. Heading there from New Braunfels? See our New Braunfels to Austin shuttle page for direct service.
What is my pickup time at DFW?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 mins after for international flights. If you don't have bags, you can schedule your pickup time for 15 mins after you land, or 30 mins for international flights with no bags. Heading there from Austin? See our van shuttle service in Texas page for direct service.
What happens if my flight is delayed in Dallas?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights at DFW, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights. Please let us know as soon as possible if your flight number changes. You can always text us if there is a delay. This is helpful since airlines don't always update things online when they are late. Heading there from Austin? See our Austin to DFW shuttle page for flat-rate service details and online booking.
Need a different leg of the trip? Our Austin To Killeen Shuttle page covers schedules, fares and door-to-door pickup. Need a different leg of the trip? Our Austin To Temple Shuttle page covers schedules, fares and door-to-door pickup.What happens if my flight in Dallas arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at Dallas Fort Worth, and we will let your shuttle driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation. If it's hot outside, please wait inside the DFW terminal closest to prearranged until your car or airport shuttle is a minute or so away. Headed to the capital city? The Austin airport shuttle hub covers door-to-door shuttle service across Austin and both area airports.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Austin Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible so a shuttle driver is available and prevent any delays with picking you up. There's no need to confirm again if you've already made a reservation, and received a confirmation email.
How long does it take from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas?
Texas Shuttle trips from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas in normal traffic are about an hour and forty minutes versus three and a half hours on the bus with a bunch of people. Rush hour in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average). You might think there's no way a bus or another shared ride shuttle company in Dallas or Fort Worth Shuttle would take that long, but they stop and wait 3-5 times to pickup people. Buses and other shuttles also don't leave on your schedule, so you might wait 30 mins - 1.5 hours if the bus is running late. With us it's just you going straight to Fort Worth or Dallas, normally non-stop in a nicer vehicle or shuttle.
What time should I be picked up?
The drive to Fort Worth is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. 3 hours and 30 minutes before your flight is normally enough time if you're going to DFW. Dallas Fort Worth recommends you be there 2 hours early to get through security and find your gate. Boarding in Dallas usually starts 30 mins before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty mins is generally okay. Dallas and Fort Worth Shuttle driving takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good. You start running the risk that they will give your seat away in Dallas about 40 mins before your flight takes off. Sometimes a little extra time is good and makes your trip to Fort Worth stress free by adjusting for the unexpected.
Private, non-stop and door to door, 24/7 — every driver passes a nationwide fingerprint background check, and date or time changes are always free if your flight moves. Questions? Call (817) 403-6196.

Austin Shuttle: The Complete 2026 Guide to Airport and Intercity Service
An Austin shuttle is the pre-booked, flat-rate way to connect Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) with downtown hotels and the rest of Central Texas — without watching a rideshare fare climb during a festival weekend. Because rides are reserved in advance at an upfront, all-inclusive price, you know exactly what your trip costs before you ever reach the curb. This guide explains how airport pickup works, how the options compare, how pricing works, and how Austin shuttles link the city with San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. Updated for the 2026 travel season.
Who operates what matters here. In Austin, SuperShuttle service is provided by Carter Transportation, a women-owned, locally operated company that has served the Austin area since 1999, according to supershuttle.com; SuperShuttle and its sedan/SUV brand ExecuCar serve 85-plus airport locations worldwide. On longer routes, operators such as Shutto (shutto.us) run 12-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans between Texas cities.
How Do I Get From Austin Airport to Downtown Austin?
Downtown Austin sits about 5 miles northwest of AUS, and the drive typically takes 15–25 minutes depending on traffic on State Highway 71 and I-35. It's a short hop — exit the Barbara Jordan Terminal onto SH-71, then follow signs toward I-35 and the Colorado River — but that short distance slows down fast during SXSW in March, ACL Fest weekends at Zilker Park, and UT football Saturdays.
From the arrivals level, you have five realistic options:
- Shared shuttle van. Pre-booked, flat-rate, door-to-hotel service shared with a few other passengers, dropped sequentially at downtown hotels in the Convention Center district, the Warehouse District, the Rainey Street area, the 2nd Street District, and along Congress Avenue near the Capitol (routes per supershuttle.com).
- Private sedan or SUV. Curbside, direct, and quiet — the standard choice for corporate travel and families with extra baggage.
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft). Convenient off-peak, but expect surge pricing during festivals, F1 weekend, and game days.
- Taxi. Metered rides from the designated queue outside baggage claim.
- CapMetro bus. The lowest-cost option if you travel light and your destination sits near a route.
For most hotel-bound visitors, the shared shuttle is the predictable middle path: a lower price than a private car, no surge, and a confirmed pickup arranged before you land.
What to Expect When You Book an Austin Shuttle
Airport pickups at AUS
After landing, collect your baggage and follow ground-transportation signs outside the Barbara Jordan Terminal. On SuperShuttle and ExecuCar bookings, you should receive a message from your driver as you arrive; if nothing has come through by the time you reach the curb, the operator's Austin line is 512-929-3900, ext. 2 (per supershuttle.com). ExecuCar sedans and SUVs use curbside pickup — the driver comes to you rather than you hunting for a zone.
Before you fly
Booking happens online or in an app, 24/7. You choose shared-ride or private service, enter your flight number and hotel, and lock in an all-inclusive price. During festival weeks, reservations should be made as far ahead as possible — van availability tightens quickly when tens of thousands of extra arrivals land in the same week.
Intercity departures
City-to-city shuttles use fixed pickup points instead of hotel-by-hotel collection. On the Austin–San Antonio corridor, Shutto's published pickup locations are The Pershing Cafe (2501 East 5th St) and Austin Airport (3600 Presidential Blvd), with San Antonio departures from La Panaderia (2503 Broadway) and San Antonio Airport (per shutto.us).
Austin Shuttle Options Compared
| Option | Best for | How pricing works | AUS pickup | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shared shuttle van | Solo travelers, couples, families watching their budget | Flat, all-inclusive fare quoted at booking | Pre-booked van at the curb | Multiple hotel stops; reserve early for SXSW/ACL |
| Private sedan / SUV | Corporate trips, small groups, extra baggage | Flat rate locked upfront | Curbside, driver-meets-you | Direct route, no shared stops |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Short, spontaneous trips off-peak | App estimate; surge during events | Designated app pickup zones | Fares can spike sharply during festivals and F1 |
| Taxi | Travelers who skip apps | Metered | Taxi queue at arrivals | Meter runs in I-35 traffic |
| Intercity shuttle (e.g., Shutto) | City-to-city trips without driving | Per-seat fare booked in advance | Fixed stops: AUS and East 5th St | Max 12 passengers per Sprinter van |
| CapMetro bus | Light packers on a tight budget | Standard transit fare | Airport bus stop | Fixed routes and schedules; not door-to-door |
How Austin Shuttle Pricing Works
Shuttle pricing is built to remove guesswork. The fare you see at booking is the fare you pay: an upfront, all-inclusive price with no surge multiplier during SXSW, ACL, F1 weekend, or other peak windows when rideshare fares can double or triple (per supershuttle.com). Exact costs vary by trip type, vehicle, party size, and distance, so treat any figure you read online as an estimate until it comes back as your confirmed quote.
Three cost items to check before you confirm:
- Airport pickup fee. Many operators add a small per-passenger fee for airport pickups — it should appear in your quote.
- Baggage allowance. Standard bags are typically included; fees can apply beyond the included allowance, so declare oversized items when booking.
- Change windows. On intercity routes, Shutto allows free rescheduling up to 4 hours before departure, though a fare difference may apply on changes made within 7 days (per shutto.us).
For longer trips, the savings case is stark: Shutto advertises fares up to 70% lower than Uber Black or comparable private car services on the same corridors (per shutto.us).
Austin Shuttles for SXSW, ACL, F1 Weekend, and UT Football
AUS handles a steady flow of festival and event traffic — SXSW each March, ACL Fest at Zilker Park each fall, the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix weekend at Circuit of the Americas, and UT football home games at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. Those weeks are precisely when demand on rideshare apps spikes and surge pricing hits hardest.
Pre-booked shuttles hold the line: your rate is fixed at booking and doesn't move when app prices triple downtown. Three tips for event weeks:
- Book the moment plans firm up. Shared-ride slots and private cars sell out ahead of headline weekends.
- Pad your schedule. The usual 15–25 minute run between AUS and downtown stretches badly on SH-71 and I-35 when Convention Center traffic peaks.
- Choose lodging with easy curb access. Hotels in the 2nd Street District and Convention Center district make shuttle drop-offs quick.
Intercity Austin Shuttles: San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas
Not every Austin trip starts or ends at the airport. Intercity shuttles connect Austin with Texas's other major metros — a lower-stress alternative to driving I-35 yourself.
Austin to San Antonio
The shortest corridor: roughly 80 miles down I-35, about 90 minutes without traffic. Shuttles depart from central pickup points such as The Pershing Cafe at 2501 East 5th St and AUS itself, serving San Antonio Airport plus downtown stops like La Panaderia on Broadway (per shutto.us). Details on our Austin to San Antonio shuttle page.
Austin to Houston
About 165 miles via SH-71 and I-10, or the US-290 routing. It's the corridor where door-to-door service earns its keep — cross-town Houston traffic and weekend trips make a reserved seat worthwhile. Compare options on our Austin to Houston shuttle page.
Austin to Dallas
Just under 200 miles up the I-35 corridor, roughly three hours of driving. On this route, Shutto explicitly positions its per-seat fares far below typical rideshare pricing for the same trip (per shutto.us). See our Austin to Dallas shuttle page.
What intercity service looks like
Shutto caps its Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans at 12 passengers — a more intimate experience than the 22-plus seats on a full-size coach bus — and belongs to the Trailways network connecting passengers to 900-plus destinations across the United States and Canada. The company is FMCSA registered under USDOT number 4422988, held to the same federal commercial carrier standards as larger operators (per shutto.us). Booking is available 24/7 on iOS and Android, with support staffed seven days a week from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. CST.
Other airports near Austin
Central Texas travelers also fly through San Antonio International Airport (SAT), about 80 miles southwest, and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and Hobby (HOU) airports to the southeast. The same intercity corridors serve those cities — useful when a flight into SAT or HOU prices lower than one into AUS.
Why Choose an Austin Shuttle Over Rideshare or a Taxi?
Shuttle vs. rideshare (Uber/Lyft)
Rideshare wins on spontaneity and loses on predictability. Between late-night arrivals and festival-week surges, an app fare can double or triple, and downtown pickup zones shift with event closures. A shuttle booking is fixed: vehicle reserved, price locked, driver assigned.
Shuttle vs. taxi
Is an airport shuttle cheaper than a taxi from Austin Airport? For one or two travelers staying downtown, a shared shuttle almost always lands lower than a metered taxi once event traffic is factored in — and public transit is cheaper still if you pack light (these are general estimates; your confirmed quote is the real number). Private shuttles and SUVs price closer to taxi rates, but the total is fixed at booking.
Shuttle vs. premium black car
If you want the black-car experience without the invoice, per-seat intercity shuttles are the compromise: a 12-seat Sprinter at a fixed fare, which Shutto advertises as up to 70% cheaper than Uber Black-class service (per shutto.us).
How Do I Book a Ticket or Schedule a Ride?
- Pick your trip type. Shared airport van, private sedan/SUV, or an intercity seat to another city.
- Book online, 24/7. Intercity operators such as Shutto accept booking around the clock at shutto.us and in their iOS/Android apps, with phone support 6:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. CST, seven days a week.
- Confirm the all-inclusive price — base fare, any airport pickup fee, and baggage terms — before you pay.
- Watch for your driver message on arrival at AUS, or head to your assigned pickup point for intercity departures.
Families, groups, and corporate travel managers should book under one reservation so vehicles, baggage space, and pickup times stay coordinated across all trips.
Frequently Asked Questions About Austin Shuttles
How far is Austin Airport from downtown?
About 5 miles — downtown sits northwest of AUS, and the drive typically takes 15–25 minutes depending on SH-71 and I-35 traffic.
Is an airport shuttle cheaper than a taxi from Austin Airport?
For shared rides on short downtown trips, generally yes — and the fare is locked at booking instead of running on a meter through event traffic. Treat any published figure as an estimate and rely on your confirmed quote.
Do you offer private airport transportation to and from Austin Airport?
Yes. Private sedans and SUVs with curbside pickup serve AUS, and private vans can be reserved for groups and families. Shared-ride vans are the budget alternative if you don't mind a stop or two.
How much does an Austin shuttle cost?
It depends on trip type, distance, vehicle, and how far ahead you book. Airport rides use flat per-reservation pricing; intercity routes sell per-seat fares. All costs are confirmed as an upfront, all-inclusive price at booking, and a per-passenger airport pickup fee may apply.
Where do intercity shuttles pick up in Austin?
At fixed stops. On the Austin–San Antonio corridor, Shutto's published pickup points are The Pershing Cafe (2501 East 5th St) and Austin Airport (3600 Presidential Blvd) (per shutto.us).
Can I change or cancel a shuttle reservation?
On intercity bookings, Shutto permits free rescheduling up to 4 hours before departure, with a fare difference possibly applying within 7 days. Cancellations 24-plus hours before pickup receive an account credit rather than a cash refund; inside 24 hours they're non-refundable, and inside 4 hours — or a no-show — the fare is forfeited (per shutto.us).
Which other airports can shuttles serve near Austin?
San Antonio International (SAT) and Houston's IAH and HOU sit on the same intercity corridors, giving travelers alternate arrival cities when fares or schedules work out better.
The Bottom Line on Austin Shuttle Service
Choose a shared shuttle for the best price-to-predictability ratio from AUS to downtown hotels, a private sedan or SUV when corporate polish or extra baggage matters, and a per-seat intercity Sprinter for San Antonio, Houston, or Dallas. Book early for SXSW, ACL, F1 weekend, and football Saturdays, confirm the all-inclusive quote, and the worst part of your Austin trip will be the traffic on I-35 — not the ride. More destinations: Houston shuttle, Dallas shuttle, and San Antonio shuttle.

You can change the date and time of your reservation at no cost. If you don't know the exact address, you can enter the city for now and reserve it, then give us the full address later. If you don't know your flight number landing in Dallas, you can estimate the time and update the flight number and time later.
Our Nicer Vehicles
What type of vehicle will pick me up?
We send a Austin Shuttle or SUV (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to any address in Fort Worth Texas, not just DFW. Our Dallas and Fort Worth vehicles are clean and newer. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinter Shuttles, Lincoln Navigators, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles.
Which vehicle fits my group? Austin options by party size and luggage:
- Nice car (sedan) — 1 to 3 passengers: the most-booked option for AUS runs and intercity trips.
- Large SUV — up to 4 passengers: extra room for families and luggage.
- Shuttle van (Mercedes Sprinter) — up to 8 passengers: groups stay together, non-stop.
Pickup Locations
Your Texas Shuttle picks you up where it says Prearranged at the airport. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged. The signs are easy to see, and they are always at the curb.
Security won't allow drivers to wait or walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off airplane mode and silent, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.
DFW - Pre-arranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal.
- Terminal A - Pre-arranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door A15 and A29. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
- Terminal B - Pre-arranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door B8 and B30. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
- Terminal C - Pre-arranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door C4, C10, C24 and C30. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
- Terminal D - Pre-arranged Limo is Downstairs on Level 0 near Door D22.
