We get busiest around South by Southwest (SXSW) and Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL). Call, chat, or send the form with your date and group size. We come back with the vehicle, the hours and one all-in total.

Local planning
Starting points. Austin requests most often begin in 6th Street (Dirty Sixth), Rainey Street, East Austin and South Congress (SoCo). Give us a street address or a named lot entrance rather than the neighborhood — drive time and where the bus can actually sit both hang on the exact curb.
Where groups go. Destinations named for Austin include Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, Moody Center, ACL Live at the Moody Theater, Frank Erwin Center (historic) and Circuit of the Americas (COTA). Some have a coach door away from the main entrance. Worth knowing before the group is standing outside.
Dates that fill first. Local calendars around South by Southwest (SXSW), Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL), Formula 1 US Grand Prix (COTA) and MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Check the current schedule with the organiser — this is not a live calendar.
Popular runs. 6th Street bar crawl (Austin's signature party bus route); Rainey Street bar crawl; East Austin craft brewery trail; SoCo vintage shopping and bar loop. Stop order and end time matter more than distance. Send both.
Airport groups. Austin trips connect to AUS. Send flight numbers and bag counts; the meeting point is the commercial-vehicle zone, not the passenger curb.
Beyond Austin. Trips that continue into Houston, San Antonio, Dallas or Fort Worth are quoted as one itinerary; see the Texas guide.
Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and UT Longhorns football: the start time fixes arrival, the exit crowd fixes pickup. Agree one meeting corner and give the driver a 30–45 minute cushion after the final whistle.
6th Street bar crawl (Austin's signature party bus route), Rainey Street bar crawl and East Austin craft brewery trail: fix the stop order and last pickup time first, name one group contact for the driver, and check each venue's group entry policy.
Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL), Bat Fest and Old Pecan Street Festival: read the organizer's street-closure notice before locking a route, and meet outside the heaviest foot traffic with a firm departure deadline.
Vehicle fit
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.
| Group size | Usual fit | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–14 passengers | Stretch limo or Sprinter van | Tight downtown streets, valet-style arrivals, and shorter time blocks. | See limousines |
| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
How pricing is built—hours, mileage, day of week, season, stops—is explained on the pricing page. Every quote is trip-specific and all-inclusive.
