ACL Festival Shuttle (Oct 2-4 & 9-11, 2026)
Austin City Limits Festival 2026 runs two weekends — October 2–4 and October 9–11 — at Zilker Park in Austin, and the 25th anniversary edition draws roughly 450,000 people across the six festival days. Rideshare surge pricing around Zilker Park is at its worst exactly when you need a ride most: right after the headliner. Texas Shuttle is a fixed-fare, 24/7 door-to-door car and shuttle service, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
How is Your Service Different?
- Any Address - We pick up and drop off at your home, business, hotel or any airport.
- Better - most rides are non-stop and no sharing in a Nice Car, SUV or Shuttle.
- Flexible - we pick you up on your schedule 24/7. It's also always free to change the date or time if your flight changes.
- Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop, and all our drivers go through nationwide fingerprint background checks.
- Faster - most rides take half the time, because it's just you in the vehicle. No need to stop and wait everywhere.
- Convenient - Door to Door means no need to arrange or pay for a Taxi or Lyft to get home.
- Affordable - once you add it all up, it's the same price or less than other shared ride shuttles for two or more people, or less than Uber with just one person.
ACL Festival Transportation Logistics
Flying in for the festival? We pick up at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and take you straight to your hotel in downtown Austin, South Congress, East Austin or anywhere else — no shared shuttle stops, no waiting zones. Most AUS airport rides are non-stop, and drivers monitor your flight so a late landing does not cost you your pickup.
Coming from out of town? Texas Shuttle runs door-to-door statewide. Our Dallas to Austin shuttle covers the roughly 155-mile trip in about 3 hours (average fare around $429 based on recent completed trips), and the Austin to DFW route averages around $340 for the approximately 131-mile, two-hour drive. We also run Houston to Austin and Austin to Houston daily.
Getting to Zilker Park: your driver drops you at the address you choose — hotel, short-term rental or a friend's place near the park — and picks you up there again when you are ready. After the show, skip the post-festival surge and the walk to remote lots: book your return ride for a set time and a fixed fare.
Group travel is welcome. ACL crews, hotel blocks and multi-stop pickups can all be quoted in one reservation — just enter each address when you check rates, since most pricing is mileage based.
