One shuttle for the whole Austin–Houston–Dallas trip
Start in Austin: Houston and Dallas without three bookings. Instead of booking three separate one-way rides or driving a rental car between cities, Texas Shuttle assigns one private vehicle and driver to your full itinerary: Austin → Houston → Dallas → back to Austin. Door-to-door pickups at any address in each city, flat rates, 24/7, no surge pricing at any hour.
Route snapshot
The full loop is about 596 road miles — roughly 10 hr 39 min of driving in normal traffic, split across three legs. Distance figures come from live road-network routing between the city centers; door-to-door stops at specific addresses add a few minutes per leg, and metro rush hours add 30–45 minutes.

|---|---|---|
| Austin to Houston | 162 miles | 2 hr 59 min |
| Houston to Dallas | 239 miles | 4 hr 13 min |

Why one vehicle beats three one-ways
With a single reserved vehicle your luggage stays put, your driver knows the whole plan including dwell time in each city, and you avoid re-booking rideshare legs at surge prices in three different metros. Shuttle vans seat up to 8 with luggage, so groups pay one flat vehicle price, not per head.
Typical itineraries
Austin-first ordering: run the TX-71 and I-10 leg to Houston in the morning, take the I-45 run north to Dallas for the evening, and finish on I-35 back to Austin. Popular with touring crews, medical-device reps, and Capitol-to-court days that touch all three metros.
