Daily Schedule (Austin to College Station)
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in College Station. Your professional driver runs this route non-stop, door to door, in a clean, newer vehicle. 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 college? See our van shuttle service in Texas page for direct service.
What is my pickup time at the airport?
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.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, 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.
What happens if my flight arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at the airport, 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 terminal at your prearranged pickup spot until your car or airport shuttle is a minute or so away.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Austin to College Station 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 the Austin to College Station trip take?
The Austin to College Station run covers roughly 105 miles door to door and takes about an hour and three quarters to two hours in normal traffic. A private ride runs non-stop — no waiting on other passengers, no fixed bus departure times to chase.
What time should I be picked up?
For airport drop-offs, aim to arrive about 2 hours before a domestic flight — that covers security and getting to your gate. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before departure, so schedule your pickup with a comfortable buffer. Your driver monitors traffic, and a little extra time keeps the trip stress-free by adjusting for the unexpected.

Austin Airport to College Station: Your Complete Transportation Guide
If you're flying into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and need to get to College Station, home of Texas A&M University, you have several options. The trip covers roughly 105 miles door to door and takes about an hour and three quarters to two hours in normal traffic. In this guide, we break down every way to make the journey — private shuttle, rental car, rideshare, and bus — so you can choose what fits your schedule, budget, and comfort level.
Texas Shuttle has been moving passengers across Texas for more than 5 years, serving over 100,000 customers with door-to-door service that runs 24/7. Below, we explain exactly how the route works, what to expect on the road, and how to book with confidence.
How Far Is College Station from Austin Airport?
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport sits about 8 miles southeast of downtown Austin. From there, College Station is roughly 105 miles east-northeast. Most drivers take SH-130 and US-290 toward Bryan–College Station, though the exact route depends on your starting point and traffic conditions on the day you travel.
- Distance: Approximately 105 miles door to door
- Driving time: About 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours in normal traffic
- Highways you'll likely travel: SH-130, US-290, and TX-6 into Bryan–College Station
- Airport code: AUS (Austin-Bergstrom International Airport)
- Destination: Texas A&M University, downtown College Station, or any address in Brazos County
Because the drive crosses mostly rural Texas between Austin and the Brazos Valley, there's no single fast public-transit option that covers it directly — which is why so many Texas A&M families, students, and visiting faculty rely on a prearranged shuttle for this route.
Your Transportation Options: AUS to College Station Compared
Every traveler has different priorities. A student hauling luggage back to campus cares about door-to-door convenience; a parent on a weekend visit might value cost; a business traveler values reliability above all. Here's how the main options stack up:
| Option | Approximate Travel Time | Door-to-Door? | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private shuttle or SUV (Texas Shuttle) | About 1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs | Yes — any address in College Station | Families, groups of 4+, late-night arrivals, anyone with lots of luggage |
| Nice car (1–3 passengers) | About 1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs | Yes — any address in College Station | Solo travelers and couples who want a private, direct ride |
| Intercity bus (Greyhound) | Varies — includes transfer between the airport and the bus station | No — station-to-station | Budget travelers with flexible schedules and light luggage |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | About 1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs (when drivers accept the long fare) | Usually | Travelers who can find an available driver willing to make the long trip |
| Rental car | About 1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs plus pickup/return time | Yes, but you drive yourself | Visitors who need a vehicle during a multi-day stay |
Note: Costs vary by service, time of day, vehicle type, and demand. Always request a current quote directly from any provider before booking — we don't publish fixed prices here because mileage-based rates and special zip-code pricing can change.
Option 1: Private Door-to-Door Shuttle with Texas Shuttle
How Is Your Service Different?
Most airport transfers pack strangers into a shared van and make stop after stop along the way. Texas Shuttle works differently: we pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in College Station — your dorm, apartment, hotel, or the campus itself — not just one designated drop-off point.
You also won't be packed in with 8–54 people you don't know. For 1–3 passengers we send a nice private car; for parties of 4 or more, we send a shuttle or SUV. The vehicle is yours for the trip, and the run is direct: Austin airport to College Station, roughly 105 miles with no detours to collect other passengers.
How Do You Handle Flight Delays at Austin-Bergstrom Airport?
This is one of the most common questions we get — and one of the biggest advantages of prearranged service. When you book with your flight number, your pickup time automatically adjusts to 30 minutes after you land for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights. If your flight is delayed, you don't need to call and reschedule; the pickup shifts with your actual arrival.
Why the built-in buffer? Normally, 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find the Prearranged pickup area. If you don't have checked bags, you can schedule your pickup for 15 minutes after landing domestically, or 30 minutes for international flights with no bags.
What's Included in Every Fare?
- Private vehicle — a nice car for 1–3 passengers, or a shuttle or SUV for 4+ passengers
- Door-to-door service between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and any address in College Station (or between any two Texas addresses)
- Flight-tracking adjusted pickup times for airport arrivals
- 24/7 availability — early-morning departures and late-night arrivals are never a problem
- Room for your luggage, with no per-bag fees buried in the fine print
- Options for Texas Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service so you can compare and choose
Is the Fare Per Person or for the Whole Vehicle?
Because the vehicle is private, the fare covers the whole ride — not a per-seat charge for each passenger. Splitting a shuttle or SUV among a group of Texas A&M students or family members is one of the easiest ways to bring the per-person cost down. Most pricing is mileage based, which is why we recommend entering your full address rather than just your city when you check rates; we have special rates for certain zip codes.
Do You Charge Surge Pricing at Busy Times?
No surge pricing at busy times. When you get a quote through our website, that's the price you book. We include pricing for Texas Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service side by side, so you can compare costs and choose the option that works best before you commit.
How Do I Get an Accurate Quote?
Getting a quote takes about a minute:
- Step 1: You can just type a city and check rates, but we recommend entering the full address to get an accurate quote, since pricing is mostly mileage based and special rates apply to certain zip codes.
- Step 2: We show you pricing for Texas Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service so you can compare options. Once a price comes up, click "Reserve Now."
- Step 3: Enter your name, cell phone, and email to save your quote — a copy is automatically sent to your email. Just click "Continue."
- Step 4: The website won't book anything until you enter a credit or debit card on the final booking screen.
Booking a round trip saves you 10%, and entering the promo code "ONLINE" when you book online saves another 10%. Choose the option called "Any Two Addresses 24/7" for non-airport transportation between any two addresses in Texas.
Option 2: Intercity Bus from Austin to College Station
Greyhound operates scheduled service between Austin and College Station, and it can be a solid budget choice if your schedule is flexible and you don't mind getting yourself between the airport and the bus station first.
Bus Stations and Stops in Austin, TX
Greyhound serves Austin from multiple locations, so check your ticket carefully to confirm which stop applies to your trip:
- Austin Eastside Bus Plaza — 363 Shady Lane, Austin, TX 78702. The bus will board at Bay A, B, or C. Note that the interior of the station may be closed on certain holidays, but trips still occur outside the building as scheduled — past holiday closures have included Memorial Day, Juneteenth, and Independence Day.
- Downtown Austin (9th St) — 703 E 9th St, Austin, TX 78701. The bus boards in the parking lot at this address, which sits on the corner of E 9th St and I-35 Frontage Road.
- Austin South Congress — 300 Radam Ln, Austin, TX 78704. The bus boards at Bay H at the South Congress Transit Center.
The College Station End of the Line
In College Station, the Greyhound stop is at 105 Dominik Drive, College Station, TX 77840. Buses board along the grassy curb in the vacant parking lot directly adjacent to the Whataburger at that address — an easy landmark to spot. From there, it's a short ride to the Texas A&M campus or your final destination, but you'll need a taxi, rideshare, or local shuttle to cover that last leg.
Reserve a Seat — and What to Expect on Board
Greyhound lets you reserve a seat in advance when booking, and you'll receive a digital ticket with live bus tracking so you can see where your bus is in real time. Many coaches offer free onboard Wi-Fi, and if your plans change, you can manage or change your booking through their website — check the fare rules on your ticket, since change rights vary by fare type.
Greyhound's network includes more than 1,600 destinations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, so if your journey continues beyond College Station — say, on to Houston or Dallas — a connecting itinerary may be possible.
The trade-off: you'll need to get from AUS airport to one of the Austin bus stations first, luggage space is limited to what you can carry on and stow, and departure times are fixed to the schedule rather than your arrival time.
Option 3: Rideshare and Rental Cars
Rideshare from AUS
Uber and Lyft both operate at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. A ride to College Station is a long-haul trip — roughly 105 miles — so availability can be inconsistent, especially late at night or during peak Texas A&M event weekends like graduation and game days. Surge pricing at busy times can also significantly raise the cost of a long ride. If you go this route, confirm the driver knows the destination before you load your bags.
Rental Car
All major rental agencies operate out of the AUS rental car center, connected to the main terminal by shuttle. Driving yourself gives you flexibility if you need a car throughout your stay — but it means navigating SH-130 and TX-6 on your own, paying for parking in College Station, and arranging a ride back to the airport when you leave if you drop the car early.
What to Expect on the Drive: The Route Breakdown
The Austin-to-College-Station corridor is one of Central Texas's most traveled university routes. Here's what the trip looks like from the road:
- Leaving AUS: You'll exit the airport via Presidential Boulevard and connect quickly to SH-130, the toll road that loops east of Austin — one of the fastest ways out of the metro area.
- Heading east: The route links up with US-290, passing through rolling countryside and small Texas towns between the capital region and the Brazos Valley.
- Approaching College Station: TX-6 carries you into Bryan–College Station, the twin cities anchored by Texas A&M. Landmarks like Kyle Field, the Texas A&M campus, and the Wolf Pen Creek area make quick reference points for your driver.
Allow a little extra time on Texas A&M home football Saturdays, graduation weekends, and other major campus events, when traffic into town from TX-6 can slow noticeably.
What to Expect from Your Texas Shuttle Trip
From booking to drop-off, here's how the process works:
- Book online or by phone. Get your quote in about a minute using the steps above, or call us at (817) 403-6196. Our main office is at 320 Decker Drive, Irving, TX 75062.
- Land and collect your bags. Your pickup is automatically scheduled 30 minutes after your domestic flight lands (45 minutes for international), and adjusts if your flight is delayed. With no checked bags, you can move it up to 15 minutes after landing.
- Meet your driver at Prearranged pickup. At AUS, follow the signs to the Prearranged pickup area. A note on airport logistics: security won't allow drivers to wait or walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle, so your driver will meet you right where the airport directs prearranged rides.
- Ride direct to your address. No shared stops, no waiting for other passengers — just a direct run of roughly 105 miles, about an hour and three quarters to two hours in normal traffic, ending at any address in College Station you choose.

Traveling the Reverse Direction: College Station to Austin Airport
Flying out of AUS? The same 24/7 door-to-door service works in reverse. For airport drop-offs, aim to arrive about 2 hours before a domestic flight — that covers check-in, security, and getting to your gate. Because boarding usually starts 30 minutes before departure, schedule your pickup from College Station with a comfortable buffer rather than cutting it close. A good rule of thumb for this route: leave College Station at least 4 hours before a domestic departure to account for traffic and airport timing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Austin Airport to College Station
How do I get from Austin-Bergstrom Airport to College Station?
The most convenient option is a prearranged private shuttle, which takes you door to door in about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours over roughly 105 miles. Alternatives include an intercity bus (with a transfer from the airport to an Austin bus station), rideshare, or a rental car. Details for each option are covered above.
How much does the Austin to College Station shuttle cost?
Pricing is mileage based and varies by vehicle type, pickup location, and zip code, so we don't list a fixed price here. The fastest way to get an accurate figure is to enter your full address in our online quote tool — it takes about a minute, shows you Texas Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service options side by side, and emails you a saved quote before you book anything. Round trips save 10%, and promo code "ONLINE" saves another 10% when booking online.
What happens if my flight into AUS is delayed?
Your pickup automatically adjusts. For domestic flights, we schedule you 30 minutes after your plane lands — or 45 minutes after landing for international flights — and if your flight is delayed, those pickup times shift automatically to match your new arrival. You don't need to call in and rebook.
Where does the bus drop off in College Station?
Greyhound's College Station stop is at 105 Dominik Drive, College Station, TX 77840. Buses board along the grassy curb in the vacant parking lot directly adjacent to the Whataburger at that address. From there, you'll need local transportation to reach campus or your final destination.
Do you pick up from specific locations in Cedar Park or other Austin suburbs?
Yes. While this guide focuses on the airport run, Texas Shuttle provides pickup from Austin-area suburbs including Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Pflugerville, as well as anywhere in College Station — not just the airport. For non-airpoint-to-non-airport trips, choose the "Any Two Addresses 24/7" option when booking.
Is the shuttle private or shared with strangers?
Private. We don't pack you in with 8–54 people you don't know. For 1–3 passengers you get a nice car; for 4 or more, we send a shuttle or SUV. The vehicle is exclusively yours for the trip.
What's the best time to schedule a pickup from College Station for a flight out of AUS?
Aim to arrive at the airport about 2 hours before a domestic flight to cover security and getting to your gate. Since the drive takes roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, plus buffer for boarding that usually starts 30 minutes before departure, schedule your College Station pickup about 4 hours before a domestic flight departs — earlier for international flights or during major Texas A&M event weekends when TX-6 traffic builds.
