Meet Melissa: The Budget-Conscious Business Traveler
Melissa travels between Houston and Austin biweekly for work. When her rideshare bills began exceeding $400 per month, she looked for alternatives.
“I didn’t realize how expensive I was making my trips until I compared what I spent on Ubers versus Texas Shuttle,” Melissa explains. “Now I pay a flat fare and save approximately $100 each month.”
Her company now reimburses her for shuttle costs instead of rideshares, and she added, “I get to stretch my legs, check emails, and even read—something rideshare drivers often make tense.”
Carlos and Jenna: College Students with Tight Budgets
Carlos and Jenna are undergrads at Texas A&M who used to rely on friends or family for airport rides—until busy schedules made that unreliable.
“Gas was getting too expensive,” says Jenna. “And friends were tired of giving us rides to Houston.”
With Texas Shuttle, they book round-trip rides to IAH during school breaks and finals.
“It’s affordable, and honestly, more peaceful than piecing rides together,” says Carlos. “We split the fare sometimes, and it’s cheaper than one tank of gas.”
Derek: Large Family, Large Savings
A father of four, Derek used to rent vans anytime his family flew out of DFW from San Antonio.
“I’d rack up a $300 van rental bill, not including gas or tolls,” Derek recalls. “It was wild.”
Since switching to Texas Shuttle, he and his family take private van shuttles that accommodate their luggage and timeline.
“Even with private service, I’m saving over $150 each trip—and the kids love it more.”
Priya: International Student Planning Trips with Ease
Originally from India, Priya is a graduate student at UT Austin. When her parents came to visit, she had to coordinate their transportation to and from IAH.
“Having never been to the U.S., I was worried for them,” she explains.
Priya booked a Texas Shuttle ride and added her parents’ flight details to the form.
“They were met directly at arrivals,” she smiles. “I was at ease knowing a professional met them—and that I didn’t have to make a 6-hour round trip.”
Jake: Retiree Focusing on Simplicity
Jake, an Army veteran living in Killeen, flies out for leisure trips to Las Vegas and Florida but dislikes driving in busy areas.
“I’m not a city driver anymore,” he jokes.
Since using Texas Shuttle, Jake now gets picked up right from his community center.
“They let me stop at Buc-ee’s if I need,” he laughs. “What other service gives you that kind of Texas-friendly treatment?”
Kristen: Event Planner with Tight Timelines
Kristen organizes corporate events statewide. Flying out of DFW or IAH from various cities like Waco and San Marcos, she needed back-to-back reliability.
“There is no room for delays in my business. I was paying premium pricing for drivers that couldn’t deliver consistently,” she recalls.
After her colleague recommended Texas Shuttle, Kristen made the switch — saving money and time.
“They’ve never missed a pickup, and my schedule stays intact,” she says. “Bonus: my clients are impressed with their professionalism.”
