In this article, we’re sharing seven real stories from loyal customers who explain how Texas Shuttle saved their day and their flights.
At Texas Shuttle, we’re proud to deliver more than just a ride—we provide dependability, peace of mind, and convenience when it counts most. Here are seven true accounts from customers whose plans could’ve gone sideways if not for our reliable shuttle service.
Story 1: El Paso Teacher’s Conference Panic
Name: Amanda R. | Departing Airport: Houston Hobby
Amanda was headed from Houston to San Diego for an education conference. Her ride-share driver canceled just 40 minutes before her flight. She called two more—both couldn’t make it in time.
"I called Texas Shuttle in desperation. Not only did they get me a ride in under 15 minutes, but my driver got me to the airport early enough to grab a snack before boarding. Total lifesaver."
Story 2: The College Kid Coming Home for the Holidays
Name: Marcus T. | Pickup City: College Station
Marcus is a Texas A&M student who needed a reliable ride from College Station to Dallas Love Field for the holidays. His usual ride bailed at the last minute.
"Texas Shuttle was cheaper than I thought and a hundred times better than worrying whether my classmate would show up to take me. I’ll be using them every break now."
Story 3: A Family of Five Battles IAH Traffic
Name: The Borovitch Family | Departing Airport: George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)
Traveling to Florida with three children under 10 is challenging enough. When their friend who agreed to drive them canceled hours before their flight, they scrambled for a backup.
"We were so close to missing our vacation kickoff. Texas Shuttle not only showed up about 10 minutes early—our driver helped us load all our luggage and even gave us bottled water. The whole process couldn’t have been smoother."
Story 4: Elderly Passenger, Early Flight, No Problem
Name: Harold L. | Dropoff at: Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW)
At 76, Harold didn’t want the hassle of dealing with rideshare apps or long-term parking. An early morning flight to visit his grandchildren required a prompt and professional ride.
"My daughter didn’t want me driving at dawn, and I’m not good with cell phones. I booked Texas Shuttle by phone in minutes. The driver knocked on my door and even helped me carry my bag. I arrived with time to spare and less stress than I’ve had in years."
Story 5: Two Friends, One Missed Shuttle, and a Texas Shuttle Rescue
Names: Kylie and Renee | Pickup: Waco to DAL
After missing a national chain’s scheduled bus, Kylie and Renee needed to urgently get to Dallas Love Field for an international flight.
"We almost cried—we thought we’d lose our dream Spain vacation. A call to Texas Shuttle and they had a car rerouted to us, picked us up within 35 minutes, and got us to the gate with minutes to spare. They saved our entire trip."
Story 6: Business Trip Stress Turned Into First-Class Service
Name: Tom C. | Route: Austin to Houston Hobby
Tom, a frequent business traveler, accidentally scheduled his ride for the wrong day. He didn’t notice until 4 a.m.—with a 6:45 a.m. departure.
"I was sure I was going to have to reschedule my important meeting. I emailed Texas Shuttle from their site, and someone called me within 10 minutes. They dispatched a backup ride and tracked my flight in case it got delayed. I've never had better customer support from a transport service.”
Story 7: Rainstorm, Flooded Roads, and a Flight to Catch
Name: Patricia E. | Route: San Marcos to DFW
During a severe rainstorm in Central Texas, many roads were flooded and rideshares disabled surge pricing and availability.
"Everyone canceled on me—even my backup ride. Texas Shuttle’s larger vehicles and local knowledge saved the day. The driver knew alternate routes and even called ahead to confirm which terminal was least crowded for security lines. I'm now a loyal customer for life."
