College Station to Austin: Fares and Route Notes From Completed Trips

The Aggieland-to-Austin corridor runs about 105 road miles door to door. Across recent completed Texas Shuttle trips between College Station and Austin (n=31), fares averaged $360 (median $321, range $255–$599): sedans (1–2 passengers) averaged about $331 across 26 completed trips, and large SUVs (4–7 passengers) averaged about $515 across 5 trips. Most rides carry 1–2 passengers (average 1.5).

What moves the price

  • Vehicle class — sedan (1–2 passengers) is the entry price; the 7-passenger SUV runs roughly $595–$600 on completed trips.
  • Exact addresses — flat door-to-door quoting means a North Austin drop prices differently than downtown or the airport.
  • Round trips — promo code ONLINE saves 10% on round-trip bookings.

The route we drive

Our default corridor is SH-6 West through Hearng and Bryan, then US-290 West into Austin — the routing dispatchers send drivers on nearly every run. Weekday afternoon rush into Austin (4–7 p.m.) and A&M home-game departures are the two windows that stretch the drive past 2½ hours; we build that into the pickup window you're quoted rather than promising a best-case time.

Common pickup and drop-off points

  • College Station pickups — Texas A&M campus hotels, the Northgate area, Easterwood Airport (CLL), and any Brazos County address.
  • Austin drops — Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) terminal curb, downtown hotels, the Domain, UT campus, and South Congress addresses.
  • Connecting flights — give us the airline and flight number at booking and we track the inbound leg on airport returns.

Riders on this corridor also use our College Station to Houston shuttle and Houston to College Station shuttle pages, and our Austin shuttle service hub lists every route we serve into and out of Austin.

Pickup Locations

Your Texas Shuttle picks you up where it says Prearranged at DFW or Ground Transportation at Love Field. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged at DFW. The signs are easy to see, and they are always at the curb.
Security won't allow drivers to wait or walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off airplane mode and silent, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.


DFW - Prearranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.

  • Terminal A - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door A15 and A29. 
  • Terminal B - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door B8 and B30. 
  • Terminal C - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door C4, C10, C24 and C30. 
  • Terminal D - Level 0 - Prearranged Limo is Downstairs near Door D22.
  • Terminal E - Level 0 - Prearranged Limo is Downstairs near Door E35.

Love Field - Ground Transportation is on the lower level down the ramp from the baggage claim. Head to the right, and we pick you up where it says Oversized Vehicles.
