- 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.
