Granbury to Austin Airport Shuttle

Welcome to Texas Shuttle. Our private door-to-door ride from Granbury to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is built for travelers who want a quiet, predictable trip across Central Texas without the stress of self-driving 200+ miles before a flight.

Your Route from Granbury to Austin (the real one)

From Granbury, the natural route to Austin is US-377 South through Cleburne, then I-35W south to where it merges with I-35 at Hillsboro. From Hillsboro you stay on I-35 the whole way down — past Waco, Temple, and Round Rock — before exiting for Austin-Bergstrom. The full drive is roughly 205 miles, and we plan it as one non-stop ride: no transfers, no shared pickups, no detours.

Two stretches of I-35 dictate timing more than anything else:

  • Waco (I-35 mile markers ~330 to 340): ongoing widening work and afternoon truck volume can add 15–25 minutes on weekdays.
  • North Austin (Round Rock to US-290): the last 20 miles into AUS are routinely the slowest part of the trip during weekday afternoons.

Your driver watches live traffic and, when it makes sense, peels off to SH-130 toll road on the east side of Austin to skip the I-35 jam — toll cost is included in your fare when we make that call.
