How an arrival at AUS works
Your reservation is linked to the flight number, so a delay, a diversion or an early landing moves the pickup time automatically. You are given thirty minutes of complimentary wait from wheels-down on a domestic arrival and ninety on an international one, because immigration and baggage are unpredictable in a way the airline schedule is not.
Curbside pickup is the faster and cheaper option: the chauffeur holds in the cell lot, you text when you have your bags, and the car is at the designated pickup zone within a few minutes. Meet-and-greet puts the chauffeur inside with a name board, helps with luggage and walks you out — the right choice for first-time visitors, guests you are hosting, children, and anyone with mobility needs.
Departures from AUS
For departures we work backwards from the terminal arrival time recommended for your carrier and cabin, add the traffic profile for that specific day and hour, and give you a pickup time. For international departures out of the larger hubs that usually means three hours before scheduled departure; for a domestic morning flight with pre-check it is often ninety minutes.
Getting into Austin from AUS
Austin's ground transportation year is punctuated by events that behave like natural disasters: SXSW in March, the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in October, Austin City Limits across two October weekends, and the University of Texas home football Saturdays. In those weeks the city runs out of vehicles and the downtown grid closes.
Local note. SXSW and the Grand Prix each close large parts of downtown and commit every vehicle in central Texas. Both need to be booked in the preceding autumn, not the preceding month.

Questions
AUS car service: frequently asked
Where does the chauffeur meet me at AUS?
You choose. Curbside pickup places the car at the designated pickup zone once you have your bags and is the faster option. Meet-and-greet places the chauffeur inside the terminal at baggage claim or the international arrivals gate with a name board. During SXSW and the Formula 1 weekend the pickup zones are re-mapped and the city sells out of vehicles. Book months, not days, ahead.
Do you track flights into AUS?
Yes. The reservation is linked to your flight number and the pickup time moves automatically with the actual arrival. Delays caused by the airline are never charged as wait time.
How much waiting time is included at AUS?
Thirty minutes from touchdown on domestic arrivals and ninety minutes on international arrivals.
What are the terminals at AUS?
Barbara Jordan Terminal, with expansion work ongoing. Terminal layouts and pickup zones change with construction, so the desk re-checks the current zone the day before every arrival.
Which FBOs do you serve at AUS?
Atlantic Aviation, Signature Aviation. Ramp access is granted by the FBO and the airport authority; give the desk the FBO name and we confirm the arrangement before the day.
How early should I leave for a departure from AUS?
We work backwards from the terminal arrival time your carrier and cabin recommend, add the traffic profile for that day and hour, and give you a pickup time rather than asking you to guess one.
