FAQs
Limo Service in Austin: FAQs
What does a limo service in Austin cost, and what changes the price?
We don't publish rates because every limo service in Austin booking is quoted individually, but the main drivers are vehicle class, hours booked and distance. A three-hour stretch limousine for a Sixth Street night out prices differently from a full-day party bus running between downtown hotels and Hill Country venues. Date and season matter too, since SXSW and ACL weekends fill the calendar early. Send your details through the quote form and the reservation team usually replies within 15 minutes with an all-inclusive figure covering gratuity, tolls and fees.
How far ahead should I book a limo in Austin?
Airport and corporate rides are usually fine with about 24 hours' notice, and same-day requests are often possible when vehicles are available. Weddings and proms should be reserved 4 to 8 weeks ahead, especially in spring and fall when Austin venues book up. For SXSW in March and ACL weekends in the fall, earlier is better when arranging a limo service in Austin. Tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.
How long does the ride to Austin-Bergstrom take?
From central Austin, AUS is about 8 miles and typically 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Allow more on weekday mornings when I-35 and the airport approach back up, and on festival weekends. Your chauffeur arrives 15 minutes before pickup, and for arrivals we track the flight and include 60 minutes of free wait time on domestic trips. For airport and business travel, our limo service in Austin keeps the timing simple, and our car service in Austin covers the details.
Where do you pick up for a night on Sixth Street?
We pick up at your hotel, home or restaurant and set a clear meeting point with your chauffeur, because Sixth Street itself closes to vehicles on busy weekend nights. The usual plan is a drop at a nearby cross street and a confirmed return time and corner later. Your chauffeur's name and contact details arrive before pickup so plans can shift by text. Tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
Can we drink on board, and what are the rules for student trips?
Guests 21 and older may bring their own beverages in limousines and party buses where Texas law allows. Alcohol is never permitted on prom, homecoming or any student trip, and those rides run on parent-approved routes with set pickup and drop-off times. Chauffeurs are commercially licensed, background-checked and trained in defensive driving. Tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
Which vehicle should I book for my group size?
Match the vehicle to the headcount and the occasion. The stretch limousine seats 8 to 10, the SUV stretch limo 12 to 18 and the Hummer limo up to 20, while the party bus handles 18 to 40 for a concert or bachelor party night. The Sprinter limo seats 10 to 14 and suits wine tours and wedding parties, and the motor coach carries up to 56 for conventions and sports teams. Several vehicles can run under one reservation with one point of contact.
Can you handle a concert at COTA or a festival weekend?
Yes. Circuit of the Americas events, from race weekends to the big fall music festival, are among our most requested Austin rides, and a party bus or Sprinter keeps the group together. Traffic around the circuit backs up before and after headline sets, so we build in buffer time and agree on a meeting point and return window in advance. Book well ahead for festival weekends and tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
Do you also serve Lakeway & Lake Travis and Cedar Park?
Yes. AA Limo covers Lakeway and Lake Travis, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Dripping Springs and Georgetown alongside Austin itself. That matters for weddings and wine tours, where the venue is often out past the lake or in Hill Country and the ride home is the long part. Quotes include the full route, so a pickup in Cedar Park and a drop in Dripping Springs is one reservation. Tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
Can you handle a Capitol ceremony and a reception elsewhere in the same day?
Yes. A common Austin wedding day runs from photos near the Capitol to a ceremony downtown and a reception out in Hill Country, and we coordinate the whole sequence to your timeline. Bridal party pickups, ceremony-to-reception transfers and guest shuttles can run on several vehicles under one reservation with one point of contact. Reserve 4 to 8 weeks ahead for spring and fall dates, and tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
What is available for SXSW and ACL weekends?
SXSW in March and ACL in the fall are the busiest stretches on the Austin calendar, and we plan around closed streets and heavy traffic near the downtown venues and Zilker Park. Party buses, Sprinter limos and mini buses keep groups together, with a set meeting point and return window rather than a moving target. Book early, since those weekends fill fastest. Tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
