Getting from Austin Airport (AUS) to San Marcos takes about 40 min by car on an empty road (40–50 min in heavy traffic) over 54 km via I 35 and TX 71. Our private transfer costs $240 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $320 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits for you in the baggage claim area on the lower level of the Barbara Jordan Terminal, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
San Marcos is a university city in Hays County, about 50 km south-west of the airport, roughly halfway between Austin and San Antonio. The drive follows State Highway 71 west and Interstate 35 south through Buda and Kyle, or uses the State Highway 130 and 45 toll roads east of the city before joining I-35. Traffic on I-35 near San Marcos is often heavy on Friday afternoons, on weekends and when students arrive or leave at the start and end of semesters.
The centre of San Marcos is built around the courthouse square, a few blocks from the hilly campus of Texas State University. Spring Lake, lies at the northern edge of the campus, and the river flows south through Rio Vista Park and other riverside parks that are popular for tubing in summer. The large outlet malls are next to I-35 on the southern side of the city, and many hotels are grouped along the interstate.
Public transport: No direct public transport links Austin Airport with San Marcos; the trip by bus needs a change in Austin onto a regional service.
