To travel from Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) to San Marcos, there are two transportation options. The most direct and efficient choice is to take a taxi or private transfer, which takes around 40 minutes and costs $77 (€71) on average. Alternatively, you can go by public transport, which requires taking at least two buses and a longer travel time, usually around 1 hour and 40 minutes to reach San Marcos. While taking the bus is a more economical choice with tickets costing $10 (€9.20), the infrequent service and long wait times will require more time and effort than a direct taxi or private transfer.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Austin at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
