Austin Charter Services came recommended by our friends because of their low rates and friendly service. We rented a transit bus (the most affordable option mid-day,mid-week) through Abdul, who responds quickly and politely. Because of the weather, our event was cancelled 45 minutes before our scheduled pickup time. Both the driver and Abdul were easy to reach, extremely understanding, and offered a full refund without any hassle. I hope to have another opportunity to work with ACS, and will continue to praise their upstanding business.

We chose Austin Charter for our wedding shuttle services. We needed our guests brought to the wedding venue and back to the hotel at the end of the night. The shuttle bus was huge and the driver was very friendly. Adbul at Austin Charter offered us a great hourly rate that was better than any other company I contacted. After the wedding Abdul also helped us track down a guest's lost cell phone. This is the perfect company if you are looking for a basic shuttle bus and don't want to spend a fortune.

Operator's Response:

After checking on so many companies, I decided to go with Austin Charter Service and it was the right choice!! Why? First impression is always a very important one. I called few others and the responds I got were like they were busy and so on and they were much more expensive with a fixed rate. Austin Charter was the only one that offer the flexibility for me and gave me quotes and responses in a very prompt and friendly manner. After all, when you book something for your event, you don't want anyone to get you worry or upset on your important day. Very reasonable price and also, it was great choice to get the charter service because our wedding guests were from oversea, they didn't need to worry how to get to our venue. The guests were also worry free on the alcohol consumption during such an event. Thank you Abdul for organizing in such a short notice too!!

Absolutely wonderful to work with. I was able to make a reservation for a school bus a week before graduation weekend which was awesome. Abdul is the person I talked to the entire time and always managed to answer my calls and annoying questions. He was really nice and was willing to work with me when I asked him if the bus could come 15 minutes early because I was nervous about getting to our destination on time. He sent me a contract which listed all the details, and notified me that there is a $150 refundable deposit that I would have to pay only if someone spilled a drink and/or vomited inside the bus. He let me know the bus driver's name and her number so that if I had any questions I could contact her. He immediately mailed me the $150 check after the weekend was over - I didn't even have to ask! (Even though I did...but he had already sent it.) I would highly recommend going through Abdul and Austin Charter Services!

We used Austin Charter to shuttle guests between our church and reception hall on the day of our wedding. The blue transit buses they use are funky and cool looking. Perfect for a medium or short drive. The owners are also friendly and professional. Plus, going with a local small business helped us save so much more than we expected!!

We used Austin Charter to rent an awesome white school bus for our wedding party to go float the river a few days before our wedding. I was able to send all the details to the company via email with no problems and their rates were very competitive compared to other companies. Emilio, our driver, was wonderful, very friendly, and able to roll with the punches as our plans changed a few times on the day of the trip. We were very lucky to get Austin Charter and Emilio and would certainly recommend them to others in the future. Thanks so much!

I contacted Austin Charter Services to help drive the employees of Wheatsville Co-Op to our new store location! Abdul worked with me through the whole process, from working with our budget, figuring out how many buses we would need, all without even knowing the destination (it was a surprise)! The drivers were super friendly, as well. I would definitely recommend these guys for any trip that you're planning!

We used Austin Charter Services to bring our guests from the hotel to our wedding venue on Friday, March 2, 2012. I looked around at about 6 different companies, and Austin Charter's prices were considerably lower than the other transportation companies. Diana was extremely friendly and easy to work with and the driver was great too! The bus was clean, they were on time (early actually!),and immediately sent the deposit check back after our event. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again for another event!

We hosted a wedding at Vintage Villas over Lake Travis but wanted our guests to stay downtown at the Radisson to enjoy the nightlife Austin has to offer. We were on a very tight timeline to work around hotel check-in, ceremony start time, and within the 8 hour minimum bus rental time-block. And Austin Charter Services pulled it off beautifully. Everyone was on-time and Emilio our driver was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our requests. You also cannot beat the price these guys can work you up. You can get as fancy as you want depending on your budget but if you need something more economic then they can set you up there as well. Most high recommendations for these guys!

We rented a school bus from Austin Charter to take a party of around 40 from Downtown Austin out to the Salt Lick. The bus services was punctual and accommodated all of our requests for additional stops. The bus was clean, driver was friendly, and allowed us to play some music and drink a few beers on the ride. Prices are very reasonable. We had a great night and would recommend using Austin Charter Services.

Our group of about 30 people worked with Austin Charter Services to arrange transportation to a place about 45 outside of Austin. They were incredibly easy to work with and very responsive through the booking process. The driver was early and very friendly/accommodating, and the bus was great! Unbeatable price for a quick trip like we had. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a weekend in Austin and needing transportation. Thanks again!

Our group of 10 used Austin Charter Services for a full day of events around Austin, and we could not have been more pleased. The company (Diana was our contact) timely responded to each request, and we made several changes to the schedule before the day of the trip. Communication was always prompt and courteous. This carried over to the day of the trip, when our driver (Natalie) was on time (early, acutally) and available by cell throughout the day in case we needed to stay longer or shorter in any destination. Even though it was a very hot day, Natalie was unfailingly polite and helpful. I cannot say enough nice things -- it was truly superior service at a very reasonable price!

We had the same bus company shuttle patrons to our event for over ten years. Just weeks before the event I found out that that bus company went out of business. I contacted Austin Charter and they came through great. Nobody even realized we had switched companies. I heard no complaints the whole weekend and the greatest compliment you can give to this kind of company is "the busses ran on time".

Excellent service! I was able to book buses for an event 2 days beforehand and still got a great deal. The drivers were very polite and timely. Austin Charter Services made sure I had the bus drivers' numbers before the event, and they picked us up on time. It was definitely a hassle-free experience, and I would certainly use this company again.
