Car hire Austin Bergstrom International Airport

More than 300 flights a day arrive at or depart from Austin Airport (AUS), an important air transportation hub that links Texas to more than 30 destinations across the United States.

A masterpiece of design devised by an architect at the University of Texas, the airport is efficient and convenient, with two levels - one dedicated to Arrivals, another to Departures. Services such as ATM machines and budget car rental providers are located on both levels.

The airport is located eight kilometres from the Austin central business district but transport options to and from the airport are plentiful. Cheap car hire at Austin Airport is provided by most of the big international chains as well as some local ones. Alternatively, taxis, public buses and other shuttles run on convenient schedules.

Austin is known as the live music capital of the world and it has no trouble living up to that nickname with a good spread of live venues, clubs and bars. Of a day time, there's a surprisingly good range of outdoor and sporting options including spa facilities, golfing, hiking and wildlife watching – car rental at the airport is a good way to take advantage of this less-known side of Austin.
