san marcos airport transportation San Marcos Airport Transportation
It's a long ride from San Marcos to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (3600 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719) — about 40 miles north on I-35, which can stretch to 60 or 90 minutes during Austin's notorious rush-hour backups. And San Antonio International Airport (9800 Airport Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78216) sits roughly 55 miles south. At AUS, charter vehicles stage at the Ground Transportation Staging Area on Spirit of Texas Drive north of Rental Car Lane before dispatching to the terminal passenger pickup area, as detailed in the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport ground transportation plan.
Your bus stays out of the terminal curb traffic until everyone has every bag in hand, so airport pickup runs on a clean call-to-curb sequence instead of a curbside guessing game. Instead of splitting your group across a caravan of cars and dealing with airport parking on both ends, one bus handles the whole run. Sanmarcoscharterbusservices.com makes it easy to compare minibuses, sprinter vans, and full-size charter buses for airport transfers to AUS and SAT — find the right vehicle for your group size, compare prices, and book right online.

FM 306 is a two-lane rural road leading into Whitewater, and parking at the venue fills fast on sold-out nights.
A charter bus or minibus drops your group at the main entrance, then stages while you enjoy the show — so nobody is hunting for a parking spot or waiting on a surge-priced rideshare after the encore.

Texas State University directs oversized vehicles and charter buses to Lot 5A, accessed off Aquarena Springs Drive, for home football games and major events at Bobcat Stadium. Bus parking passes must be purchased in advance through Texas State Parking Services — day-of permits are not guaranteed. Lots open approximately three hours before kickoff.
Passenger drop-off for charter buses is along Aquarena Springs Drive near the stadium's main entrance, with the bus then relocating to Lot 5A. Aquarena Springs Drive sees heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic beginning two to three hours before kickoff on home Saturdays, so plan your arrival window accordingly. Confirm current event-specific assignments with Texas State Parking Services at (512) 245-2378 before your visit, as lot designations can shift by event.
Charter buses serving Strahan Arena (601 University Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666) on the Texas State University campus access the venue via University Drive. Passenger drop-off is at the arena's main entrance off University Drive, with the bus then relocating to a campus parking area designated for oversized vehicles. Campus parking at Texas State is permit-enforced, and event-specific oversized vehicle parking assignments should be arranged in advance through Texas State Parking Services at (512) 245-2378.
Because Strahan Arena hosts basketball games, concerts, and graduation ceremonies — all of which draw large crowds — coordinating your bus arrival and parking assignment ahead of time is strongly recommended.
Whitewater Amphitheater sits about 18 miles northeast of San Marcos via I-35 N and FM 306 — roughly a 25-minute drive. FM 306 is a two-lane rural road that narrows as it approaches the venue, so full-size 56-passenger coaches should confirm road clearance and staging with the venue directly at (830) 964-3800 before the event. A minibus is often the more practical vehicle for this destination given the rural road approach.
Confirm current drop-off and staging arrangements with the venue before your visit, as details can vary by event.
Gruene Hall (1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is located in the Gruene Historic District, about 16 miles northeast of San Marcos via I-35 N. Large buses drop off passengers at or near the Gruene Road entrance and then stage in the Gruene Historic District's main public parking area — the primary lot is off Hunter Road near the intersection with Gruene Road, approximately a three- to five-minute walk from the hall. Full-size 56-passenger coaches should approach via Hunter Road to avoid the narrowest sections of Gruene Road near the hall. A minibus is often the better-suited vehicle for this destination.
Call the venue directly at (830) 606-1281 or check gruenehall.com to confirm current event details before your visit.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels (400 N Liberty Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is about 18 miles northeast of San Marcos via I-35 N — roughly a 22-minute drive. Charter buses and large group vehicles use the main entrance on Liberty Avenue for drop-off, with designated bus and RV parking available within the main parking lot. For large group arrivals, coordinate with Schlitterbahn group sales at (830) 625-2351 in advance to confirm current bus parking assignments and to ask about group discount pricing for parties of 15 or more.
Confirm current parking details on schlitterbahn.com before your visit, as seasonal policies may vary.
Freeman Coliseum (3201 E Houston St, San Antonio, TX 78219) is approximately 50 miles southwest of San Marcos via I-35 S — about a 55-minute drive. Charter buses drop off passengers at the main entrance on E Houston Street. The Freeman Coliseum complex has a large main parking lot on the east side that accommodates oversized vehicles, and bus parking fees apply.
Freeman Coliseum shares its parking infrastructure with the adjacent AT&T Center, so on nights when both venues have events, the lots fill quickly. Confirm current parking rates and bus-specific assignments with the Freeman Coliseum box office at (210) 207-3663 before your visit, and check freemancoliseum.net for event-day guidance.
Book three to six months out for most San Marcos trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the dates when the whole I-35 corridor goes into high demand at once. Texas State home football Saturdays from September through November, spring commencement in May, and prom season across Hays County ISD and San Marcos CISD in April and May are the tightest windows of the year — buses across the entire region fill up fast. Texas State's next fall commencement ceremonies are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, December 11 and 12, 2026, at Strahan Arena, so those campus dates deserve the same early-booking treatment.
The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo at Freeman Coliseum in February, SXSW in Austin in March, and Austin City Limits in October also spike demand for buses based in San Marcos, since the city sits squarely between Austin and San Antonio on I-35. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from — book as early as you can and lock in the bus you want!

The stadium sits on the Texas State University campus, accessed via Aquarena Springs Drive off I-35. Charter buses are directed to Lot 5A off Aquarena Springs Drive for home games — passes must be purchased in advance through Texas State Parking Services at (512) 245-2378.
Passenger drop-off is along Aquarena Springs Drive near the main entrance. Lots open approximately three hours before kickoff, and Aquarena Springs Drive sees heavy traffic two to three hours before game time. Confirm current lot assignments with Texas State Parking Services before your visit, as event-specific details can change.
Address: 1100 Aquarena Springs Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666 Phone: (512) 245-2378 (Texas State Parking Services)
Strahan Arena
Strahan Arena is the on-campus home of Texas State Bobcats basketball, seating approximately 7,200 fans, and also hosts concerts, graduation ceremonies, and major campus events throughout the year. The arena is located on the Texas State University campus, accessed via University Drive. Charter buses drop off passengers at the main entrance off University Drive, then relocate to an oversized vehicle parking area on campus.
Because Texas State's campus parking is permit-enforced, bus parking assignments for events at Strahan Arena should be arranged in advance through Texas State Parking Services at (512) 245-2378. Coordinating early is especially important during basketball season and commencement, when campus traffic is at its peak.
Address: 601 University Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666 Phone: (512) 245-2378 (Texas State Parking Services)
Whitewater Amphitheater
Whitewater Amphitheater is an iconic outdoor music venue on the banks of the Guadalupe River, about 18 miles northeast of San Marcos via I-35 N and FM 306. With a capacity of approximately 3,000, it hosts country, Americana, and rock acts in an open-air setting that draws fans from across Central Texas. FM 306 is a two-lane rural road — full-size coaches should confirm the approach and staging with the venue at (830) 964-3800 before the event.
Drop-off is at the main entrance on FM 306; no dedicated charter bus parking lot is published, so buses stage in the general lot or along FM 306. A minibus is often the more practical vehicle for this rural venue approach.
Address: 11860 FM 306, New Braunfels, TX 78132 Phone: (830) 964-3800
Gruene Hall
Gruene Hall is Texas's oldest continuously operating dance hall, open since 1878 and still hosting live music nearly every weekend. Located in the charming Gruene Historic District about 16 miles northeast of San Marcos, the hall holds roughly 800 guests and draws country and Texas music fans from across the state. Because Gruene Road is narrow and the historic district is pedestrian-heavy, large charter buses approach via Hunter Road and drop off near the Gruene Road entrance, then stage in the main public lot off Hunter Road — a three- to five-minute walk to the hall.
A minibus is often the better vehicle choice for this destination. Call the venue directly at (830) 606-1281 for event details.
Address: 1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130 Phone: (830) 606-1281
Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels
Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels is one of the largest and most celebrated waterparks in the United States, located about 18 miles northeast of San Marcos via I-35 N. The park's season typically runs May through September, drawing massive summer crowds from across Central Texas. Charter buses and large group vehicles use the main entrance on Liberty Avenue for drop-off, with designated bus and RV parking available in the main lot. For groups of 15 or more, Schlitterbahn offers group pricing — coordinate your arrival and bus parking with group sales at (830) 625-2351 in advance.
Confirm current bus parking assignments and seasonal hours on the Schlitterbahn website before your visit.
Address: 400 N Liberty Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130 Phone: (830) 625-2351
Freeman Coliseum
Freeman Coliseum is a Bexar County-owned arena with a capacity of approximately 11,000, hosting the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo each February, major concerts, family shows, and boxing events throughout the year. It sits about 50 miles southwest of San Marcos via I-35 S — roughly a 55-minute drive. Charter buses drop off at the main entrance on E Houston Street, with bus parking available in the large main lot on the east side of the complex.
The Freeman Coliseum and adjacent AT&T Center share parking infrastructure, so lots fill quickly on nights when both venues are active. Confirm current parking rates and bus assignments with the box office at (210) 207-3663 before your event.

AT&T Center is home to the San Antonio Spurs (NBA) and hosts major concerts, family shows, and college events, with a capacity of approximately 18,500 for basketball. Located about 50 miles southwest of San Marcos via I-35 S, it is one of the most popular San Antonio destinations for charter bus groups from the Hays County area. Charter buses use AT&T Center Parkway for approach and drop off passengers near the main entrance.
Bus and oversized vehicle parking is in the Blue Lot (the designated bus lot) on the east side of the complex, accessed via E Houston Street. Rideshare pickup is in a separate lot — confirm your group's meeting point before the event. Parking fees apply and vary by event; call the venue directly at (210) 444-5000 for details.

San Marcos Conference Center
San Marcos Conference Center is the largest conference and event facility in the San Marcos area, offering approximately 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space connected to the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Marcos Hotel. The center hosts corporate conferences, trade shows, conventions, weddings, and government meetings throughout the year. Its location just off I-35 at Exit 206 makes it one of the most coach-accessible venues in Hays County — full-size charter buses can pull directly into the hotel's large, flat surface parking lot for drop-off and staging without navigating narrow streets.
Whether you are shuttling attendees from Austin or San Antonio or moving a local team between the conference center and off-site dinners, a charter bus makes the logistics simple. Call the venue directly at (512) 392-6450 for venue details.
