Contact Austin Party Ride
Want to know if a Saturday in May is still open, whether a sprinter or a bus makes more sense for twelve, or how long to book a wedding shuttle from Georgetown? This is the place to ask. We are in Austin and we pick up the phone.

On this page you can:
What to ask us before you book
You don't need the whole night mapped out to reach out. Most people call with a date and a rough number of people, and we work out the rest together.
Sanity-Check the Plan
Wondering if four hours covers dinner on South Congress and three bars on Rainey? That is exactly the kind of thing to ask us.
Pick the Right Size
We will tell you straight whether your 18 people belong on a 20-passenger bus or should step up to a 22 for the coolers and the dresses.
Pickups Across Central Texas
Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, San Marcos, and the towns around them. We know how long each one takes to reach downtown on a Saturday.
A Person, Not a Ticket Queue
Call, text, email, or use the form. You get someone in Austin who can answer the question before you commit to anything.
Did You Know? Austin has over 250 live music venues, more per capita than any other U.S. city.
How it goes after you reach out
From the first message to the night the bus pulls up, this is the shape of it.
Say Hello
The date, roughly how many are coming, and what the occasion is. That is enough to start.
We Check the Calendar
We look at what is open on your date and which vehicles fit the group and the night you have in mind.
You Hear Back With a Price
We come back with the vehicle, the price, and honest notes on timing, pickup, or anything the route might run into.
Book It If It Fits
If the price works, a deposit holds the bus and driver, and we settle the pickup time and stops before the day.
Did You Know? The Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin is home to 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats — the largest urban bat colony in North America.
Where we pick up
Pickups run across Austin and the towns within about an hour of downtown, from Georgetown down to San Marcos and out to Lake Travis. Our mailing address is 8318 Hanbridge Ln, Austin, TX 78736, but there is no walk-in office there, so call or text rather than dropping by.
Prefer to Talk?
Some nights are easier to explain out loud. Call and tell us what you have in mind, and we will talk through which bus, how many hours, and whether the timing works with a Saturday downtown.
