San Marcos Airport Shuttle Services Your Group Can Trust
Cedarparkcharterbuscompany.com makes it incredibly easy to find airport transportation for groups traveling through Central Texas. The two major airports serving San Marcos are Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) (3600 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719), about 35 miles north via I-35, and San Antonio International Airport (SAT) (9800 Airport Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78216), about 55 miles south.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is about 35 miles north of San Marcos via I-35 — roughly 35 to 50 minutes off-peak, though I-35 congestion can push that to 60 to 75 minutes during Austin rush hours or Texas State game days. San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is about 55 miles south via I-35 — roughly 50 to 70 minutes. Both airports are well within range for a charter bus or minibus airport shuttle from San Marcos.
Build in extra buffer time on I-35 during major events and peak travel periods.
I-35 between San Marcos and Austin is consistently ranked among the most congested highway corridors in Texas. Austin rush hours (roughly 7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m.) back up northbound I-35 well south of the city, and major events — Texas State home football games, SXSW in March, UT Austin events, and Austin City Limits Music Festival — can turn a 35-mile drive into a two-hour ordeal. A charter bus or minibus keeps your whole group in one vehicle, lets everyone relax or stay productive instead of white-knuckling the steering wheel, and drops your group curbside at your destination instead of hunting for parking in Austin.
One bus, one flat rate, and none of the I-35 stress.
UFCU Bobcat Stadium is the home of Texas State Bobcats football. Charter bus drop-off and parking for Bobcats games is coordinated through Texas State Parking Services; buses typically stage along Aquarena Springs Drive and in designated lots near the stadium. Specific lot assignments vary by game and event, so it's strongly recommended to contact Texas State Parking Services at (512) 245-2355 before your visit to confirm current charter bus access and parking procedures.
Campus roads fill quickly on home Saturdays, so plan to arrive well before kickoff.
San Marcos is one of the best bases in Central Texas for Hill Country group day trips. Wimberley is about 20 miles west via RR 12 — roughly 25 minutes — and the Wimberley Square is a popular stop, with Wimberley Valley Winery a short drive further southwest in nearby Driftwood. New Braunfels is about 20 miles south via I-35, with Gruene Hall and Schlitterbahn Waterpark as major draws.
The Fredericksburg wine trail and the broader Hill Country wine country are about 90 minutes west. A charter bus or minibus keeps your group together for the whole day, handles the winding Hill Country roads, and means nobody has to stay sober to drive home. Compare day-trip buses from the network using the online form or call 512-540-8240!
Texas State home football games (August through November) are the single biggest demand driver in San Marcos — fan shuttles from Austin and San Antonio book out weeks in advance on big matchups. Texas State commencement ceremonies in May and December fill hotels and buses across the city. Prom season across Hays County school districts (April through May) is one of the busiest stretches of the year for party buses.
Spring Break in March kicks off river tubing season and brings a surge in group outings. Tax-free weekend in August draws enormous crowds to San Marcos Premium Outlets, and SXSW in Austin (March) tightens the entire I-35 corridor. Book early for any of these dates.
Absolutely — and it's one of the most popular uses for a charter bus or minibus in San Marcos! San Marcos Premium Outlets (3939 I-35 S, San Marcos, TX 78666) is one of the largest outlet malls in Texas, with about 145 stores. Groups from Austin, San Antonio, and across Central Texas regularly book buses for shopping day trips, especially during tax-free weekend in August, Black Friday, and the holiday shopping season.
A bus keeps your group together, handles the I-35 drive both ways, and means everyone can shop without worrying about who's driving. Use the online form or call 512-540-8240 to compare buses for your shopping trip!
For most trips in and around San Marcos, booking three to six months out gives you the best selection and the most competitive pricing. For high-demand dates, book even earlier: Texas State home football games, prom season (April–May), Texas State commencement (May and December), SXSW in Austin (March), and tax-free weekend at the outlets (August) all tighten the market fast. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from.
The earlier you compare, the better your options — call 512-540-8240 or use the online form right now to lock in your date!

See Where a San Marcos Charter Bus Can Take Your Group
For a city its size, San Marcos punches well above its weight in great group destinations — and with a bus from Cedarparkcharterbuscompany.com, every stop is easy. From natural wonders and live music to outlet shopping and Texas Hill Country wineries, here are six destinations your group will love arriving at together!
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
Wonder World Park
Wonder World Park (1000 Prospect St, San Marcos, TX 78666; Phone: (512) 392-3760) is Texas's most visited cave attraction and one of the most unique group destinations in Central Texas. The park features the Wonder Cave — formed by a fault-line earthquake rather than water erosion, making it geologically rare — plus an anti-gravity house and a wildlife park with white-tailed deer and other native animals. It's a favorite for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate group outings.
Bus-friendly surface parking is available in the large lot on Prospect Street. Tickets are purchased on-site; group rates are available by calling ahead. Open year-round; hours vary by season.
Meadows Center for Water and the Environment
Meadows Center for Water and the Environment (201 San Marcos Springs Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666; Phone: (512) 245-9200) sits on the banks of Spring Lake at Texas State University and offers one of the most distinctive group experiences in Texas: glass-bottom boat tours over crystal-clear spring water teeming with aquatic life. The spring-fed lake maintains a constant 72°F year-round and is home to rare and endangered species. The center is a popular destination for school field trips, eco-tourism groups, and corporate outings.
Bus access is via Aquarena Springs Drive; contact the center in advance for group reservations and current parking guidance.
San Marcos Premium Outlets
San Marcos Premium Outlets (3939 I-35 S, San Marcos, TX 78666; Phone: (512) 396-2200) is one of the largest outlet shopping destinations in Texas, with approximately 145 stores including major designer and name-brand retailers. It's a top destination for group shopping day trips from Austin, San Antonio, and across Central Texas — especially during tax-free weekend in August, Black Friday, and the holiday season. The property features large surface parking areas on the north and south ends, easily accommodating buses.
A charter bus or minibus means your group shops together, nobody drives I-35, and everyone's bags ride home in comfort.
Cheatham Street Warehouse
Cheatham Street Warehouse (119 Cheatham St, San Marcos, TX 78666; Phone: (512) 353-3777) is one of the most historically significant live music venues in Texas. George Strait performed some of his earliest shows here in the late 1970s, and the venue has launched countless Texas country careers since. Today it remains an intimate, authentic live music destination hosting local and touring acts year-round.
Parking in the immediate area is limited; a party bus or minibus drops your group right on Cheatham Street and handles the return trip, so everyone can enjoy the show without worrying about a ride home.
UFCU Bobcat Stadium
UFCU Bobcat Stadium is the home of Texas State Bobcats football, with a capacity of more than 30,000. Home game Saturdays in the fall are among the biggest events in San Marcos, drawing fans from across Central Texas and filling campus roads and nearby parking quickly. The Bobcats compete in the Sun Belt Conference, and big matchups sell out well in advance.
Charter buses and party buses are a popular choice for fan groups traveling from Austin and San Antonio, keeping everyone together for the tailgate and the game. Contact Texas State Parking Services at (512) 245-2355 for current charter bus access and lot assignments before your visit.
Wimberley Valley Winery
Wimberley Valley Winery (2825 Lone Man Mountain Rd, Driftwood, TX 78619; Phone: (512) 847-2592) is one of the most visited wineries in the Texas Hill Country and a natural anchor for a group wine tour from San Marcos. Located about 25 miles southwest of San Marcos in the community of Driftwood, the winery offers tastings, a tasting room, and beautiful Hill Country scenery. It pairs well with a stop in nearby Wimberley Square for lunch and browsing local shops.
The winding Hill Country roads are scenic but not the place to navigate after a few tastings — a minibus or charter bus keeps your group safe and the celebration going all the way back to San Marcos.
