From AUS, it’s about 20 minutes on TX‑71 to downtown and an hour to the Hill Country via US‑290—great terrain for a roomy people‑mover. If you’re arriving for SXSW, ACL Fest, or a packed game weekend, larger vehicles can sell out quickly, so reservations matter.
Begin your search at Austin–Bergstrom’s dedicated page for car rental. You can also browse equivalent car hire choices if you prefer. For groups, compare seating layouts and luggage height carefully: 10–12 passenger vans maximize seats, while minivans balance comfort with parking ease.
Vehicles that actually fit your plans
For maximum capacity, check van rental in Austin and filter for 10–12 passenger models. If you want easier maneuvering on downtown’s one‑way streets, explore minivan options at AUS. Think about cargo—band gear, strollers, or coolers—before locking your class.
How to secure scarce inventory
- Reserve early for spring and fall events; supply tightens weeks in advance.
- Choose one primary driver and add others up front to avoid desk delays.
- Confirm luggage dimensions, not just seat count; bring soft bags for flexibility.
- Check vehicle height if you plan to park in garages along Congress Ave.
- Return on time; 24‑hour bookings keep costs predictable.
