ABOUT US

Do you need to get to ABIA Austin Airport, IAH Houston Airport, or DFW Airport in Dallas? Why use a filthy taxicab with a rude, unreliable driver and a meter that just keeps running higher and higher in heavy traffic and at stop lights? And do you really trust a random, inexperienced Uber or Lyft driver to get you or your family safely to Houston or Dallas or San Antonio? There IS an alternative. Don't be fooled by our name...We are A CHEAP RIDETM,  a professional transportation service that has completed thousands of safe trips with many wonderful customers since 2006. We offer simple, low, flat-rate fares, without confusing meters, so you will know in advance what your ride will cost. We also understand that your long-overdue, highly-anticipated vacation, or even your much-dreaded, routine business trip begins with your ride to the airport. You shouldn’t have to worry whether the driver will show up on time, or if the ride will be a hassle and create even more anxiety. A CHEAP RIDETM not only offers affordable flat-rate fares, but we are always punctual and we realize that getting you to the airport or to your other destination safely, and on time is the most important part of our job. We are customers too, and believe that we should deliver the type of friendly, reliable service that we expect from those with which we do business ourselves. See many of our common flat-rate fares and more info by clicking on our SITE PAGES above.

A CHEAP RIDETM has been in business since 2006, and although we no longer offer immediate local taxi service, we still offer low, flat-rate fares on pre-scheduled transportation to anywhere in Texas from our base area in the Williamson and North Travis County area. We also offer service to all major airports in Texas from Hutto, Georgetown, Sun City, Taylor, Florence, Jarrell, Salado, Temple, Leander, Liberty Hill, Bertram, and Burnet. A CHEAP RIDETM  offers flat-rate fares that are cheaper in most cases than UberXL or LyftPlus, and we are also competitively priced with even the national, "shared-ride" shuttle services. But we provide exclusive, non-stop, private airport transportation service from your driveway to curbside at the airport for similarly low rates without requiring you to be ready hours early because we do not pick up other customers along the way. Please note that we are not a huge company, so we are not usually available for pickup on very short notice. All we ask is that you pre-schedule your trip and we will show up on time as requested. You and your family, or friends, are our only customers, so we will be there when YOU want us to be there. Just call us or text us at 512-310-8000 to check availability and get scheduled. There is no need to become a member, or download an app, or sign up using a smart phone, just to get a clean, comfortable, safe and affordable ride to your destination. We may be a little old-fashioned, but we have provided friendly, dependable service to thousands of satisfied customers for over 12 years. We simply offer better service at affordable rates. Please keep in mind that we often get booked in advance for early morning airport transportation, so our availability is limited for early morning pickup requests.

* Please note that we do not provide local taxi service within the City of Austin, nor do we provide local transportation originating at the Austin airport.

What We Do

We started as a local taxi service in Round Rock in 2006, but as we added regular airport transportation customers over the years, we began to receive more and more requests for pre-scheduled trips to the Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio airports because it is often cheaper and much easier to travel internationally from these hub airports. Since we offer simple, low, flat-rate fares, customers found our rates to be a much better value than the meter-based taxi services. We no longer offer local taxi service, but we offer airport transportation, as well as long-distance service to anywhere in Texas from our base area in Round Rock, Brushy Creek, Pflugerville, & Hutto. We also offer pre-scheduled trips from Taylor, Jonah, Georgetown, Sun City, Weir, Granger, Jarrell, Salado, Belton, Temple, Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, Burnet, and Marble Falls. 

We still have great flat-rate fares to ABIA Austin airport, the Megabus stop, the Amtrak station, area Greyhound stations and other destinations. However, if you need to go further, we offer some of the lowest private transportation rates to DFW Dallas-Ft. Worth airport, IAH Houston Bush Intercontinental airport, SAT San Antonio airport, as well as the Galveston cruise port. We can also get you to many other cities in Texas such as New Braunfels, San Marcos, Wimberley, Blanco, Johnson City, Fredricksburg, Kerrville, San Angelo, Lubbock, Llano, San Saba, Waco, Tyler, Longview, Texarkana, Beaumont, Victoria, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, Laredo, El Paso, Amarillo, or anywhere else in Texas you need to go.

Just give us a call and tell us where you are located and where you need to go, how many stops you need to make, any wait-time that will be necessary, total amount of luggage, and we will be happy to provide you with a flat-rate quote up front that you can use to compare rates with other companies. It is that simple. You can call us or text us at 512-310-8000, or complete the online form under the "Quotes / Reservations" page of this website to get a flat-rate quote on your next trip.

* Please keep in mind that we offer private transportation for each customer. We do not offer regular shared-ride shuttle service to these cities.
