Stop Calling Company After Company for Airport Transportation Quotes
Newbraunfelscharterbusrentals.com is not a bus company — and that is exactly the point.

Fill out one form and you land on a results page showing different vehicles, photos, amenities, and pricing side by side — from a network of companies, not just one.
A support team is also available every day of the year at 830-302-2770 to answer questions, walk through your options, and put together a custom package around your group size, your pickup location, and your flight time. One form. Options.
No waiting for callbacks to get pricing required.
More Buses, More Options for Your Airport Transportation
Not every airport run looks the same, and the network reflects that. Need a compact sprinter van to move eight colleagues from a Loop 337 hotel to SAT for an early departure? Done.
Coordinating a 15- to 35-passenger minibus for a wedding party flying into AUS and heading to Gruene? It's right there. Organizing a 56-passenger charter bus for a conference group arriving at San Antonio International and transferring to the McKenna Events Center?
Compare those options in seconds. Every vehicle in the network comes with climate control and overhead storage, and many models include reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays — so your group arrives rested, not wrinkled.

San Antonio International Airport (SAT) Shuttle Buses From New Braunfels
At roughly 30 miles southwest via I-35 S, San Antonio International Airport (SAT) (9800 Airport Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78216) is the closest commercial airport to New Braunfels — but "close" and "quick" are two different things on I-35. Off-peak, the drive runs 35 to 45 minutes. During morning rush heading south or afternoon rush heading north, that same stretch through Selma and Loop 410 regularly stretches past 70 minutes.
A charter bus or minibus handles the timing so your group boards together, luggage accounted for, instead of splitting into four cars and hoping everyone finds parking before the flight closes. Charter bus pickup and drop-off at SAT operates curbside at the Ground Transportation zones on the Arrivals level of both Terminal A and Terminal B. SAT is in Phase I of curbside construction through December 2026, with two of the four lanes at the far end of Terminal B closed; the SAT construction page carries the current access details. Your bus still reaches the terminal curb, but you should leave extra time for reduced curb space so everyone stays together.
Confirm current curbside access on the flySAT ground transportation page before your trip.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) Charter Buses From New Braunfels
AUS is 48 miles north of New Braunfels, and the I-35 corridor between here and Austin is one of the most consistently congested stretches of highway in Texas. According to the INRIX 2024 Global Traffic Scorecard, Austin ranks among the top 15 most congested metros in the country — and the approach through Kyle and Buda is where groups heading to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) (3600 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719) feel it hardest. Add 30 to 45 minutes to any departure time during weekday rush hours.
A charter bus or minibus from New Braunfels takes the stress of timing off your group entirely. At AUS, charter bus pickup and drop-off is coordinated through the Ground Transportation Center (GTC) on the Arrivals/Ground level of the Barbara Jordan Terminal. AUS does not allow charter buses to stage on terminal curbs; vehicles wait in designated staging areas and move up only for immediate loading after flight arrival is confirmed at the GTSA, as detailed in the AUS charter-service ground transportation rules.
Your bus waits off the active curb until your group and luggage are ready, then pulls forward instead of circling the terminal. Review current commercial vehicle access on the Austin-Bergstrom ground transportation page ahead of your trip.
Hotel and Resort Shuttle Buses to SAT and AUS
New Braunfels hotel pickups are straightforward when your group is staying along the I-35 frontage road near Seguin Avenue, Loop 337, or Business I-35 — the main hotel corridor running through town. Properties like the Embassy Suites, Courtyard Marriott, Hampton Inn, and La Quinta all sit within a few minutes of I-35, which means your bus gets on the highway fast and stays on it all the way to the terminal. Multi-hotel loops are easy to set up through the network, too.
List your stops in the quote form — or call 830-302-2770 and a live agent will map the pickup sequence and work backward from your flight time so the last passenger boards with time to spare. One bus, one departure, no caravan.
Group Airport Transfers for Wurstfest, Schlitterbahn, and New Braunfels Events
New Braunfels draws big groups year-round, and many of them fly in. Wurstfest at Landa Park pulls more than 100,000 visitors to town each November, and coordinating airport arrivals from SAT or AUS for a large group — without turning the I-35 drive into a relay race of rideshares — is where a charter bus earns its keep. The same logic applies to group trips to Schlitterbahn Waterpark (400 N Liberty Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130), corporate events at the McKenna Events Center (801 W San Antonio St, New Braunfels, TX 78130), and weddings in the Gruene Historic District.
One bus picks everyone up at the terminal together, runs a single transfer, and delivers the whole group to the venue. No one waits at baggage claim while the rest of the party is already at the hotel bar.
At Wurstfest, the tour-bus route leaves I-35 at Exit 189/Loop 337, follows Common Street, N. Union Avenue, W. Torrey Street, Elizabeth Avenue, and Hinman Island Drive, and unloads over the railroad tracks on Hinman Avenue; buses stage on Hinman Avenue or Prince Solms. Your bus can return to Hinman Island when you call after everyone walks back, while busy nights may send it to stage at Prince Solms Park — see the Wurstfest bus route and arrival instructions.
Festival traffic has its own rules: Landa Street runs one-way eastbound, westbound traffic on Seguin and Landa is turned around before the bridge, Hinman Island Drive is closed, and Elizabeth Avenue is reserved for tour-bus traffic; the Wurstfest road-closure guide maps the approach your bus needs.
Long-Distance Airport Connections Beyond San Antonio and Austin
Some groups fly into Dallas/Fort Worth or Houston and need ground transportation the rest of the way. A 56-passenger charter bus from New Braunfels to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) covers roughly 250 miles up I-35 N — about four hours off-peak. A run to Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) runs about 190 miles east on I-10, closer to three hours.
Full-size motorcoaches built for that kind of distance come with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, individual power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays sized to handle checked-bag loads — so the drive is productive or restful depending on what your group needs. Compare long-distance airport charter buses from a network of providers serving New Braunfels through one quick form, or call 830-302-2770 to build a custom package around your route.

Newbraunfelscharterbusrentals.com helps you find airport transportation across the entire I-35 corridor and beyond — not just inside New Braunfels city limits.

San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is the closest commercial airport at roughly 30 miles southwest via I-35 S — about 35 to 45 minutes off-peak. I-35 through the Selma interchange and Loop 410 backs up significantly during morning and evening rush, pushing that to 70 minutes or more. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is 48 miles north, with the Kyle and Buda stretch of I-35 adding the most delay during peak hours.
Build at least 30 minutes of buffer on top of the drive time for any commercial flight.
Charter bus pickup and drop-off at SAT operates curbside at the Ground Transportation zones on the Arrivals level of both Terminal A and Terminal B. Commercial vehicles stage in a holding area off Airport Boulevard and pull to the curb once your full group is assembled with luggage — curbside idling is not permitted. Tell your group to gather completely before calling the bus forward. Confirm current zone assignments on the flySAT ground transportation page before your trip date.
At AUS, charter bus and commercial vehicle pickup is coordinated through the Ground Transportation Center (GTC) on the Arrivals/Ground level of the Barbara Jordan Terminal. The GTC is accessed from Presidential Boulevard. As with SAT, buses stage off the active curb and pull forward once your group is together and luggage is in hand — calling the bus while passengers are still at baggage claim adds a full loop to your wait.
Review current commercial vehicle access on the Austin-Bergstrom ground transportation page ahead of your departure date.
For most trips, two to four weeks out is workable. For high-demand dates — Wurstfest in early November, peak summer Schlitterbahn season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and Comal County Fairgrounds events — book six to eight weeks out or earlier. For 2026, Wurstfest runs November 6–15; the official Wurstfest 2026 dates are already posted.
Your bus should be booked before that ten-day festival window fills the I-35 corridor. The I-35 corridor between New Braunfels, San Marcos, and San Antonio is one of the busiest stretches in Texas, and vehicles serving this market get committed fast on event weekends. Waiting until the last week almost always costs more and narrows your options.
Yes, and multi-stop hotel loops are one of the most common airport setups booked through the network. A typical New Braunfels run might hit the Embassy Suites on I-35, a second property near Loop 337, and a third near Seguin Avenue before heading southwest to SAT or north to AUS. Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when building your departure time, and list your stops in order when you fill out the quote form — or call 830-302-2770 and a live agent will sequence the route and price the full run for you.
