Excellent first time experience despite the outbound bus running 15 minutes late, I made it on time…read moreto Houston. This was a tough weekend, given all the activities in downtown Austin (SXSW), and I knew traffic could be nutty so I planned accordingly as this was a one-day trip (previous obligation). Happy to say that the outbound bus quickly completed the boarding process and we were on the road in no time, and arrived in Houston at 1:15pm. The driver and attendant were pleasant (apologies I can't recall their names). I did opt to enjoy a meal on board - the chicken club sandwich (with bacon) was decent. Inbound bus back to Austin was right on time and boarded quickly, and I made it home on time - 6:45pm arrival. No meal for me as food options were limited but I did enjoy snacks. Again, the driver and attendant were pleasant (kudos to consistency). In my opinion, this is money well spent due to the overall value of service, and especially if you want to avoid driving yourself. The bus itself is really spacious, clean bathroom, and the seats are comfortable. I managed to nap on both rides. I will definitely use Vonlane again for future travel to Houston or Dallas.

I looked online to review car services and decided on SherpaLux. Joe gave me a good quote within a couple hours. It was the best decision I could have made. The large SUV was beautiful and clean, and Joe was super friendly and courteous. The night was perfect and memorable for everyone. If you are looking for a professional and first class car service, please consider SherpaLux. You will not be disappointed.

Not exactly what I wanted to see at such a moment. As it turned out later, technically, the error was in our order, but it would be nice if this detail was spelled out more clearly. After the appeal, the situation was quickly corrected, and by the next stage of the incident we were waiting for a much more comfortable transport solution. This made a positive impression, especially considering that there was a reaction and a desire to correct the situation. The drivers were professional, the organization on the routes - without significant failures. There are things that can be improved in terms of communication and transparency in the choice of transport, but in general the experience remains rather positive.

The Ultimate Customer Service Story…read more We chartered a bus and coach for our daughter's wedding in Austin on March 30th. As the Father of the Bride I was shocked when the bus that showed up to bring our guests to the church was a school bus. After the ceremony I called Abdul to address my concern. After speaking to him it became clear that in reality the mistake was ours, not his. We had chartered a "transit" bus, which when you look on the website is a school bus. I wish the contract was more specific; as "school bus" certainly would have jumped out. But live and learn. Now to the good part. With my frustration high, Abdul was calm, cool and reasonable. He immediately realized I was not happy and kicked into high gear to see what he could do. While we had to take the school bus back to the hotel, by the time we left for the reception...less than one hour later...a gleaming full scale motor coach was sitting in front of the hotel instead of a school bus. Wow! I can't thank Abdul enough for stepping up. I was thoroughly impressed. When it comes to satisfying customers in a crisis, Austin Charter Services proves that it can still be done the old fashion way...do whatever you can to make your customer happy. I'll be back again some day for the next daughter. Thanks Abdul! Mike McCauley Argyle, TX P.S. The coach we ordered for the wedding party was perfect and the drivers were top notch.

They were at the pick up location on time and the drivers were even there to help us load in our things.

The bus had great AC and a good sound system w/ bluetooth. The Fly-Rides team were total professionals throughout the entire process. They are definitely going to be our go to shuttle service anytime we need one.

Thanks for being easy to work with and getting everyone onboard safety. I highly recommend!

Have ridden from Austin to Katy round-trip and Dallas to Houston. Each time, the driver seems to…read morehave an attitude problem or desire to flex their authority. Have seen the driver deny access to people waiting 4 minutes before departure time, not to mention the people who arrived less than 4 minutes to departure time, but still before departure time. Have also seen the driver on the Dallas to Houston trip make a student buy them snacks. Like when the student didn't immediately say okay to paying for his snacks, he stared her down and repeated himself until she got off the bus and walked to the counter to pay for his snacks. This is coercement. She probably only paid because she was afraid he'd leave her stranded at the midway stop instead of her destination. If this system wasn't essentially the only reliable way to travel between these cities without relying on carpooling with strangers, I would not be using it. One way tickets on Friday/Sunday were $30-$40 each on a random non holiday week, so the trip wasn't extremely cheap either.

There isn't an office/lounge/official waiting area location as it's usually gas stations or random street corners so you're exposed to the elements. However, it does get you from point A to point B. It's a service I use out of desperation when flight times don't make sense for my needs.

Don't want to drive to Austin? This is your answer. My friends and I booked our tickets online…read more We arrived at Fuel City Taco/Carwash to catch the bus on a Saturday morning. Arrived in Austin within 3ish hours. The sucky thing is the seats are really small. You are cramped up. The charging stations at each seat is just a plug. No USB charging here. The free wifi sucks as well. The good thing is if the bus isn't full you can move to another seat. Our first bus driver was a chatty Kathy, but I had earpods in and watched nexflix on my phone. Our driver on the way home gave a Sunday sermon before we left Austin and it was awkward. All in all. Put your earbuds in and sit back, relax (if there's room) and let someone else take the stress out of your drive to and from Austin. The drive goes by so fast. PS - looking at the photos - we did not get a double decker bus to or from Austin.

If you are not familiar with the Megabus system, it may be confusing especially with multiple buses…read moregoing to different locations. You can check in with the people inside the center by showing your ticket. It is always better to arrive early than late because the buses usually leave on time. I like how there is a waiting area. There are also restrooms. (There are restrooms on the bus too and they're usually clean). Most of the time, there is no Wi-Fi on the Megabus even though they do say they have it. Sometimes the outlets don't work so you should fully charge what you need. It is a good way for an inexpensive longer ride. They can be as low as $1 if you get them early. You do have to ride with strangers though.
