Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from San Antonio Airport (SAT) to hotels and homes downtown and along the River Walk, the Pearl, Stone Oak, La Cantera and SeaWorld, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from San Antonio International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in San Antonio takes you from SAT to hotels along the River Walk and around the Alamo, the Henry B. González Convention Center and the Pearl, and to neighborhoods and resorts across the city, from Alamo Heights and Stone Oak to La Cantera, Six Flags Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld San Antonio.
San Antonio airport transfers start in baggage claim of the terminal where your flight lands, Terminal B for American and United or Terminal A for most other airlines and every international flight, where your driver waits with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for each vehicle is fixed and agreed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group.
Each San Antonio airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, home or vacation rental downtown, on the River Walk, in Stone Oak or out at La Cantera and SeaWorld. Heading on to New Braunfels, the Hill Country or Austin? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.
Our San Antonio airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared ride that stops at other hotels on the way downtown. It suits families, groups heading to the River Walk or SeaWorld, and anyone landing with a lot of luggage.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

San Antonio International Airport (SAT) sits north of downtown, with two terminals side by side and linked inside the building. American and United use Terminal B; Southwest, Delta and most other airlines use Terminal A.
Flights from Mexico and other international airports arrive at Terminal A, where you go through U.S. passport control, collect your bags and clear customs before reaching the public area. Domestic arrivals and flights from Toronto, which clear U.S. preclearance in Canada, go straight to baggage claim on the lower level of their terminal, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
San Antonio is on U.S. Central Time (UTC-6), switching to UTC-5 for daylight saving time from March to November, and uses the U.S. dollar.
Entering the United States. International visitors need a valid passport and either an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program or a U.S. visa, depending on nationality, and clear U.S. Customs at Terminal A. Check the current rules for your nationality before you fly.
Terminal A or Terminal B. The two terminals have separate baggage claim areas, so give your airline and arrival terminal when you book; United flights can use either terminal.
River Walk hotels. Many downtown hotels have their entrance on the street above the River Walk, and some downtown streets close for events and parades, so give your hotel's street address; your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
Military bases. Joint Base San Antonio sites such as Lackland and Fort Sam Houston need base access, so give a pickup or drop-off address outside the gate unless your access has been arranged.
