Austin Airport Pickup Information
Flying into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport? Here is how airport pickup and travel to our lot works.
Getting From the Terminal to Pickup
If you selected airport parking pickup, your vehicle is placed in an approved AUS parking area — no rental counter line needed:
- Exit the terminal at Baggage Claim (lower level).
- Head to the Red Garage, about 5 minutes on foot — vehicles are usually parked in the Short Term Lot on the 3rd floor.
- Find your vehicle using the remote-access or key-retrieval instructions we send before you arrive.
If you didn't select delivery, you'll pick up your vehicle at our lot instead (about 15 minutes from AUS) — head to the Red Garage rideshare/taxi area and order an Uber or Lyft there; we'll send the exact lot address before you arrive.
We do not ask renters to meet at the terminal curb. Airport pickup uses confirmed parking or lot instructions sent before your rental.
For full pickup details, delivery instructions, rental requirements, mileage, fuel, charging, and returns, read our airport rental FAQ.
Airport Parking Pickup Breakdown
We offer airport pickup options for travelers arriving at AUS. Pickup details are confirmed before your rental, including the approved parking area, row, space, and key or remote-access instructions when applicable.
Vehicle Inspection & Pickup
Before driving away, complete your vehicle inspection, confirm fuel or charge level, and review the rental terms.
Return Instructions
Return instructions will be provided before the end of your rental. Please return the vehicle on time and in the same condition it was received.
What Renters Are Saying
4.9 rating across 180+ trips on Turo — a few in their own words.
“I sat in the back seat of this van for over 20 hours during my 5 day journey… it quickly became a home away from home. Spacious, durable, and rode through dust, sand, heat, and dirt. I would rent this car every time I rent a vehicle.”
“Car was clean and delivered to me on time. The host also allowed me to change my trip to better accommodate my needs. Would book again.”
“First time using Turo. Very easy from start to finish. Great vehicle and host! Thank you.”
“Flexible and polite host! Car was clean and comfortable. Thank you!”
