Driving in and around Austin Bergstrom International Airport
Austin Bergstrom International Airport lies southeast of the city, close to the roads that feed directly into Austin's centre. With car hire at Austin Bergstrom Airport, the main route toward Downtown runs along TX-71, taking you past the Colorado River and into the city's central districts. Once in the city, Interstate 35 is the main north to south artery, linking neighbourhoods, business areas, and suburbs across Austin.
Traffic builds quickly during weekday commute hours, particularly along I-35 and around Downtown exits. Outside those windows, the drive into the city is usually smooth and short. Parking in central Austin is easiest in garages, especially near entertainment areas where street spaces fill quickly. Pay attention to posted time limits and residential permit zones when using street parking. Texas law requires seatbelts for all passengers and restricts handheld phone use while driving.
