The Austin Convention Center is closed for its rebuild, scheduled to finish in 2029, so the 2026 edition spread across downtown hotels and venues. Check the official SXSW schedule for the 2027 venues. Mega Ride USA is not affiliated with SXSW.
What we book for SXSW
Every ride of the week, on one plan.
Airport arrivals
Pickups at Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) timed to the flight, straight to the hotel, for speakers, artists and teams.
Hotel and venue runs
Point to point between hotels, panels and showcases, booked ahead instead of hailed on a crowded street.
Hourly for the day
A car and chauffeur by the hour that waits between sessions and moves when you do.
Sprinters for teams
Mercedes-Benz Sprinters seat up to 14 for crews, bands and delegations moving together.
Late nights
Pickups after the last showcase are part of the booking from the start, not a search at 2 a.m.
Pickup points that work
Downtown fills up during the festival. Dispatch sets the pickup at a hotel entrance or a corner off the busiest blocks and tells the passenger exactly where.

Questions
SXSW transportation, answered.
When is SXSW 2027?
March 15 to 21, 2027, in Austin. Innovation runs March 15 to 20, Film & TV and Music run March 15 to 21, and Comedy runs March 17 to 20.
How early should we book?
As soon as you know the arrivals and the hotel. Festival week is one of the busiest weeks downtown, and dispatch plans the week more easily with the schedule in hand.
Can one booking cover a whole team for the week?
Yes. Send the arrivals, hotels, venues and headcount, and dispatch plans the rides around them, combining sedans, SUVs and Sprinters.
Where will the chauffeur pick us up downtown?
At a set point: a hotel entrance or a corner off the busiest streets. Dispatch confirms it with the passenger before the ride.
Is the price fixed?
You see the price before you book, and your card is charged when you book. Dispatch confirms the final fare before the ride.
Do you only cover SXSW?
No. The same service runs for Formula 1 at Circuit of the Americas, concerts at Moody Center, matches at Q2 Stadium and events all year.
Book SXSW before downtown fills up.
Send the week and let dispatch take it from there.
