The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix returns to Circuit of The Americas October 23–25, 2026 — three days of racing, concerts, and events that turn Austin into the center of the motorsport world. Here’s how to handle transportation so the weekend is about the race, not the logistics.
The Weekend at a Glance
Racing runs Friday through Sunday: practice sessions on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, and the Grand Prix itself on Sunday afternoon. Many fans also arrive Thursday to settle in. With tens of thousands of visitors in town, plan every leg of your transportation in advance — race weekend is not the time to wing it.
Start at the Airport
Most out-of-town fans fly into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and arrival day during F1 weekend means long rideshare lines and surge pricing. Arrange your airport pickup ahead of time: your chauffeur meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to your hotel while everyone else waits. Book your departure-day pickup the same way and skip the stress entirely.
Getting to COTA on Race Days
Circuit of The Americas sits southeast of downtown Austin, and traffic around the track on race days is intense — with limited parking and long walks from the lots. A chauffeured ride is the smooth solution: door-to-door pickup from your hotel or rental, drop-off near the circuit, and a prearranged pickup spot after the race. No parking lots, no shuttle lines, no long trek in the Texas heat.
Bringing a Group? Go Bigger
F1 weekend is a group affair — friends traveling together, corporate hospitality, client entertainment. Our Mercedes Sprinter (up to 10 passengers) keeps your whole crew together for the ride to and from the track, and our mini bus (up to 26 passengers) handles bigger groups and staff shuttles. Everyone arrives together, nobody drives, and the day starts the moment you leave.
Beyond the Track
The Grand Prix weekend isn’t only about racing — there are concerts, fan zones, and Austin’s famous nightlife all weekend long. Having a chauffeur on call means dinner downtown, an afterparty, and the ride back to your hotel are all handled with one booking.
Book Before the Rush
F1 weekend is one of the busiest transportation weekends of the year in Austin. Vehicles book up weeks in advance, and last-minute options are slim. If you’re coming to the race, reserve your transportation now — it’s the simplest way to guarantee your weekend goes smoothly.
