Race Weekend in Austin

F1 United States Grand Prix Transportation to COTA

Race weekend: October 22–25, 2026

Skip the parking lots and the rideshare scramble. Carey of Austin provides chauffeured sedans, SUVs and luxury vans between your hotel, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Circuit of the Americas all weekend long.

Every fall, the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix brings one of the biggest crowds of the year to Austin. Circuit of the Americas sits in southeast Travis County, and on race weekend the roads around the track are heavily managed. According to COTA, vehicles without a valid parking pass cannot access COTA Boulevard during the Grand Prix. Planning your ride ahead of time matters.

A Carey chauffeur takes care of the driving, the routing and the timing. You arrive rested, and when the day is over your car is ready for you. No hunting for a lot, no surge pricing, no waiting on a rideshare that can’t get through traffic.

Planning Tips for Race Weekend

  • Book early. Race weekend is one of Austin’s busiest weekends of the year for hotels and ground transportation, and vehicles fill up well in advance.
  • Tell us your ticket and schedule. Knowing which days you’re attending and where you’re seated helps us plan the best drop-off and pick-up timing.
  • Plan for post-race traffic. Crowds leave all at once after the checkered flag. Your chauffeur will confirm a pickup plan with you so you’re not left guessing.
  • Groups ride better together. One luxury van is often simpler and more cost-effective than several separate cars for a group of friends or colleagues.
