Taxis are available outside baggage claim, and will run about $24(estimated) to or from the hotel. This is definitely the most comfortable and fastest option - and if you can plan to arrive/depart around the same time as other attendees and split the fare, it is a reasonable expense. Expect to spend about 20 minutes in transit from gate to door. The Super Shuttle is about $12 per person one way. Near the Austin airport baggage claim there is a counter (look for the blue sign) where you can catch the next shuttle with no reservation needed, payable by cash or credit card. The hotel can arrange for the shuttle back at the end of your trip; you will need cash to pay the driver for that run. Expect to spend about 30 minutes in transit from gate to door. The most affordable option is the 50-cent Airport Flyer, an Austin bus service with a stop less than a block from the hotel. Expect to spend 45-60 minutes in transit from gate to door.
