How to Organize Transportation for Large Company Events in Austin

Planning transportation for a major corporate event in Austin? Y'all know getting everyone from point A to point B (and maybe C and D) can be trickier than finding parking during SXSW. But don't worry - we've got your back with this comprehensive guide to keeping your team moving smoothly through the ATX.

Understanding Your Transportation Needs

First things first - you'll need to nail down your headcount and timeline. A successful 300-person corporate event at Fairmont Austin requires different logistics than a 50-person team outing to The Oasis on Lake Travis. Consider:

• Total number of attendees
• Multiple pickup/dropoff locations
• Event duration and schedule
• Special accommodation needs
• Budget per person

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far in advance should I book transportation for a large corporate event?

A: For groups of 100+ people, book at least 3 months in advance. During peak seasons (March-May, September-November), consider booking 4-6 months ahead.

Q: What's the best transportation option for a 200-person corporate event?

A: Usually a combination of 3-4 charter buses (56-passenger) provides the most cost-effective solution. This allows for flexible arrival/departure times and backup capacity.

Q: Can we serve alcohol on corporate transportation?

A: Yes, but it must be arranged through licensed providers. Party On Delivery can coordinate mobile bar service and ensure all necessary permits are in place.
