SXSW Transportation

It's not yet February, but we're already gearing up for the week of SXSW. If you're coming into town for South by Southwest or planning events throughout the week and need transportation services let us know. We are a local, full-service transportation company able to provide for any of your transportation needs - both for South by Southwest or any other time through the year. We recently provided a host of services centered around the Formula 1 weekend back in November. Valet parking, chauffeur services, shuttle management and transportation, pick and drop-off from Austin's airport and more - our wide range of services were all used throughout the weekend. Check out our recap of that week.

If you're looking for any transportation services centered around South by Southwest, we'll be able to help. We can manage car service, airport transportation, shuttles, provide chauffeur services either in our fleet of available vehicles or in vehicles you request, provide valet services for your parties, concerts or events, and many other options. No service is too small or large and we rarely encounter a request related to transportation which we're not able to assist with.

We had a host of SXSW-related services in use last year and we're already getting our calendar filled out for this year's show. Contact Us for more info or use the contact form below - we hope to hear from you soon.

F1 Weekend Review

Uptown Valet and Transportation had our busiest weekend ever with the Formula One races in Austin back in November. We had a host of parties to valet at, our chauffeurs working round the clock and official Circuit of the Americas shuttles to drive and manage.

We started back in August, with the Circuit of the Americas Shift into Style Austin Fashion Week kick-off. A busy event at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, it was an exciting night and an excellent combination of events, as Circuit of the Americans and Austin Fashion Week both know how to put on a show.

The weekend of the races, we had valet attendants at multiple parties Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. We parked more cars in that time than probably any three day period, with venues ranging from southeast Austin near the track, to downtown, to out closer to Johnson City where we parked cars for a party sponsored by Ferrari. Read our write-up of it here.

We also had shuttles wrapped with Circuit of the Americas branding in service throughout the weekend in addition to our chauffeurs working in all our cars as well as some that we made use of just for the weekend.  We closed out the weekend by returning to the Bob Bullock Museum, managing parking for the Circuit of the Americas Official After Party.

It was a busy weekend that we were happy to have gotten through well. Our staff and the people we worked with all weekend long were fantastic, and we look forward to working on Circuit of the Americas F1 events in Austin in 2013.

If you're interested in our valet, chauffeur, shuttle management, or any of our other services, please don't hesitate to Contact Us today.

Venue Highlight - Laguna Gloria

We have had a good amount of work at Laguna Gloria throughout the years and have decided to highlight it on our blog so readers can get some more insight into what we do. Laguna Gloria is a lovely waterside venue, art school and museum that has been an Austin event mainstay for years and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Driscoll Villa is the centerpiece of the venue but the ample gardens and amphitheater are where any wedding ceremonies, receptions, or larger gatherings will take place.

On our side of things, there are many parking places located but a short run away on the museum grounds as well as street parking and a grass lot below the venue. The lots on the grounds themselves can get a bit tight but we are able to keep cars within the property for the majority of our events. Most of our events at Laguna Gloria are weddings - since it's a versatile venue we might work with around 50 guests one weekend and then 200+ the next.

In addition to valet work, we've also managed shuttles, driven guests in golf carts, and picked up the bride and groom in limos at Laguna Gloria. Laguna Gloria is one of Austin's most popular wedding venues, and it's one we have years of experience and enjoyment working at. If you're planning a wedding at Laguna Gloria or any other event we hope you will contact us so we may help your event run smoothly.
