Upcoming events at Uptown Valet & Transportation

It's starting to feel like autumn in Austin and that means the fall wedding and event season is upon us. October is probably only behind May as the busiest wedding month in Austin, and we'll be working every weekend providing valet services, getaway limos for the bride and grooom, shuttle coordination and more at some of the nicest wedding venues in Austin. We worked this past weekend at Laguna Gloria and the evening weather was lovely, and there's only going to be more of that on the way.

The Austin City Limits Music Festival will occur from October 12-14 and will feature a lineup of some of the best artists in the country. While some of our employees will no doubt be enjoying the music, we will be able to handle most any request that comes our way. If you're coming into town and need a ride from the airport, we can help you out. If you've got a party going on that weekend (ACL-related and otherwise) and need valets to manage your guest cars, let us know.

Circuit of the Americas will bring Formula One racing to Austin and we are going to see all of our services booked up for that weekend.  We've been renting out our limousines and luxury cars for months now and getting some valet and shuttle work as well. If you're looking for anything transportation related around the Circuit of the Americas, let us know quickly so we can allocate everything we can to meet your needs.

There are a slew of other, smaller events going on as well. If you're coming into town for the Austin Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Texas Book Festival or any other event this season, let us know - chauffeur, airport transportation, shuttle services - whatever it is you need we'd be happy to help. Contact us or make a reservation today.

Four Years of Uptown Valet!

Uptown Valet celebrated our fourth birthday last week and we wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped us grow these past four years.

We sent out some baked goodies from Bake Sale Austin to express our thanks to the event coordinators, wedding planners, caterers and everyone else who we’ve enjoyed working with as we‘ve grown. Our good relations with event personnel help us stay in business and we’re thankful that they trust us enough to work their events and do a professional job.

The reason that we are able to do such a good job is our employees. They have transitioned with us as we have moved from a valet company to a full-service transportation company; they shift from valets to parking managers to shuttle coordinators and to chauffeurs as needed without missing a beat, and we couldn’t be the company we are today without the hard work put in by our employees.

We’re thankful for all of our patrons as well. Our word of mouth reputation means a lot of us and we’re always pleased to learn when we’ve gotten work because someone hiring out our services was so satisfied that they’d mention us to a friend.

We’re excited to move into our fifth year as we continue our transition towards becoming a one stop company for any and all transportation needs. More than just providing services, Uptown Valet and Transportation creates relationships; our friendships with planners and coordinators, patrons new and old, and with and amongst our employees are what define us as a company. and we look forward to celebrating our fifth anniversary with all these people, as well as plenty new ones, next year.

Uptown Valet to volunteer for Your Ride is Here

Uptown Valet is proud to announce that we have offered our services to Your Ride is Here, a non-profit company arranging transportation for cancer patients who might not otherwise have it. They take offers from volunteers to help with transportation and through our work with Concord Limousine we're able to volunteer our fleet of luxury vehicles. They recently were featured on CNN and have received attention as another one of their partners is John Eagle European - a luxury car dealership. We look forward to working with Your Ride is Here in the future and are happy for the opportunity to contribute back to our community.
