Newbie Guide to Austin

It can be daunting to move to a new city but if you are coming to US for the first then it is even more nerve wrecking.
To help you ease into US and Seattle area life we have created this page with quick links to help you guide through everything that you will need.
If we are missing any information then please feel free to email us at support@austinindian.com

Getting from Airport to the Austin and nearby cities

  • Taxi and Limousines are the best way to get from airport to any suburbs that you are trying to get to. Taxi fare can range from $20-$100 depending on how far are you going. It is advisable to contact one of the advertisers listed here because you are likely to get a better rate. Feel free to mention AustinIndian.com
  • Buses are another option but you will have to get one from the International Blvd. next to the airport and might take a lot longer.
  • Airport shuttle is yet another option. Shuttle might be faster than bus but slower than taxi.

Finding a place to stay
  • You can find temporary or permanent place to live by searching or placing a classified ad in under Roommates and Rentals category.
  • We also have a list of Apartment in and around Seattle area in the business listing sections. International Blvd. next to the airport and might take a lot longer.
