What is the cheapest way to get from San Antonio to Austin?
Flights are about $80 cheaper for me to go to San Antonio, so if I could get to Austin roundtrip for under $30 I'd probably do it.

It is 80 miles. That's about 6 gallons of gas for the round trip. That'd be what, 15-16 dollars? Austin is 80 miles north of San Antonio. The flight actually takes longer than the drive.

Greyhound Bus. $20. 90 minutes. The cost of gas is not the whole cost of travel by car. The real cost of auto travel is about 45 cents per mile. A car trip of 80 miles costs about $36.00.

Besides walking, the cheapest method is driving. The current lowest fuel price for regular gas in San Antonio is $2.06 per gallon. If your car gets an average 22 miles per gallon you would pay 14.83 for the round trip. Now one responder estimates the cost at $0.45 per mile and gives an estimate for driving at $72.00 for the round trip, meaning that there is about $57 in wear and tear on your car. I hope you drive better than a person who puts $57 in wear and tear on their car every 180 miles. Of course that includes the cost of insurance and other costs which your car would have sitting in a parking lot in San Antonio if you didn't take it. If you don't have a car, Greyhound is $38-$44 round trip. Amtrak from San Antonio to Austin is $30 round trip. Flying from San Antonio to Austin is time consuming and difficult.

Drive!

Definitely car or bus. It will actually take longer to fly than drive because you have to check-in, luggage, go through security, then wait for take-off. Plus when you land you have to get your bags and everything. So whatever you do, the cheapest and fastest way is not by flying.' Good luck! lauren
