Get ready to ride, Texas. Vonlane, the fancy ride you didn't know you needed, is rolling out daily luxury motor coach service between Plano and North Austin. For the first time ever, travelers between the booming hubs of Collin County and North Austin can skip the stop-and-go (and road rage) with Vonlane — offering a smooth, non-stop ride.
Starting Feb. 28, 2025, Vonlane is taking its first step into the suburban world — making the three-plus hour drive ride a little more bearable.
A First Class Ride
Expect Vonlane's signature luxe experience: 22 first-class leather seats, plenty of workspace, free Wi-Fi and an onboard attendant delivering premium service with snacks, meals and drinks all included. It’s basically flying on the ground!
“With the new direct service between North Dallas and North Austin, we’re bringing first-class travel closer to where people live, work and play — something airlines can’t do,” said Alex Danza, founder and CEO of Vonlane, in an official statement. “We’re excited to offer our suburban passengers more convenience, less hassle of driving, and ample free time to get work done or simply to relax aboard one of our coaches. You’ll never have a better experience traveling along Interstate 35.”

Two new terminals and hotel partners support this route:
- Dallas-North Terminal: Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West (6007 Legacy Dr, Plano)
- Austin-North Terminal: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin Northwest Arboretum (8901 Business Park Dr, Austin)
