Visiting the Alamo or the River Walk? Downtown is covered, but the car can only stop at street level. Pick a pickup point on a cross street rather than inside the busiest blocks.

- Collect your bags first, then request the ride in the Waymo app.

See Waymo at the airport for luggage tips and the other airports Waymo serves.
Weather pauses
San Antonio's flash floods have caused trouble for robotaxis. In May 2026, Waymo suspended service in San Antonio and Atlanta while it worked on avoiding flooded roads, and service has since returned. During flood warnings, expect rides to be limited. See Waymo hours and weather.
San Antonio tips
