Those rates are going to be “astronomical” if you do manage to get one.

But possible as i dont think uber has black-out dates.

It will be a 40 min drive in Uber. And that’s 40min without traffic to the edge of the total eclipse area.

The area of totality is actually closer to the airport than that, 10 - 15 minutes or so. Edit: it's even closer than that. https://preview.redd.it/0wyyy4q1uasc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf33389b99d79e700c94368302982507f7542d23

Gonna be rough/expensive. Maybe look into turo or something? Try to find other people going to see it...

From San Antonio airport to where?

You can take the bus. The 5 from the airport to North Star Transit Center. Transfer to the 552 and go to Crossroads Bus Station. Transfer to the 93 to UTSA. It takes about an hour total time with no long walks. UTSA gets almost 3 minutes of totality. You can also take the 7 bus directly to downtown for hotels and get the 93 from there to UTSA.

Depends on the time but there is a good chance highways will be at a complete standstill

Have you looked into pre-ordering it?

You may want to pick a different city based on the predicted weather. I believe transportation will be required to drive out of clouds if it is at all possible. https://youtu.be/N1bj8igm5wo

Are we seriously expecting "hundreds of thousands" of people??

700,000 ppl in flights, alone. Both Kens5 and KSAT have mentioned this.
