Bus-Booking Firm Moving HQ to Austin, Adding 100 Jobs

CharterUp, which runs an online charter bus-booking platform, is moving its headquarters from Atlanta to Austin and plans to add 100 local jobs. Austin will serve as the company’s tech and product hub, while sales, customer service and financial services will remain in Atlanta. In October, CharterUp raised $60 million in a deal led by Austin-based Tritium Partners, which specializes in investing in online marketplaces, logistics and software companies.

At that time, CharterUp said the company had experienced more than 100% annual growth and had surpassed an annual revenue run of $150 million in 2022.

Founded in 2018, CharterUp works with companies, government organizations, schools, sports teams and private groups to contract and manage one-time or recurring bus services for events, group travel and employee commutes. The company says its goal is to let customers charter a bus in 60 seconds or less.
