This guide covers how ground transportation works in Houston: which airport suits which destination, where cars can actually collect you, when the city books out, and what to send us so a quote comes back right the first time.
The airports
| Code | Airport |
|---|---|
| IAH | George Bush Intercontinental |
| HOU | William P. Hobby |
| SGR | Sugar Land, private aviation |
George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) handles most scheduled traffic, with William P. Hobby (HOU), Sugar Land, private aviation (SGR) covering the rest.
Every airport pickup is tracked against your flight number. If the aircraft lands late, the pickup moves with it at no charge, and your chauffeur meets you inside at baggage claim with a name sign rather than waiting on the arrivals road.

Energy corridor and Medical Center trips are steady work here, along with cruise transfers down to Galveston, which is about an hour from downtown in normal traffic.
When the city is busy

Venues that generate regular work include the George R. Brown Convention Center, The Post Oak Hotel, NRG Stadium. For events at any of them, we agree the drop-off point in advance rather than discovering on the night that the entrance is closed to traffic.
Leaving town
