Customer Testimonial: Martha R. – The Woodlands, TX
Our Story Starts with Chaos It was mid-July, Houston humidity levels were through the roof, and my husband and I had a morning flight taking us and our two kids, ages 7 and 3, to Cancun for a long-awaited beach vacation. We debated driving or taking a rideshare to the airport, but everything about airport logistics exhausted me just thinking about it. I Googled airport shuttle services and found Texas Shuttle. The reviews were strong, and I appreciated that their website made it easy to book ahead and get confirmation quickly. Booking Was Incredibly Easy We reserved a private shuttle for our 6 a.m. pickup, scheduled one week out. Immediately, I received confirmation with details on my driver, pickup point, and updates. Two days before our trip, we got an automatic text reminding us with a reconfirmation. Texas heat and toddlers make for a tense combo, so predictability and good communication made all the difference.
The Day of Travel Our driver, Rafael, arrived right on time—5:55 a.m.—and called me to say he was waiting outside. He even helped us load our luggage and installed our toddler’s booster seat without hesitation. The car was spotless, cool (thank goodness), and spacious enough for our double stroller and oversized luggage. Rafael was friendly but professional—not too chatty but still warm, which is ideal at sunrise when you’re balancing travel nerves and sleepy kids. Best of all? He knew backroad routes to the airport since there was an accident on I-45 that morning. With a rideshare, I’m almost certain we’d have been delayed. At George Bush Airport Rafael dropped us off right at Terminal E departures and even waited until we had all our bags out and the kids were secure. No rushing, no pressure. We were early, relaxed, and ready to start our vacation. The convenience and comfort truly exceeded our expectations. It was like VIP service but at a regular price. Return Trip the Following Week We anticipated some arrival confusion coming back due to jet lag, kids melting down, and customs lines. Texas Shuttle offered round-trip booking, so we set our pickup for 8:30 p.m. back at IAH. Our return flight arrived over 45 minutes late, and guess what? Our driver—Jose this time—monitored our flight and adjusted his arrival accordingly. No missed connections, no stress.
What Texas Shuttle Did Right Looking back, there were several elements that made Texas Shuttle stand apart from other transport services:
1. Flight Monitoring Both of our drivers knew our flight status and adjusted accordingly.
2. Professionalism & Cleanliness We rode in comfort—everything was clean, orderly, and perfectly timed.
3. Family-Friendly Service Booster seats, help with bags, and no groans or attitude over kids being kids.
4. Transparency No price surges, no vague pick-up instructions. Everything was clear.
5. Human Touch Though the company uses tech to manage scheduling, it never felt impersonal. We had someone looking out for us.
Tips from One Parent to Another If you’re traveling with kids, especially via DFW or Houston airports, I can’t stress enough how stressful the logistics can be without help. Texas Shuttle took the part I dreaded most and made it seamless.
For fellow parents, I’d recommend:
• Book at least 72 hours in advance, especially for family-sized shuttles
• Mention if you need a child seat or extra room for strollers
• Stick to morning flights when kids are more manageable
• Bring snacks and screens, even in the shuttle—it makes loading smoother
• Organize your confirmation details in one mobile folder for easy access
Final Verdict Traveling with kids is always going to have its share of surprises. But when you can account for the things you can control—like airport transportation—it makes a monumental difference. Texas Shuttle made me feel like my family mattered, and that sense of care means everything when you're trying to get somewhere safely, on time, and without drama. Thank you, Texas Shuttle. You've earned a loyal customer for life.
