Brownsville to IAH Airport Shuttle
Texas Shuttle runs private, door-to-door shuttle service from Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) — about 357 miles of driving per Travelmath, the longest Valley-to-Houston lane we operate. When Brownsville/South Padre Island International doesn't have the nonstop you need, one reserved vehicle takes you from your door in Brownsville, Olmito, or Rancho Viejo all the way to the IAH curb, 24/7, at a locked flat rate.
What to Expect on the Brownsville to IAH Route
This is a full-day intercity run planned like a private charter. Here is how we operate it.
Where we drop you at IAH
For departures, we take you curbside at your airline's terminal (A through E) on the departures level — tell us your airline at booking so we plan the right curb. For arrivals into IAH headed back to Brownsville, your driver meets you at the Ground Transportation area outside baggage claim and texts you the driver's name, vehicle, and live location when you land. We track the inbound flight, so a delay moves your pickup automatically at no extra fee for normal delays.
The drive itself
The Brownsville to IAH drive is about 357 miles (Travelmath) up US-77/US-281 through Harlingen, Kingsville, and Corpus Christi, then I-37 and I-69/US-59 into Houston and north to the airport. Plan on 5.5 to 6 hours door-to-door in normal conditions; we build a rest stop into runs of this length and leave a buffer for Houston traffic on the IAH approach.
