Route Specifics: Georgetown to Houston
Georgetown sits at the northern edge of the Austin metro on I-35, roughly 165–195 road miles from central Houston to its two main airports — about 178 mi to George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and around 190 mi to William P. Hobby (HOU) door-to-door, depending on where in Georgetown you start. The most common door-to-door path drops south on I-35 through Round Rock and north Austin, jumps east onto SH-130 or US-290 to skip downtown Austin traffic, then runs east into the Houston area on US-290 or I-10 East, finishing on Beltway 8 for the airport approach. Drivers pick the live combination that's moving best the day of the trip — in practice that means SH-130 (toll) on weekday afternoons to dodge the I-35 Austin corridor, and a straight I-35 to US-290 run early morning or late night when traffic is light.
Door-to-door time runs roughly 2 hr 45 min to 3 hr 30 min on a typical day — right around 2 hr 52 min in free-flow conditions on SH-130, stretching toward 3 hr 30 min or more when weekday-morning I-35 traffic in Austin and afternoon congestion on the Houston West Loop / Beltway 8 stack up. Houston's inner loops (I-610 and Beltway 8) are the most variable section — the Georgetown-to-Houston portion through Bastrop / Brenham / Hempstead is fairly predictable. We build a buffer of at least 30 minutes into airport pickups so a normal traffic incident doesn't put your flight at risk.
Pickups for IAH (George Bush) vs. Hobby
If you're flying out of George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), the drop-off is at your specific terminal (A, B, C, D, or E) at the departures level. IAH is north of the city, so the Beltway 8 east approach lands you there without going through downtown — useful when Houston traffic is bad. For William P. Hobby (HOU), the drop-off is on Airport Boulevard at the departures curb. Hobby is south-east of downtown; from US-290 we cut south on I-610 or Beltway 8 East depending on time of day. Tell us your terminal and airline at booking and the driver will route to the closest departures door — this is the single biggest time-saver at IAH because the terminals are spread out.
For airport arrivals, your driver tracks your flight and meets you at the lower-level baggage-claim curb. We don't charge extra for normal flight delays; if your flight is delayed several hours we'll reschedule the pickup at no cost as long as you let us know.
Pricing Context: What Affects the Fare
The Georgetown-to-Houston fare is door-to-door and based on (1) the actual road distance from your address to the airport, (2) how many passengers and bags you have, and (3) the time of day (overnight pickups carry a small premium because of driver scheduling). Because this is a private, non-shared shuttle, the price is the total for the vehicle — not per-seat — which usually makes a 3- or 4-person trip a better deal than a per-seat ride-share to the same airport.

Travel Tips for the Georgetown to Houston Run
- Book the pickup time, not the flight time. The booking tool asks for your pickup time. A safe rule for Houston: pickup three hours before a domestic flight or four hours before an international, then add 30 minutes if you're flying Friday afternoon or Sunday evening.
- Have your gate / terminal handy. IAH terminal drops save 10–15 minutes versus a generic "departures" stop.
- Pack one full-size suitcase plus a carry-on per passenger as the default. Extra luggage (skis, golf bags, large boxes) is fine but mention it at booking so we send a vehicle with the right cargo space.
- Late-night and pre-5 a.m. pickups are routine. Tell us at booking, and the driver will text on approach so you're not waiting outside in the dark.
- Pets and child seats are available. Note both at booking — small pets in carriers ride free; child / infant / booster seats are provided on request at no extra cost.
