Hobby Airport shuttle
Texas Shuttle runs private, door-to-door shuttle service to and from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) 24/7 — pickup at any Houston-area address, door-to-door drop-off at Hobby’s single terminal building for departures, and a reserved pickup at the same terminal when you land. Flat vehicle pricing with no surge at any hour, day or night.
How far is Hobby Airport from Houston?
Hobby sits about 13 road miles and a 24-minute drive from downtown Houston in normal traffic — the closest major airport to the city. The Texas Medical Center is about 12 miles away, which is why Hobby carries so many of the metro’s short-hop departures. Figures below from live road-network routing:

Shuttle prices to Hobby Airport
Based on 1,485 real completed Texas Shuttle sedan and SUV trips touching Hobby Airport, fares have typically run $87-$145 each way (25th–75th percentile; most rides land near $108). Round trips save 10% off each way. Pricing is flat per vehicle, not per passenger, so a family of four pays the same as a solo rider in the same vehicle class.
Why book a private shuttle to Hobby instead of driving
Hobby’s parking garages fill early on peak travel days, and rideshare pricing surges exactly when flights land — the two moments you most need a ride. A reserved private shuttle holds a flat rate agreed before you book, covers any Houston-area address, and prices the whole vehicle. Cruise passengers use the same reservation to cover the 41-mile Galveston leg in one flat-rate ride instead of paying for a week of parking at the port.
