IAH airport shuttle
Texas Shuttle runs private, door-to-door shuttle service to and from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) 24/7 — pickup at any Houston-area address, drop-off at your airline’s terminal for departures, and a reserved pickup at your arrival terminal when you land. Flat vehicle pricing with no surge at any hour.
How far is IAH from Houston?
Bush Intercontinental sits about 22 road miles and a 34-minute drive north of downtown Houston in normal traffic. It is the long-haul and international airport for the metro, which means the drive in — and the parking bill — get bigger the farther south you live. Figures below from live road-network routing:
| Destination | From IAH | Typical drive |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Houston, TX | 22 miles | 34 min |
| The Woodlands, TX | 24 miles | 36 min |

Shuttle prices to Bush Intercontinental (IAH)
Based on 2,589 real completed Texas Shuttle sedan and SUV trips touching IAH, fares have typically run $83-$189 each way (25th–75th percentile; most rides land near $138). Round trips save 10% off each way. Pricing is flat per vehicle, not per passenger, so a group of two or three splits the same fare.
Why book a private shuttle to IAH instead of driving
IAH’s on-airport parking is the priciest in the metro, and the airport sits a full 22 miles from downtown — with a peak-hour North Freeway crawl, a two-hour self-drive buffer is common before big departures. A reserved private shuttle holds a flat rate agreed before you book, covers any address in the metro, and prices the whole vehicle, so a group of two or three often lands close to what parking alone would have cost — with nobody doing the driving.
