Houston Arrivals Between 11pm and 2am — IAH and Hobby

Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is United's international gateway, so its late-evening and past-midnight arrival banks run heavy — and Hobby (HOU) adds Southwest red-eyes on top. By the time those bags are on the curb, METRO and the scheduled shuttles have stopped and app fares surge. Texas Shuttle runs private, prearranged pickups at both Houston airports every night: our completed-trip records show 107 late-night (11 p.m.-2:59 a.m.) pickups at IAH and 37 at Hobby, with typical fares around $146 (IAH) and $113 (Hobby) and median door-to-door distances of about 39 miles at each.

Where we meet you at IAH after a late landing

IAH spreads across five terminals (A–E); your driver waits at your terminal's Ground Transportation pickup area until you clear baggage claim and texts the driver's name, vehicle, and live location when you land. Give us your flight number at booking and we track it — a delayed inbound flight moves your pickup automatically at no extra fee for normal delays. If your flight is diverted or cancelled, contact us and we rebook for a later time at no penalty.

Where we meet you at Hobby (HOU)

After collecting luggage from Baggage Claim, proceed to Curb Zone 3 or 4 on the Arrivals Level — the ground transportation curb just outside baggage claim. Hobby is compact compared to IAH; most passengers walk out within 15–20 minutes of wheels-down, even on the last arrivals of the night.

Flat fares from real late-night Houston trips

Fares depend on your exact drop-off address, vehicle, and party size. As a guide from our completed late-night trips: IAH pickups run a typical $96–$215 (median about $146) and Hobby pickups $70–$158 (median about $113) for private sedans and SUVs. Round trips get 10% off with promo code ONLINE.

Why reserve instead of gambling on an app at midnight?

IAH's late international banks clear customs in waves, and app surge pricing on the north-side corridors is routine after 10 p.m.; Hobby's late banks strand riders heading west to Katy or southwest to Sugar Land. A reservation locks the price, the pickup window, and a driver who already knows the JFK Boulevard and Will Clayton Parkway approaches.
