Private shuttle from Lorena to Houston IAH
Lorena is a small McLennan County town on the Interstate 35 corridor just south of Waco, and George Bush Intercontinental is its long-haul airport on the far north side of Houston: about 169-170 road miles southeast. This page covers the real corridor from our own completed-trip history: measured mileage and drive times, direction of demand, and what a reserved private door-to-door shuttle has actually cost on the Lorena-to-IAH run.
The route from Lorena to Houston IAH
The drive leaves Lorena toward Waco and picks up the State Highway 6 corridor - the Business SH 6 stretch, then the Earl Rudder Freeway through the College Station area - before the State Highway 105 and Aggie Expressway runs toward the Houston side and the north-loop approach into IAH's terminal roads. Completed trips on this corridor logged a median of about 170 dispatch miles with a 10th-90th spread of 169-170 miles. OSRM road routing measured 2026-09-26 comes in at about 178 miles and three and a half hours in normal traffic; the Waco-to-College Station SH 6 stretch and the Houston north-loop are the peak-hour variables, so afternoon departures get a buffered pickup window.
