Private shuttle from Houston IAH to Stafford
Stafford sits just southwest of Houston on the Fort Bend County line, a small city of distribution centers, businesses, and residential neighborhoods along the US-59 corridor, and IAH - George Bush Intercontinental - is its long-haul airport on the far side of the metro: about 38-40 road miles. 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 IAH-to-Stafford run.
The route from Houston IAH to Stafford
The drive leaves IAH on Will Clayton Parkway, joins the Eastex Freeway (US-59, future I-69) southwest into Houston, and continues down the Southwest Freeway through the metropolitan core. The last stretch runs the South Loop West frontage to the Stafford exits on Main Street. Completed IAH-to-Stafford trips logged a median of about 38 dispatch miles with a 10th-90th spread of 38-40 miles. OSRM road routing measured 2026-09-21 comes in at about 38 miles and just under an hour in normal traffic; the US-59 corridor through central Houston is the peak-hour variable, so rush-hour pickups get a buffered window.
