La Marque Airport Shuttle: Door-to-Door Service to Hobby, IAH & the Galveston Cruise Port
La Marque sits in Galveston County right along the I-45 corridor between Texas City and Hitchcock, with FM 518 and FM 1765 providing quick access from nearly every neighborhood. That location makes it one of the easiest places on the Gulf Coast to serve with a scheduled shuttle — Houston's airports are a straight shot north on I-45, and the Galveston cruise terminals are only about 14 miles south. Texas Shuttle provides 24/7 door-to-door La Marque airport shuttle service connecting your home, hotel, or office directly to William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), and cruise Terminals 1, 2, and 3 on Harborside Drive.
Whether you're catching a 6 a.m. departure out of Hobby or returning from a week-long Caribbean cruise, a prearranged shuttle removes the stress of parking, ride-share surge pricing, and asking family members for a 4 a.m. ride down I-45. Below, we break down routes, drive times, vehicles, pickup procedures, and exactly how to lock in an accurate quote.
La Marque to Houston Airports: Routes & Typical Drive Times
Because La Marque sits directly on I-45, both Houston airports are reached without complicated detours. Here's what to expect on each route:
La Marque to Hobby Airport (HOU)
Hobby sits about 37 miles north of La Marque via I-45, with a typical door-to-door drive time of 35–50 minutes depending on traffic through the Baybrook and Edgebrook stretches of the freeway. Your driver picks you up at your doorstep and takes a straight shot up I-45 North — no transfers, no circuitous routing. Hobby is the preferred airport for most Galveston County travelers flying Southwest orDelta, so this is our most frequently booked La Marque route.
La Marque to George Bush Intercontinental (IAH)
IAH is farther — roughly 55 miles north — with a typical drive time of 55–75 minutes. We route up I-45 and around the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) to approach your terminal smoothly from the south side of the airport. Because this is a longer haul, we recommend building extra buffer into your schedule, especially during Houston's notorious morning and afternoon rush hours near downtown and the Greenspoint corridor.
La Marque to the Galveston Cruise Port
Sailing from Galveston? The cruise terminals are just 14 miles south of La Marque down I-45 — usually a 20-minute ride. For cruise passengers, this is one of the biggest advantages of living in La Marque: you're close enough to the port that a shuttle transfer is quick and inexpensive compared to travelers coming all the way from Houston.

- Step 1: Type your full La Marque address (or just the city, if you prefer) and click View Rates.
- Step 2: We show pricing for Sedan, SUV, and Shuttle Van side by side so you can compare vehicles for your group size and luggage load.
- Step 3: Enter your name, cell phone number, and email to save your quote — no commitment required.
- Step 4: Nothing is booked and no card is charged until you enter payment on the final screen. You're always in control.
Prefer to talk to a human? Call our sales line at (817) 403-6196, open 9 a.m.–7 p.m. CST, and a real person will build your quote, answer luggage questions, and confirm your pickup window. For non-airport transportation between any two addresses — Galveston, Houston, the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, or anywhere in between — choose the "Any Two Addresses 24/7" option when booking.
Our Nicer Vehicles: Fleet Options for Every Group Size
Not every trip needs the same vehicle. A solo business traveler heading to IAH has very different needs than a wedding party transferring to a Galveston cruise terminal or a church group chartering a ride to Dallas. Our La Marque fleet covers the full range:
| Vehicle | Passenger Capacity | Amenities | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 1–3 passengers | Comfortable seating, luggage space | Solo travelers and couples |
| SUV | 4+ passengers | Extra cargo room, luxury ride | Families with multiple suitcases |
| Shuttle Van / Sprinter Van | Up to 14 passengers | WiFi, power outlets, climate control | Small groups, cruise transfers |
| Sleeper Coach | 12–20 passengers | WiFi, power outlets, climate control | Long-haul trips to DFW |
| Executive Minibus | 24–35 passengers | WiFi, power outlets, climate control | Corporate and event groups |
| Limo Bus | 20–30 passengers | WiFi, power outlets, climate control | Weddings, celebrations, luxury transfers |
| School Bus | 44–60 passengers | Climate control | Budget-friendly large groups |
| Full-Sized Motorcoach | 56 passengers | WiFi, power outlets, climate control | Large charters and tours |
Every airport transfer is fully insured, and larger vehicles come equipped with WiFi, power outlets, and climate control so you can charge devices and stay connected on the ride up I-45.
Pickup Locations at the Airports and Cruise Port
Knowing exactly where your driver meets you matters just as much as the ride itself — especially after a long flight or when hauling cruise luggage. Here's how arrivals work at each location:
Hobby Airport (HOU) Arrivals
After you land and collect your bags, your driver coordinates pickup at the designated commercial vehicle area at Hobby. You'll receive your driver's contact information before arrival, so a quick text when you're at the curb keeps everything smooth.
George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) Arrivals
At IAH, we track your flight and stage the vehicle accordingly. Your driver meets you at the terminal arrivals curb with clear identification, then handles the Beltway 8 route back down to La Marque.
Galveston Cruise Terminals 1, 2 & 3
For cruise returns, we offer curbside pickup on Harborside Drive in the marked Shuttle/Limo lane after you clear customs. Because cruise disembarkation times can shift, we monitor your ship's arrival and adjust pickup timing so you're never stranded on the seawall with six bags and no ride.
DFW and Other Destinations
Heading north instead of east? We also provide prearranged limo pickup at DFW at Level 1 of each terminal, across the crosswalk from the marked doors (A15/A29, B8/B30, C4/C10/C24/C30, D22, E35). Long-haul trips from La Marque to Dallas–Fort Worth run up I-45 through the heart of Texas.
Better Drivers: Local Knowledge of the I-45 Corridor
A shuttle is only as good as the person behind the wheel. Our professional drivers are fully insured, vetted, and trained for excellent people skills — and critically, they know the area. They understand the I-45 corridor intimately: when to expect slowdowns near the Baybrook merge, how construction around the Galveston Causeway affects cruise-day timing, and which airport approaches save minutes when terminals are congested.
That local expertise matters most during unpredictable moments — a canceled flight at 11 p.m., a cruise ship arriving three hours late, or a wreck shutting down I-45 near FM 646. Our 24/7 support means there's always a human monitoring your trip, whether your pickup is scheduled for noon or 3 a.m.
Why La Marque Travelers Choose a Prearranged Shuttle
- 24/7 availability: Early flights and late arrivals are no problem — we operate around the clock, every day.
- Door-to-door convenience: We pick you up at your home, hotel, or office anywhere in La Marque, including neighborhoods off FM 518, FM 1765, and Highway 3.
- Fixed quotes, no surge pricing: Unlike ride-shares, your quoted fare doesn't triple during a storm or a holiday weekend.
- Flight tracking: Delayed inbound flights won't leave you without a ride home.
- Round-trip savings: Book both legs together and apply promo code ONLINE to save 10%.
- Flexible destinations: We serve any address in the Houston, Galveston, or Dallas–Fort Worth metros — not just airports.
Nearby but not exactly in La Marque? We also cover Dickinson shuttle service, just north on I-45, as well as Texas City and Galveston shuttle routes. Traveling from farther out? See our Houston airport shuttle hub page for the full service area.
How Early Should I Be Picked Up Before My Flight?
We recommend arriving at least 2 hours before your scheduled departure for domestic flights to allow ample time for check-in and security. Work backward from there to set your pickup time:
- Hobby flights: For a 7 a.m. departure, plan to arrive by 5 a.m. With a 35–50 minute drive, we'd suggest a 4:00–4:15 a.m. pickup from La Marque.
- IAH flights: Add buffer for the longer route and possible Beltway 8 traffic. For an 8 a.m. departure, a pickup around 4:30–5:00 a.m. is typical.
- International departures or peak holiday travel: Add another 30 minutes. TSA lines at both airports can be unpredictable during spring break and Thanksgiving week.
When in doubt, tell your booking agent your flight time and let us recommend the pickup window — it's a conversation we have hundreds of times, and we'd rather you sip coffee at the gate than sprint through Terminal C.
