Texas Airport Shuttle

MD Anderson Cancer Center Airport Shuttle

Traveling between MD Anderson Cancer Center (1515 Holcombe Blvd, Texas Medical Center, Houston) and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) or George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)? Texas Shuttle runs private, door-to-door shuttle service on these corridors 24/7 — pickup at the Main Building, Mays Clinic, any TMC hotel, or any Houston address, and drop-off curbside at your terminal. Patients flying in for treatment don't need to figure out Houston transit or gamble on rideshare surge after a long clinic day. Based on real completed Texas Shuttle trips on this corridor, the typical fare runs $46–$74 each way to Hobby (median about $60) and $64–$90 to Bush IAH for a private sedan or SUV. Round trips save 10% off each way.

The routes: Hobby south, Bush north

To Hobby (HOU), we run south from the Medical Center on I-610 and TX-288/Loop 610 east — about 11–13 door-to-door miles, 20–30 minutes in normal traffic. To Bush (IAH), the run is north via I-610 and I-69/US-59 or I-45 — about 30 miles, 35–55 minutes depending on Houston rush hour. Your driver monitors both corridors and leaves early enough to protect your flight. For a 6 a.m. departure out of Hobby, plan on a 4–4:30 a.m. pickup at your TMC address; we confirm the exact time when you book.

Airport pickup and drop-off

For departures, we drop you at your airline's terminal door. For arrivals, share your flight number when you book and your driver tracks it — we plan pickup 30 minutes after a domestic landing or 45 minutes after an international one, and the time adjusts automatically if your flight is late. Turn your phone off airplane mode when you land; your driver will call or text from an unfamiliar number with the vehicle and door number.

Patient travel, done gently

MD Anderson schedules don't bend, and treatment weeks are exhausting. Note wheelchairs, walkers, or oversized luggage at booking and we size the vehicle — private sedans seat up to 3, large SUVs 4–7, shuttle vans up to 8 for the whole family. We serve the Main Building (1515 Holcombe), Mays Clinic (1220 Holcombe), MD Anderson West Houston (13900 Katy Fwy), and every Texas Medical Center hotel — drivers who run this corridor weekly know the patient drop-off loops at each one.
