Nacogdoches to Hobby Airport Shuttle
Welcome to Texas Shuttle, your reliable door-to-door transportation from Nacogdoches, Texas to Houston's William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). We pick you up at your address in Nacogdoches or anywhere in Nacogdoches County and deliver you curbside to the Hobby terminal — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, non-stop.
The drive from Nacogdoches to Hobby is roughly 170 miles and typically takes 3 hours to 3 hours 45 minutes door-to-door, depending on Houston traffic. Our drivers take US-59 / I-69 South out of Nacogdoches through Lufkin and Livingston, then I-69 into Houston and Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) South into Hobby Airport from the north — the most reliable route from Deep East Texas to HOU on most days. Traveling from Shelby County or the Center, TX area? See our Center to Hobby shuttle service for direct rides from Center to Houston Hobby Airport.
Deep East Texas pickup coverage
We pick up at home or office in Nacogdoches and along the entire US-59 / I-69 corridor through Deep East Texas — including Lufkin, Diboll, Livingston, Center, San Augustine, and the surrounding towns. If you're flying Southwest Airlines or any other carrier out of Houston Hobby, one of our drivers can be at your door overnight, early morning, or any other time you need to leave for the airport.
Why Hobby (HOU) instead of George Bush Intercontinental (IAH)
For many Nacogdoches travelers, Houston Hobby is the better airport: it's the Southwest Airlines hub for Houston, the terminal is smaller and easier to navigate, and from East Texas the drive time is comparable to IAH. If your itinerary uses Bush Intercontinental instead, see our Nacogdoches to IAH page. Going into downtown Houston or the Texas Medical Center? See our Nacogdoches to Houston service.

When to book and how much cushion to leave
For peace of mind, book at least 24 hours ahead — earlier on holidays and weekends. We recommend being picked up 3 hours 30 minutes before a domestic departure and 4 hours before an international departure out of Hobby. That accounts for the East Texas drive, possible slowdowns inside the Houston loop, and TSA at HOU. If you're booking same-day or last-minute, call us at (817) 403-6196 and we'll do our best to get a vehicle on the way.
At the airport
At Hobby we drop you off curbside at the main passenger terminal so you can walk straight to your check-in counter or TSA line. Our drivers help with luggage at both ends. For return trips, we monitor your flight status and meet you at baggage claim once you've landed.
What should I expect for my travel time?
Plan on 3 hours to 3 hours 45 minutes door-to-door in normal conditions. Houston rush hour (roughly 6:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM) can stretch the last 30 miles inside Houston by another 20–40 minutes, so we'll often suggest leaving Nacogdoches earlier when your flight time falls into those windows.
Will you pick me up from any address in Nacogdoches?
Yes — we pick up from any address in Nacogdoches and the surrounding county, plus the Deep East Texas towns listed above. Just enter the exact pickup address when you book.
How many bags can I bring?
Standard suitcases and carry-ons are included. For larger groups or oversized items (golf clubs, ski bags, large sports equipment), mention it when booking so we can dispatch the right vehicle — sedan, SUV, or shuttle van.
What happens if there's a flight delay?
If your return flight into Hobby is delayed, call us at (817) 403-6196, and we'll adjust pickup. We track major delays automatically and our drivers wait for reasonable delays at HOU with no additional charge.
