Our Nicer Vehicles
What type of vehicle will pick me up?
We send a Houston airport shuttle sedan (1–3 passengers), SUV (4+ passengers), or Mercedes Sprinter (larger groups) to the Sam Houston Hotel. Our Houston-area vehicles are clean and newer — most are luxury and full-size, including Lincoln Navigators, Lincoln MKZ's, Mercedes Sprinter shuttles, and a variety of other vehicles. Strollers, car seats, and standard airline luggage are accommodated free of charge; oversized items (golf clubs, skis, large coolers) can be noted at booking so dispatch assigns a vehicle with extra cargo space.
