Texas City to Beaumont Shuttle
Our private door‑to‑door shuttle connects Texas City, a coastal community on the western shore of Galveston Bay, with Beaumont, the historic oil‑town nestled along the Neches River. The trip follows Interstate 10 East for roughly 70 miles of highway, passing through the industrial corridor of La Marque, the pine‑lined stretches near Winnie, and the riverfront districts of Beaumont’s West End before reaching your destination. Typical drive time ranges from 91 to 125 minutes depending on traffic around the Port of Texas City and the Beaumont‑Port Arthur metropolitan area.
Drivers are familiar with the major pickup points in Texas City — the Texas City Dike, the Mainland Center shopping area, and the residential neighborhoods along 21st Street — as well as the key drop‑off zones in Beaumont such as the downtown convention center, the Lamar University campus, and the Jack Brooks Regional Airport (BPT).
