Booking in Houston

Distance here is measured in time rather than miles. The Energy Corridor to Hobby at five in the afternoon is its own kind of trip. Chauffeured sedans and SUVs across Houston — two commercial airports at opposite ends of the city, the largest medical complex in the world, and an energy corridor that generates more executive travel than most downtowns. Booked and managed by Executive Black Car, driven by vetted local operators who work these roads every day.

Gratuity and airport fees included
Rate agreed in writing, no surge pricing
Free cancellation up to 2 hours before pickup
Free waiting: 60 minutes at airports, 15 minutes elsewhere

Airport guide

IAH vs Hobby: downtown, the Galleria, the Energy Corridor, the Medical Center and The Woodlands.

Houston airports

George Bush Intercontinental (IAH)

The long-haul and international gateway, sitting a genuine distance north of the city with five terminals linked by the Skyway and Subway trains. Terminal assignment matters here because the terminals are not walkable to one another, and all international arrivals clear customs in Terminal E. We confirm against the flight number and hold through customs rather than running a clock against a queue.

William P. Hobby (HOU)

Closer in, smaller and considerably easier to be collected from. Hobby serves the south and east of the city well and is often the better arrival point for anyone working Downtown, the Medical Center or Clear Lake. Its single main terminal makes for one of the more straightforward pickups in Texas.

Single terminal · South-side advantage · Faster arrivals

Private aviation

Houston carries heavy private traffic, spread between the FBOs at Bush Intercontinental and Hobby and the dedicated fields at Sugar Land and Conroe. Energy-sector movements in particular tend to run on their own schedule rather than a published one. For private arrivals we work from the tail number and coordinate with the FBO directly. Tell us the field and the FBO when you book and we will confirm coverage before you travel.

Where we work in Houston

Downtown & Midtown

We agree a street-level pickup point, not a tower name. The corporate and legal core, with the convention district and the arenas immediately adjacent. We agree a street-level pickup point rather than a tower name, because getting that wrong costs more time here than the drive does.

Uptown & the Galleria

Hotel forecourts work far better than Post Oak itself. The second downtown in all but name, with the Galleria complex, the Post Oak corridor and a dense concentration of hotels and corporate offices. Post Oak Boulevard is slow through most of the day and the hotel forecourts here work far better than the street.

The Energy Corridor & Westchase

We schedule against the I-10 peak, not through it. The concentration of energy majors along I-10 west generates a steady flow of international executive travel, much of it long-haul through Bush Intercontinental.

Texas Medical Center

The entrance matters more than the address. The largest medical complex in the world, with constant visiting-physician, research and patient-family travel. Access within the complex is genuinely confusing and the institutions are large enough that the correct entrance matters more than the address.

The Woodlands, Sugar Land & the suburbs

The Woodlands is closer to Bush than the city is. The Woodlands to the north carries substantial corporate presence and sits closer to Bush Intercontinental than the city does, which works in your favour. Sugar Land and Katy to the south and west are further from both airports and worth booking earlier than the estimate suggests.

Typical journey times across Houston

Houston is spread out enough that the airport choice changes the whole trip.

Approximate driving times between Houston districts and George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby airports
From	Approx. distance	Off-peak	Allow in peak
Downtown to Bush Intercontinental	23 miles	30–40 min	55–75 min
Downtown to Hobby	11 miles	20–25 min	35–50 min
Galleria to Bush Intercontinental	26 miles	35–45 min	60–85 min
Energy Corridor to Bush Intercontinental	31 miles	40–50 min	70–95 min
The Woodlands to Bush Intercontinental	20 miles	25–35 min	40–60 min
Medical Center to Hobby	11 miles	20–25 min	35–50 min

Hotels, venues and campuses we run to

Hotel transfers in Houston

The Post Oak and the Uptown houses sit close together on the Post Oak corridor, which is slow through most of the day — a departure from there for an early flight out of Bush needs a considerably earlier start than the map suggests.

Events & venues in Houston

Rodeo season runs for weeks and moves enormous numbers of people to NRG on a fixed daily pattern. Those evenings need planning in advance rather than dispatching on the day.

Galveston is a real transfer rather than a local run and the causeway is the constraint on a summer weekend. Austin and San Antonio are quoted per trip; both are long enough that an overnight is often the better answer.

Culture, dining and the region

Universities & campuses in Houston

The Medical Center is genuinely confusing to navigate and the institutions are large enough that the correct entrance matters more than the address. Treatment days are better booked hourly — appointment times hold far less often than anyone plans for.
