Booking a car at Bush Intercontinental

Genius Limo arranges IAH airport car service for Galveston cruise sailings, downtown Houston hotels and meetings, the Texas Medical Center, Hobby Airport connections and regional trips. Share your flights, addresses, passenger count and luggage so reservations can quote a suitable vehicle.

Plan your IAH transfer

Bush Intercontinental is north of Houston, while the Galveston cruise terminals are south of the city. A sailing therefore needs enough margin for baggage, the cross-metro drive, port traffic and the ship's boarding deadline. Tell us your cruise line, ship, terminal and all-aboard time.

Galveston needs a plan
IAH is north of Houston; the cruise port is south of the metro. Plan from the ship's boarding window.
Two Houston airports
Hobby (HOU) is closer to Galveston. Quote the airport on your ticket and the exact cruise terminal.
Five IAH terminals
A through E connect by the post-security Skyway and the pre-security Subway. Share your flight number.
Luggage sets the vehicle
Count full-size cases, carry-ons and child seats when requesting a cruise or group transfer.

IAH to the Galveston cruise terminals

An IAH to Galveston cruise port transfer crosses the Houston region. Share the cruise line, ship, terminal and boarding window so the pickup can be planned around the sailing.

More details

The route can change with freeway and port traffic. If your flight and sailing are on the same day, allow for baggage collection and a realistic road margin. Tell reservations the number and size of bags before choosing a vehicle. For the return from the ship, plan around disembarkation and your airline's recommended check-in time.

Galveston cruise port servicePort of Galveston

Hobby, and the run between Houston's two airports

Hobby Airport (HOU) is closer to Galveston than IAH. A transfer between Houston's two airports crosses the city and should be planned around both flight schedules.

More details

If you can choose either airport for a cruise, compare the flight schedule and the full ground itinerary. For an IAH-to-HOU connection, share both flight numbers, the arrival details and the departing airline's check-in guidance. Houston traffic can vary substantially by time of day.

Hobby Airport guide

Downtown, Uptown and the Medical Center

IAH transfers also reach downtown Houston, Uptown and the Galleria, the Texas Medical Center, The Woodlands and surrounding communities.

More details

Give the complete hotel, office or medical facility address and any requested stops. The Medical Center has many separate buildings and entrances; the specific drop-off matters more than the district name. Downtown, the Galleria and western suburbs take different routes from IAH, so the written quote should use your actual address.

Houston black car serviceTexas Medical CenterThe Woodlands

Terminals A to E, and what clearance really takes

IAH has terminals A through E. The Skyway connects terminals after security; the Subway connects them before security. Share your flight number and confirm the assigned arrival terminal and meeting point.

More details

Terminal and curb access can change as airport projects progress. Follow the current airport signs and the pickup instructions in your confirmation. International arrivals may need additional time for immigration and baggage. The airport's official ground transportation pages have current terminal guidance.

Official IAH terminal connections

Arranging the pickup

Send your IAH flight number, travel date, reachable mobile number, complete destination address, passenger and luggage counts. For a cruise, include the ship, terminal and boarding window.

More details

Reservations will confirm the meeting point, vehicle and waiting terms for your itinerary. If guests arrive on different flights, provide both flight numbers so the pickup plan can be reviewed. For private aviation, give the FBO name and address rather than the airline terminal.

Your booking confirmation states the included waiting allowance, when it starts and the rate for additional waiting. Keep your chauffeur informed if baggage collection, immigration or another delay affects pickup.

What affects an IAH transfer quote

The exact route, vehicle size, pickup time, stops and length of the journey affect your Houston quote.

A downtown transfer, a Galveston sailing and a longer Texas itinerary need different schedules and vehicles. A taxi or transit may suit some flexible trips. A pre-booked car helps a family or group arrange the vehicle, meeting point and boarding deadline in advance.

Nationwide chauffeured transportation coverage
Airport transfer service with professional chauffeur

Groups, sailings and booking ahead

Families, sailing parties and corporate groups all run into the same Houston constraint: distance means one vehicle beats several, and sailing weeks compress demand into the same mornings.

Plan a group or cruise itinerary

Cruise sailings, events and busy travel periods can affect vehicle availability. Request a group vehicle early and provide the passenger and bag counts. A Sprinter or larger vehicle may suit a party traveling together; reservations will confirm availability, capacity and pricing.

Running back north to the airport

For a ride back to IAH, choose a pickup time with enough margin for traffic, airline check-in and security. A cruise return also needs time for disembarkation.

Plan your outbound pickup

Share the departure flight, pickup address and any deadline. Port access and Houston freeway conditions vary, so agree the pickup plan in advance. You can request a quote for the airport-to-port and port-to-airport legs together.
