More common questions

More Houston Airport Taxi Questions

Why book a flat-rate taxi instead of a rideshare app from IAH or HOU?

With a flat rate, the price you see when you book is exactly what you pay — no surge pricing during busy arrival times, no price jumping while you wait. You'll know your total cost before you ever get in the car.

How long will I wait for my driver after landing at IAH or HOU?

We track your flight in real time and time your driver's arrival to your actual landing, not your scheduled time. You also get 60 minutes of free wait time after landing, so there's no rush once you're off the plane.

What happens if my flight is delayed several hours or overnight?

Your driver's pickup time shifts automatically to match your new landing time — even if that means the next day. There's no extra charge or rebooking needed for a delay; we simply adjust with your flight.

Do you pick up early morning or red-eye flights?

Yes — we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including 2am arrivals and holidays. A red-eye landing gets the exact same flat rate as a midday flight, with no night surcharge.

Do you serve international arrivals at IAH?

Yes, we cover all IAH terminals, including the international arrivals areas. Since customs and immigration processing time can vary by flight, let us know you're arriving internationally when you book so we can time your pickup accordingly.

Will I get a confirmation and receipt for my booking?

Yes — every booking is confirmed instantly by email with your ride details and a receipt, which is handy for expense reports and business travel reimbursement.

What's the difference between the shared shuttle and a private van to Galveston?

The shared shuttle is $40 per person (minimum 3 passengers) and may include other travelers heading to the port. A private van is $170 flat per vehicle, seats up to 5 passengers, and is exclusively yours — no stops for other bookings.

Are there any hidden fees on top of the flat rate?

No. Tolls are included, there's no surge pricing, and add-ons like meet & greet (+$50) or child seats ($15 each) are only charged if you actually request them. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
