How long is the drive from Austin to Houston?

About two and three-quarter hours door to door outside peak times, closer to three and a half into Houston in the afternoon. We propose a departure time on the quote.

Can you wait at a medical appointment and drive me back?

Yes. A same-day round trip with waiting is a common booking on this route and is quoted as one price.

Do you pick up from Houston airports?

Yes, from both IAH and Hobby, with flight tracking and meet and greet, then drive to Austin.

Is there a charge for a stop on the way?

A short stop for coffee is part of the trip. A longer detour, for example to Brenham or Katy, is added to the quote up front.

Austin to Houston is about 165 miles and just under three hours on a good day. It is far enough that the drive is tiring and close enough that a flight, with the airport at each end, saves nothing. A private car leaves from your door when you say and arrives at the door of your destination, which for our passengers is most often the Texas Medical Center, the Galleria, downtown offices or a terminal at IAH or Hobby.

Medical trips are a large part of this route. We are used to early appointment times at MD Anderson and Houston Methodist, to patients who need a gentle ride and a wait, and to families who want the same chauffeur for the trip home. Tell us the situation when you book and we plan around it.

For flights, we track arrivals into IAH and Hobby and meet you at baggage claim or the curb, the same as at AUS. The price is fixed for the trip described, and stops in Brenham, Giddings or Katy can be added to the quote.
