William P. Hobby (HOU) Airport Limo Service
Cruise groups, wedding parties and conference teams board Sprinter vans and coaches through our William P. Hobby (HOU) Airport Limo Service, with bags handled and Galveston transfers timed to sailing.

Stretch Limo Service to and from William P. Hobby (HOU) Airport
Your chauffeur is standing inside baggage claim with a name sign by the time your flight reaches the gate at Hobby. Our William P. Hobby (HOU) Airport Limo Service handles arrivals and departures at Houston's southeast airfield every hour of the day, and it forms one branch of a statewide Texas airport limo service that also covers Dallas Love Field, Austin Bergstrom, San Antonio International and every smaller commercial field across the state. An executive heading to the Energy Corridor, a family bound for a Galveston sailing and a patient checking into a Texas Medical Center hotel all receive the same fixed quote, the same licensed chauffeur and the same spotless black vehicle.
Union Limousine has provided chauffeured transportation since 1997, and the Houston operation runs on that same discipline. Flight tracking happens automatically, so a delayed Southwest arrival from Nashville or an early Delta landing from Atlanta adjusts your pickup time without a single phone call from you. The price is locked before the trip starts, with tolls, fuel, airport fees and a generous wait window already included.
Why Houston Travelers Choose Hobby Airport Limo Transfers?
Flat rates to every Houston address
Hobby sits roughly seven miles southeast of downtown, which makes it the closer airport for the Theater District, Daikin Park, Toyota Center, the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Texas Medical Center. Transfers to those destinations take 20 to 30 minutes outside of peak traffic. Rides to the Galleria, Memorial, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands and Clear Lake are quoted the same way: one figure agreed in advance, with no surge pricing during RodeoHouston or a Texans home game.
Chauffeurs who know Houston roads
Interstate 45, Loop 610, the Beltway 8 toll ring and State Highway 288 all carry Hobby traffic, and each one behaves differently at 5 p.m. on a weekday. Our chauffeurs live and drive in Houston, so they read live conditions, choose the right approach into Pearland or League City and manage the final stretch around the terminal curb with ease. Every booking inside our Harris County car service territory, from Baytown to Cypress, is dispatched under the same standard, and a dedicated Hobby Airport car service desk confirms each reservation by email with the chauffeur's name and vehicle details the evening before.
Hobby Airport Limo Services for Every Kind of Trip
Corporate and executive travel
Energy, healthcare, maritime and engineering companies across Houston keep standing accounts with us for recurring airport runs and monthly invoicing. Chauffeurs arrive in business attire, keep conversation to your preference and stock each sedan with bottled water and charging cables. Road shows that move between the Energy Corridor, Westchase, Greenway Plaza and the Port of Houston can be booked by the hour, with one vehicle and one chauffeur staying with your team all day.
Family and leisure arrivals
Child seats, booster seats, space for golf bags and a chauffeur who helps with strollers are all standard requests at Hobby. Families landing for a Kemah Boardwalk weekend, a Galveston beach stay or a Space Center Houston visit ride in SUVs with cargo room to spare. Our Galveston cruise terminal car service connects HOU to the Port of Galveston in about 50 minutes and times the pickup to your embarkation window, with the return leg booked against your ship's scheduled docking.
Group and event transportation
Conference delegations arriving for shows at NRG Park, wedding parties headed to venues in Montgomery County, bachelor and bachelorette groups bound for Washington Avenue, and youth sports teams flying in for tournaments all move together in Sprinter vans, party buses or full charter coaches. A Union Limousine coordinator handles the manifest, the luggage count and the staggered arrival times so nobody waits at the curb.
Statewide and nationwide coverage
The same booking desk takes a Texas limo service request for El Paso, Lubbock or Corpus Christi and a limo service pickup at JFK, Los Angeles or Chicago O'Hare. A traveler flying Hobby to LaGuardia can arrange both ends of the trip in a single reservation and receive one confirmation covering each city.

History and importance
Hobby opened in 1927 as a private landing strip called W. T. Carter Field and became Houston Municipal Airport in 1937, which makes it the oldest commercial airfield in the city. The city renamed it for former Texas governor William P. Hobby in 1967, two years before most airline flights shifted north to the newly opened Intercontinental Airport. Hobby then reinvented itself as a convenient close in airport, and the opening of the international West Concourse in 2015 brought flights to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean back after a 46 year gap. Skytrax awarded William P. Hobby Airport a five star rating, the first airport in North America to receive one, and the field remains a cornerstone of the Southwest Airlines network.
Airlines and destinations
Airlines operating from HOU
Southwest Airlines operates the large majority of departures and treats Hobby as one of its busiest stations. Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines also fly scheduled service, which gives travelers connections through Atlanta, Dallas Fort Worth, Charlotte and Seattle.
Domestic destinations
Nonstop domestic service covers Dallas Love Field, Austin, San Antonio, Denver, Chicago Midway, Nashville, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Washington National and New York LaGuardia, along with dozens of smaller markets reached through the Southwest schedule.
International destinations
From the West Concourse, travelers reach Cancun, Mexico City, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, San Jose in Costa Rica, Belize City and several Caribbean islands. Customs and immigration are processed onsite, so arriving international passengers walk straight to the curb once cleared.
Terminal layout
Hobby operates a single passenger terminal with two concourses and roughly 30 gates. Ticketing and security sit on the upper level, with baggage claim and ground transportation on the lower level.
Central Concourse
The original concourse holds most Southwest domestic gates along with the Delta, American and Alaska positions, with a central food court and shops just past the security exit.
West Concourse and the 2027 expansion
Opened in 2015, the West Concourse houses the international gates and the federal inspection facility. Houston Airports and Southwest are now building a $470 million expansion that adds seven gates, a renovated baggage claim hall with clerestory windows and a covered canopy linking the Red Garage to the departures curb, with completion targeted for summer 2027. Expect occasional lane shifts on the terminal roadway while the work continues.
Passenger traffic
Hobby handles roughly 15 million passengers a year, which places it among the busiest medium hub airports in the United States. Peak departure banks fall between 5 and 8 a.m. and again from 3 to 7 p.m., with Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings carrying the heaviest leisure traffic.
Parking overview
Two garages serve the terminal. The Red Garage sits closest to the building and connects directly to the ticketing level, while the Blue Garage offers covered parking a short walk away. The ecopark economy lot on Airport Boulevard runs shuttles to the terminal around the clock, and a free cell phone lot lets drivers wait for a call from arriving passengers. Garage rates climb quickly for stays beyond a day, which is one reason many Houston residents book a chauffeured transfer for trips of three days or longer.
Pickup and drop off guidance
Departures curb
Departing passengers are dropped on the upper level curb outside the ticketing hall. Our chauffeur unloads luggage at the airline's door and, for travelers who request it, walks bags to the curbside check in counter.
Arrivals curb
Arriving passengers exit baggage claim onto the lower level. Commercial vehicles, including limousines, use designated pickup zones along this curb, and airport staff direct traffic during busy banks.
Where your chauffeur meets you?
For standard pickups, your chauffeur waits inside the baggage claim hall holding a sign with your name, then escorts you to the vehicle at the commercial curb. Travelers who prefer a quick curbside pickup can text on landing, and the car pulls up within minutes from the nearby staging area.
Ground transportation options
Taxis queue outside baggage claim with metered fares to downtown. Rideshare pickups are directed to a dedicated zone on the lower level. Houston METRO runs the 500 Downtown Direct express for $4.50 as well as local routes 40 and 88 from the Hobby Transit Center, and the consolidated rental car facility sits beside the terminal. A prebooked chauffeur removes the queue, the surge pricing and the shuttle wait from that list.
Tips for arriving passengers
Quick checklist
- Switch your phone off airplane mode before leaving the gate so our flight tracker and text updates reach you
- Checked bags from Southwest flights usually reach the carousel within 15 to 20 minutes of arrival
- International arrivals should allow 30 to 45 minutes for customs during evening banks
- Keep your confirmation email open; it shows your chauffeur's name, phone number and vehicle plate
Weather note
Houston's rainy season and the June through November hurricane window can flood low lying roads near Sims Bayou. Our chauffeurs monitor conditions and route around closures, and the fare stays the same when a detour is required.
The case for a prebooked chauffeur at Hobby
Taxi and rideshare lines at HOU stretch during the early morning and late afternoon banks, and surge pricing can double a fare to The Woodlands on a Friday evening. A reserved limousine arrives at a confirmed price, with a vehicle sized to your group and luggage, a chauffeur who already knows your drop address and a direct line to dispatch if plans change. For executives, families with children and anyone connecting to a cruise or an evening event, that certainty is the reason the reservation gets made.
Houston Neighborhoods, Venues and Nearby Airports Served from HOU
Hobby anchors the southeast side of the city, with Glenbrook Valley, Meadowcreek Village, South Houston and Pasadena within a 15 minute drive. The University of Houston main campus, the Museum District, Hermann Park and the Houston Zoo sit along the Highway 288 corridor to the north, while Space Center Houston, Kemah and the Bayport Cruise Terminal in Pasadena lie southeast along Interstate 45 and Highway 146. The Visit Houston attractions guide covers the Galleria, the Theater District and NRG Park, and we deliver guests to each one with the same fixed quote.
George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) sits about 23 miles north, Ellington Airport handles private and military aviation ten minutes away, and Sugar Land Regional and Conroe North Houston Regional serve corporate jets. We transfer between any of these fields and Hobby on a fixed rate, which suits travelers whose connecting flights split across both Houston airports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQs to learn more about our luxury fleet, professional chauffeurs, airport transfers, reservations, and private transportation services designed for a comfortable and seamless travel experience.
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead for sedans and SUVs so a chauffeur can be assigned and your flight added to the tracking system. Sprinter vans, party buses and charter coaches should be booked one to two weeks out during conference season and Galveston cruise weekends, when group vehicles are in high demand.
Your chauffeur waits inside the baggage claim hall on the lower level holding a sign with your name. Once your bags arrive, you are escorted to the vehicle at the commercial pickup curb. If you prefer a curbside meet, text on landing and the car pulls up from the staging area.
Yes. Every reservation is linked to its flight number, and dispatch monitors departure and arrival changes in real time. If your Southwest or Delta flight lands early or late, the pickup time moves with it, and wait time tied to the delay is never billed to you.
Downtown Houston is about seven miles from the terminal, and the ride usually takes 20 to 25 minutes along Interstate 45. Weekday rush hour, a Texans game at NRG Stadium or heavy rain can stretch that to 40 minutes, which is why chauffeurs leave early for scheduled drops.
Yes. The Port of Galveston is roughly 45 miles southeast of HOU, and the transfer takes about 50 minutes. We time the pickup to your embarkation window and arrange the return against your ship's docking schedule, with SUVs, Sprinter vans and coaches available for cruise groups.
Airport transfers are priced as flat rates based on the pickup zone and the destination, so an SUV from Hobby to The Woodlands carries one fixed number that already includes tolls on the Hardy Toll Road or Beltway 8, fuel and standard wait time. The quote is confirmed in writing before you travel.
Child seats and booster seats are available on request for sedans, SUVs and Sprinter vans. Tell the reservation team the age and weight of each child when booking, and the chauffeur installs the seats before arriving at the terminal so the vehicle is ready the moment you reach the curb.
A Sprinter van seats up to 14 passengers with rear luggage racks, which comfortably fits a group of ten with checked bags and carry ons. For 14 travelers with full luggage, a second vehicle or a mini charter bus with under floor bays keeps everyone comfortable for the drive.
Yes. Many business travelers keep the same sedan and chauffeur for the day after landing at Hobby, moving between meetings in the Energy Corridor, Westchase and downtown before returning to the airport. Hourly service is billed in blocks with a minimum, and the vehicle stays on standby throughout.
Yes. Transfers between HOU and IAH are a frequent request for travelers whose itineraries split across both Houston airports. The 23 mile trip along Interstate 45 and Beltway 8 takes 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic, and the fare is quoted as a single fixed rate.
