Houston Convention Transportation Guide
Airport transfers, hotel shuttles and executive cars for the George R. Brown Convention Center and downtown Houston.
Why convention weeks are hard on ground transportation
When a large convention or trade show is in town, downtown hotels fill up, streets near the George R. Brown Convention Center get congested and rideshare waits grow right when attendees need to be somewhere. A booked chauffeur turns a stressful transfer into a fixed time and a known price.
What we handle for convention travelers
- Airport transfers: flat-rate rides between IAH or Hobby and downtown hotels or the convention center, with flight tracking. See our airport car service.
- Hotel and venue shuttles: a Sprinter or executive shuttle running a set loop between your hotel, the convention center and dinner.
- Executive cars: sedans and SUVs by the trip or by the hour for speakers, clients and leadership. See our hourly chauffeur service.
- Evening events: dinners and receptions in downtown, Midtown, the Theater District and the Galleria, with timed return pickups.

Sizing the fleet for your group
- 1–3 guests: executive sedan (Cadillac XTS)
- 2–6 guests: Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade
- 7–14 guests: Mercedes Sprinter van
- 15+ guests: executive shuttle or party bus
Tips from our chauffeurs
- Send arrival flight numbers and hotel names early so pickups are matched to landings.
- Agree on one pickup point at the convention center instead of meeting in the crowd.
- For a big group, a dedicated shuttle on a schedule costs less per person than several separate cars.
- Ask about a corporate account if you will run several days of transportation.
Houston Convention Transportation FAQ
How do I get from IAH or Hobby to the George R. Brown Convention Center?
Book a flat-rate airport transfer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you at arrivals and takes you to the convention center or your downtown hotel. Hobby is usually about 20 to 25 minutes away and IAH about 30 to 45, depending on traffic.
Can you shuttle a group between hotels and the convention center?
Yes. A Mercedes Sprinter van or executive shuttle can run on a set schedule between your hotel and the convention center all day, so your team or clients are never waiting on rideshare.
Do you offer executive cars for convention guests and speakers?
Yes. Executive sedans and luxury SUVs are available by the trip or by the hour for speakers, clients and executives who need on-time arrivals between meetings, dinners and the airport.
How far ahead should I book during a big convention?
As soon as your dates are set. Convention weeks fill up quickly, and we quote a flat rate and hold the vehicle once you confirm.
Do you invoice companies for convention transportation?
Yes. Corporate accounts can be invoiced, and we can combine airport transfers, hotel runs and evening dinners on one account.
