For a group of five or more, driving to Houston consistently beats flying once you count airfare, checked bags and ground transportation on both ends. For one or two travelers, flying usually wins, and we will tell you so.
The other reason people book this is that the vehicle stays with you. Three meetings across Houston, a site visit and a dinner, or a full day and back the same night. One booking, no rebooking between stops.
Medical appointments are a category of their own. Anyone heading to the Texas Medical Center for treatment should not be driving four hours each way, and a sedan or SUV with a chauffeur solves that better than a flight does.
Football, baseball, concerts, a medical appointment at the Texas Medical Center, or a trip where the whole point is that nobody in the group has to drive. The run from the Metroplex is roughly 240 miles and about four hours.
We are based in Frisco, Texas, and our vehicles and chauffeurs run out of the Dallas Fort Worth area. For work inside Houston we operate with affiliate partners we have used for years. If one of our own vehicles is already in Houston, we use it. If not, an affiliate covers it to the same standard. We have run this way for 28 years and we would rather explain it than pretend otherwise.
Everything is quoted garage to garage, including the empty legs, so the number you see is the number you pay.
We cover George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and Hobby (HOU) for arrivals and departures at the Houston end, and run the long distance leg from the Metroplex ourselves where the vehicle is available.
Airport transfers are always point to point with no hourly minimum, any day, any hour.
Guest pickups, conference blocks and corporate visitors across the city.
For conferences and multi day events we run shuttle loops between the hotel and the venue on a set schedule. Sprinters, minibuses or coaches depending on headcount. One booking, one point of contact, one invoice.
Event trips are booked as a block of time rather than a one way fare. The roads around any venue are gridlocked for an hour after it ends. Reserving the block keeps the same vehicle and chauffeur with you, somewhere secure for coats and bags, and a guaranteed ride home at the hour you choose.
Vehicles are assigned by what is closest and available for your date and time.

Houston is one leg of a statewide network. We run these routes in both directions, quoted garage to garage including the empty legs.
| From Houston | Approximate drive | Common reasons |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas Fort Worth | 3.5 to 4 hours | Corporate travel, sporting events, family trips |
| Galveston | 1 to 1.5 hours | Cruise embarkation and return |
| Austin | 2.5 to 3 hours | Capitol business, F1 at COTA, conferences |
| San Antonio | 3 to 3.5 hours | River Walk trips, conventions, family travel |
A flight from the Metroplex to Houston is about an hour. But it is also the drive to DFW, two hours before departure, a wait for bags, and ground transportation at the other end. Realistically four to five hours door to door, and you still do not have a car at your hotel. We leave from your front door and arrive at theirs.
One traveler on a cheap fare will usually still fly, and we will tell you so. The math flips with a group: four or more people, or anyone carrying golf clubs, trade show materials, or equipment that costs extra at the counter. One vehicle, one rate, split however many ways.
Book hourly and the vehicle and chauffeur stay with you. Three meetings across Houston, a site visit and a dinner, a full day in Austin and back the same night. One booking, no rebooking between stops.
Long distance runs are quoted garage to garage including the empty legs, so the number you see is the number you pay. Larger vehicles are quoted on a mileage rate that moves with fuel, and overnight trips add the chauffeur’s hotel and per diem. Outside the Dallas Fort Worth area we work with trusted operators we have used for years. Cross country motorcoach charter available on request.
How is a long distance trip quoted?
Garage to garage, including the empty legs. Larger vehicles are quoted on a mileage rate that moves with fuel. Overnight trips add the chauffeur's hotel and per diem to the quote.
Is driving really better than flying to Houston?
For five or more people, usually. For one or two, flying generally wins. We will give you the honest comparison rather than talking you into the booking.
Can you take us to a cruise sailing out of Galveston?
Yes. Galveston is about an hour beyond Houston, and door to cruise terminal runs are one of the most common long distance trips we do.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most trips. Prom season, graduation weekends, PGA and F1 weekends, and the run up to Christmas commit vehicles across the whole Texas market months out, so those need far more notice. Same day is often workable for a sedan or SUV, less so for anything larger.
Is there an hourly minimum?
Airport transfers never carry one, in either direction, on any day. Friday and Saturday carry a four hour minimum on smaller vehicles and five to six hours on larger units. Proms, concerts and sporting events run five to six hours. FBO arrivals are billed hourly with a two hour minimum. Exceptions can be worked out with management, so ask.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. All trips require a deposit to lock in the date and time, and deposits are non refundable. Your vehicle, rate and terms are confirmed in writing before you ride.
What are the cancellation windows?
Sedans and SUVs, 48 hours. Sprinter vans, 7 days. Minibuses and motorcoaches, 14 days. Late cancellations are charged in full. The exact terms for your booking are listed on the signed confirmation.
Do you run hotel and conference shuttles?
Yes. For conferences and multi day events we run shuttle loops between the hotel and the venue on a set schedule, using Sprinters, minibuses or coaches depending on headcount. One booking, one point of contact, one invoice.
How far will you travel?
Up to about 600 miles from base as a matter of routine, which covers the whole state. Cross country motorcoach charter is available on request. Long distance work is quoted garage to garage including the empty legs, with larger vehicles on a mileage rate that moves with fuel, and overnight trips adding the chauffeur's hotel and per diem.
Tell us the date, the pickup, and how many people. You will get a written quote with the vehicle and rate confirmed, with no account to create and no card to enter.
