Houston has two airports, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and William P. Hobby. You can secure transportation by using SuperShuttle. You do not need a reservation upon arrival at the airport, but you will need a reservation for your departure from the University back to either airport. SuperShuttle is an on-demand, 24 hours, 7 days a week service. When you arrive at either airport (George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P. Hobby (HOU), proceed to the ticket counter located in the baggage claim area of the terminal.

Arriving at George Bush Intercontinental Airport

• You can travel by taxi from the airport directly to the university from Intercontinental for about $50. Ask the driver about the fare before leaving the airport. Taxi fare is more expensive than the airport bus fare. There are three UH campuses in the greater Houston area, so be sure to tell the taxi driver that the address of the University of Houston is 4800 Calhoun Road. It is customary to tip the driver at least 15% of your fare.
