IAH Airport Transportation: Getting to Humble

IAH is in Houston, and the airport’s address places it on North Terminal Road. For your onward trip, distinguish between reaching Humble and taking a bus toward downtown Houston: METRO’s airport routes do not establish a direct service to Humble. Terminal layout, ground transportation and other airport basics are covered in this practical guide to George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

For a car trip from IAH to Humble, choose a taxi, a ride app, a rental car or a private pickup. The airport gives no driving route or general journey time to Humble. Use your chosen service’s directions for the destination address.

If you are arranging a rental, the Rental Car Center is approximately 5 minutes from the terminals by shuttle. Confirm rental arrangements and shuttle details with the relevant provider before you travel.

At IAH, rental cars, taxis and ride apps use different airport arrangements. Check the pickup instructions for your terminal and service before leaving baggage claim; airport pickup locations and charges can change, so check the official site before you go.

Rental cars

The Rental Car Center is approximately 5 minutes from the terminals by shuttle. This makes it a separate step after collecting your luggage; confirm your rental and shuttle arrangements with the rental company.

Airport-authorized taxis

Taxi stands are outside baggage claim on the arrivals level at Terminal A, south side, Door A-115; Terminal C, south side, Door C-105; and Terminal E, west side, Door E-103. Airport personnel are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist with taxi service. Courtesy phones can be used to dial 23-4198.

Taxis picking up passengers at IAH are fully licensed, and drivers must complete training in safe driving, customer service and assisting passengers with disabilities. Zone fare maps are posted near passenger pickup areas. Taxi trips have a $2.75 departure surcharge and an additional $1.00 surcharge between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.; senior citizens are eligible for a 10% discount.

Ride apps

Ride-app pickup is outside baggage claim on the arrivals level at Terminal A, west side, Door A-114; Terminal C, south side, Doors C-103 and C-104; and Terminal E, west side, Level 2, Zone 5. Pickup areas have “Ride App” signs, and drop-off is at the departures level of all terminals.

METRO serves IAH with Route 102, Bush IAH Express, and Route 500, IAH Downtown Direct. Route 500 runs nonstop between IAH and downtown Houston and has a $4.50 fare. Route 102 serves IAH, Greenspoint and downtown Houston.

These routes do not establish a direct service to Humble, and their operating hours and stops do not provide enough detail to plan a Humble-bound trip. Check METRO’s current route details before relying on transit, and confirm how you will reach your final address. Local travel choices in town are outlined in this guide to getting around Humble.

A RideMETRO Fare Card costs $2 and can be loaded with money at designated locations. Check current fare and card details with METRO before travelling.

Choose your pickup method before you leave the terminal, then follow the location for that specific service. Taxi stands, ride-app pickup and private-car pickup are separate areas, even when they are all on the arrivals level.

Private-car pickup is outside baggage claim on the arrivals level. Pickup points include Terminal A north side, Door A-113; Terminal C north side, Door C-102; and Terminal E south side, Door E 103B. Terminal curbside parking is not permitted, so a driver should use a designated pickup arrangement rather than wait at the curb.

IAH has two free cell-phone lots that are open 24 hours; drivers must remain with their vehicles. The John F. Kennedy Boulevard lot is at 17010 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, Houston, TX 77032, and the Will Clayton Parkway lot is at 5703 Will Clayton Parkway, Humble, TX 77338.
