Houston is served by two major airports: George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and William P. Hobby (HOU). Choosing the right one can save you time, money, and stress.

George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is Houston's primary international airport, located about 23 miles north of downtown. It has five terminals and serves most major international carriers. IAH is the better choice for international flights, long-haul domestic routes, and if you're traveling to or from the north side of Houston (The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe).

William P. Hobby (HOU) is smaller, closer to downtown (about 7 miles), and primarily serves domestic routes via Southwest Airlines and a few other carriers. It's much easier to navigate with shorter security lines and quicker baggage claim. Hobby is ideal for short-haul domestic flights and if you're staying in downtown, Midtown, or the Medical Center.

Our recommendation: For international travel, fly into IAH. For domestic trips, especially with Southwest, Hobby is hard to beat. Either way, AvaLimo covers both airports with the same premium service — flight tracking included.

Your wedding day transportation is more than just a ride — it's part of the experience. Here's how to choose the perfect vehicle for your big day.

For the Bride & Groom: A Mercedes S-Class offers timeless elegance. With leather seating, ambient lighting, and a whisper-quiet cabin, it's the ultimate wedding car. Perfect for getting to the ceremony in style.

For the Wedding Party: A Cadillac Escalade can comfortably seat up to 6 passengers. It's spacious enough for dresses, suits, and last-minute touch-ups. The panoramic sunroof makes for amazing photos.

For Large Groups: The Mercedes Sprinter seats up to 14 guests and has high ceilings so nobody crushes their hair or dress. Reclining seats and premium sound make the ride part of the celebration.

Pro tip: Book your wedding transportation at least 2-3 months in advance, especially during peak season (March-June and September-November).

Houston is a city built on business. From the Energy Corridor to the Texas Medical Center, professionals are constantly on the move. Here's why a dedicated corporate chauffeur service makes sense for your company.

Maximize billable hours. When your team travels between meetings, a chauffeur allows them to work productively instead of focusing on traffic. The vehicle becomes a mobile office.

Simplify billing. With corporate accounts, all charges are consolidated into a single monthly invoice. No more expense report headaches or receipts to track.

Impress clients. Picking up VIP clients in a luxury vehicle sets the right tone. It shows attention to detail and a commitment to quality that reflects well on your company.

Houston has an incredible live music scene. Here are the top venues and how to arrive in style.

NRG Stadium — Home to mega-concerts and events. Parking is notoriously difficult. A chauffeur drops you at the gate and picks you up at the same spot after the show.

Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion — Located in The Woodlands, this outdoor venue is beautiful but challenging to navigate. Let us handle the drive.

House of Blues — Downtown. Valet parking is limited. Our service means no circling the block looking for parking.

Smart Financial Centre — Sugar Land's premier venue. With a chauffeur, you can enjoy the show without worrying about the drive home.

Pro tip: Book your ride in advance for concert nights — demand is high and prices stay the same with us (no surge!).

2026 wedding season in Houston is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. Here are the top trends and transportation tips.

Trend 1: Multi-venue weddings. Many couples are choosing separate venues for the ceremony and reception. That means more moving parts — and more need for reliable transportation between locations.

Trend 2: Late-night after-parties. After the reception, the celebration continues. Having a dedicated chauffeur means the party moves seamlessly from venue to venue.

Trend 3: Sustainable luxury. Couples are choosing quality over quantity. A single luxury vehicle for the wedding party is becoming more popular than a fleet of standard cars.

Transportation tip: Book group transportation for your out-of-town guests. It ensures everyone arrives on time and lets them enjoy the celebration without worrying about designated drivers.

Getting to IAH with the right timing can make or break your travel day. Here's our recommended timeline based on destination and time of day.

Domestic flights: Arrive 2 hours before departure. This gives you time for check-in, security (typically 15-30 minutes at IAH), and a comfortable walk to your gate.

International flights: Arrive 3 hours before departure. International check-in and customs documentation take longer, and security can be more thorough.

Peak times: Monday mornings (6-9 AM) and Thursday/Friday evenings (4-7 PM) are the busiest. Add 30 minutes during these windows.

With AvaLimo: We build in traffic buffers so you arrive with time to spare. Your chauffeur monitors your flight and adjusts pickup time if needed.

Two of our most popular vehicles serve different purposes. Here's how to choose between the Mercedes S-Class and the Cadillac Escalade.

Mercedes S-Class is the ultimate executive sedan. It seats up to 3 passengers in supreme comfort. Best for: airport transfers, business travel, romantic evenings, and when you want a quiet, refined ride.

Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury SUV seating up to 6 passengers. Best for: groups, families, shopping trips, and when you need more space for luggage or equipment.

Our take: If it's just you and one or two others, the S-Class offers a more intimate luxury experience. For groups of 3-6, the Escalade provides space without sacrificing comfort.
