The chauffeur tracks your flight from wheels-up, meets you inside IAH baggage claim with a printed name sign, or coordinates Port of Houston Bayport Cruise Terminal for VIP arrivals routing off the main terminals. 60 minutes of complimentary wait time on domestic, 90 on international. One Houston account contact. One consolidated invoice. Same standard in 600 cities.

What is IAH car service and how does it work?

IAH car service is chauffeured ground transportation to or from George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Sugar Land Regional (SGR), Fort Lauderdale (HOU), and Houston's executive fields. LAAC dispatches a Business Sedan, First-Class Sedan, Business SUV, or Executive Sprinter based on party size and luggage. The chauffeur tracks the flight, meets inside baggage claim with a name sign at IAH, or at the FBO lobby / aircraft ramp at SGR — with 60 minutes of complimentary wait time on arrivals (90 on international).

How much does IAH airport car service cost?

IAH transfers are priced per-transfer with an all-in quote before booking — chauffeur, fuel, tolls, parking, and a printed meet-and-greet sign included. A Business Sedan transfer between IAH and Downtown Houston, Downtown Houston, or Downtown Houston typically starts in the low three figures; First-Class Sedan, SUV, and Sprinter scale from there. No surge, no holiday multipliers, no IAH airport-access surcharge on the invoice.

Do you meet passengers inside baggage claim at IAH?

Yes. Meet-and-greet at IAH baggage claim is included on every arrival — the chauffeur parks, walks into the terminal with a printed name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts to the vehicle. 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from wheels-down (90 on international arrivals through IAH International Concourse J). IAH curbside curbside express pickup is also available on request.

Do you serve Opa-locka and Houston's private aviation airports?

Yes. LAAC handles ramp and FBO-lobby pickup at Sugar Land Regional (SGR), Fort Lauderdale (HOU), Palm Beach (EFD), and Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) — coordinated with the flight crew and FBO. First-Class Sedan and CEO Jet Sprinter are the standard aircraft-side vehicles; Business SUV and Executive Sprinter dispatched for families and full-manifest arrivals. Port of Houston Bayport Cruise Terminal at IAH is a full-service program with its own protocol.

Questions we get from executives, travel managers, and families.

How far in advance should I book a IAH airport transfer?

24 hours is comfortable for routine transfers; 2–4 hours works for most arrivals with fleet availability. For peak morning departures (5:00–7:00 AM), Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) weekends, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Super Bowl / championship weekends at NRG Stadium, or executive group arrivals with multiple vehicles, book 3–7 days ahead to lock the chauffeur and Sprinter.

What if my flight is delayed or arrives early at IAH?

LAAC tracks every inbound flight from wheels-up at the origin airport. Chauffeur arrival is timed to your actual landing, not the scheduled time, and the 60-minute complimentary wait window starts from wheels-down at IAH (90 minutes on international). No surprise wait fees for flight delays.

Do you handle same-day and last-minute IAH bookings?

Yes, subject to fleet availability. Message the Houston desk via Customer Care chat — same-day sedan and SUV requests are usually confirmed within 15 minutes. Sprinter, coach, and multi-vehicle requests need more lead time, especially during Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) week and production wraps.

Can you use Port of Houston Bayport Cruise Terminal at IAH?

Yes. LAAC coordinates chauffeur pickup on the tarmac side of Port of Houston Bayport Cruise Terminal — a full-service program that routes VIP arrivals off the main terminals entirely. Executive Sprinter is the default vehicle for wardrobe, camera rigs, glam, and security in one cabin; First-Class SUV for principals traveling light. Port of Houston membership or day-pass required and billed separately by PS.

Can you coordinate IAH ↔ SGR cross-airport transfers?

Yes. For clients arriving commercial at IAH and repositioning to their jet at Opa-locka (or vice versa), LAAC dispatches a First-Class Sedan or Business SUV coordinated with both flight crews so the chauffeur is on-site at both ends — including tail-number-briefed pickup at Wilson Air Center IAH, Signature (SGR), Jet Aviation SGR, or Atlantic Aviation HOU.

Are LAAC chauffeurs W2 employees, background-screened, and insured?

Yes. LAAC chauffeurs are W2 employees — background-screened, drug-tested, MVR-verified, and covered by commercial livery insurance. Coach chauffeurs are CDL-licensed and DOT hours-of-service compliant. No 1099 contractors, no gig platform, no surge drivers.

Do you provide receipts and corporate billing for IAH transfers?

Every transfer receives a signed digital receipt with chauffeur name, vehicle number, pickup and drop times, and route. Approved corporate accounts receive one consolidated monthly invoice with GL coding and cost-center allocation — net-30 terms on approval. No per-transfer credit-card churn.

Can you handle car seats and family transfers from IAH?

Yes. Rear-facing infant, forward-facing toddler, and booster seats are available on request with 24-hour notice. Business SUV and Executive Sprinter are the standard family vehicles at IAH — the Sprinter fits a family plus stroller, car seats, and full-week luggage in one cabin, direct to Memorial, River Oaks, or River Oaks.

Do you cover IAH curbside pickup vs meet-and-greet?

Both. Curbside express: the chauffeur stages in the IAH cell-phone lot with your flight up on the tracker, and pulls to the arrivals level (or IAH curbside if required) the moment you call from baggage claim. Meet-and-greet with a printed name sign inside baggage claim is the default — preferred by families, principals, and international arrivals.

Do you cover airport transfers nationwide, not just IAH?

Yes. LAAC covers airport transfers at every major U.S. and international airport under the same standard — JFK, LGA, EWR, ATL, IAH, ORD, DFW, LHR, CDG, DXB, and 590+ others. One Houston account contact, one consolidated invoice, worldwide.

What's the difference between IAH car service and a rideshare?

IAH car service is a pre-booked, chauffeured transfer in a commercial-livery-insured vehicle with a W2 chauffeur, flight tracking, meet-and-greet inside baggage claim, and a fixed all-in price. Rideshare is a variable-price hail from an unvetted driver at the IAH curbside rideshare pickup zone with no meet-and-greet, no flight tracking, and surge pricing at peak times.
