Houston Bush Airport is connected to both cities by direct train lines. A large number of car rental companies are also available.
Car rental
Houston itself is not a major tourist destination. Therefore, it is best for travelers to rent a car right at the airport and set off to explore Texas.
Prices for a weekly rental are around 310 usd.
Taxi, Uber, Lyft
The fastest and most convenient way to get to Houston and the surrounding area is via the ubiquitous taxi or Uber or Lyft mobile apps.
It takes about 30 minutes by car to get to downtown Houston in the early morning or late evening. During the day, depending on congestion, travel time can extend to 60 minutes.
The average taxi fare to downtown Houston is 57 usd. Services like Uber and Lyft can offer significantly lower prices from 35 usd.
