As you plan your departure, note that IAH is approximately 26 miles from the city centre, making taxis, limousine services and regular bus services excellent transport options. You can catch a bus easily from the METRORail Downtown Transit Center station, with services running every 30 minutes.
If you are driving, the airport offers over 25,000 parking spaces, including economy parking at the ecopark, connected to the terminals via a free shuttle service. Once inside, navigating between the five terminals is simple using the underground inter-terminal train or the shuttle bus connecting Terminals A, B and C.
