The IISS office understands how difficult it can be when you first arrive in a new country. Because of this, we offer a one-time, courtesy service to first-time international students. Transportation arrangements can be made for a university vehicle to pick-up new incoming international students at George Bush Intercontinental Airport or Hobby Airport. Please read the following guidelines for more information.

Guidelines for Airport pick-ups for new students:

• Only first-time, new incoming students can request a van pick-up for university transportation from the airport when they initially arrive in Houston.
• Requests should be made as early as possible. Preferably 2 weeks in advance of arrival date.
• In order to receive a confirmation, you are required to provide us with the address of your drop-off location.
• For the safety of our drivers, no airport pickups will be offered after 9pm (Central Time).
• Because it is difficult to secure university vehicles, requests can not be guaranteed! However, the IISS office will try its best to arrange for pick-ups if given enough notice. IISS will be in communication with you (via email) as to the status of your request.
• If we can not arrange transportation, consider using a taxi cab. Please realize that this may cost up to $50.00. One option is Super Shuttle. For further information, please call 800-258-3826 or visit the website www.supershuttle.com. Other option is the Galveston Limousine Service. For further information, please call 409-740-5466, 800-640-4826.
• To be eligible for the airport pick-up service, the students must register for the New International Student Orientation using their E-Services account.
