William P. Hobby Airport Travel FAQs

HOU was renamed William P. Hobby Airport in 1967 after the former Texas governor of the same name. William Hobby was the 27th governor of the Lone Star State and served from 1917 to 1921. (Source)

Yes and no. Houston is incredibly easy to navigate, making driving easier than many large cities. However, as one of the largest cities in the United States, many people are on the road, and you can expect heavy traffic. We recommend leaving a few minutes early when driving to your destinations and using an app or GPS to find the best traffic routes. (Source)

A car is strongly recommended to get around Houston. Access to a vehicle will help you save time exploring Houston’s best attractions, and strict public transportation schedules won’t limit you. Additionally, a Budget rental car can help you avoid expensive ride-share services. 

It’s nearly 10 miles from the HOU airport to downtown Houston. After picking up your Budget rental, reaching the downtown area will likely take about 20 to 30 minutes. Just going from the airport to downtown? As long as you book a one-way trip in advance, you can use nearly any U.S. Budget location as an alternative drop-off location, including all Budget locations in Houston. (Source)

Yes, IAH is bigger than HOU. The IAH airport is the second-busiest airport in Texas, serving over 40 million passengers annually compared to HOU’s 13 million annual passengers. Additionally, IAH covers 10,000 acres and has five runways. The HOU airport covers just 1,304 acres and has three runways. If you choose to fly into IAH, you can find Budget rental cars there, too.
