If you are an international student, you may use our airport pickup services:

The IISS Office understands how difficult it can be to know your way when you first arrive in a new country. Because of this, we offer a one-time, courtesy service to first-time international students. We arrange for a university vehicle pick-up for new international students when they land in Houston. Please read the following guidelines for more information:
Only first-time, new international students can request a van pick-up from the airport when they initially arrive in Houston.
Requests should be made as early as possible -- preferably two (2) weeks in advance of arrival date.
Non-online requests must be made directly with staff (281-283-2575).. Requests given through the van drivers will not be accepted.

Because it is difficult to secure university vehicles, requests cannot be guaranteed! However, the IISS office will try its best to arrange for pick-ups if they are given enough notice. IISS will be in communication with you (via email) as to the status of your request.

If we can not arrange a pick-up, consider getting a taxi cab. Please realize that this may cost up to $50. Another option is the Galveston Limousine Service. For further information, please call (409) 740-5466 or (800) 640-4826
