Drive Time at IAH

Assuming I hop into a cab at 3:15ish on a Thursday, approximately how long should it take that cab to get from the Westin Galleria to IAH?

perfect world 30 minutes. Realistically 45. Worst case budget an hour or make sure you or the drive checks the transtar traffic webpage it will show which freeway is clear (it can be found abc13.com or chron.com)

It's a game I wouldn't play with less than an hour in hand. As noted, optimal 30 minutes, likely 45....

The Loop can get pretty ugly any time of day, and at that time it's already pushing into rush hour.

Agree with above answers, allow an hour.
