Taxi Houston to Galveston

I usually use a shuttle service but this time it will be $600 for my group round trip to Galveston has anybody ever just got a taxi at the airport to Galveston if so what was the price

We were quoted $100 for the taxi trip from Hobby to Galveston.

You didn't say which airport but I will use Hobby for the calculations.

$2.75 meter drop

$1.25 departure fee from the airport

$2.20 per mile @ 40 miles

you would be right at $92.00. Plus tip.

Since it is a cab I wouldn't plan on more than 4 with luggage. That would be just over $50 per person round trip.

I am trying to decide Cab or shuttle for our trip next year, IAH to our Hotel then after the cruise, back to IAH.What is the earliest flight we should look at after our cruise and getting back to IAH

Assuming you are asking about Liberty of the Seas, this will figure out what the cruise line recommends:

Hi Bob I can't get any results to show up, tried it earlier and yes it is the Liberty. Based upon the distance back to Bush I feel we should take a flight after 1 PM.

We used RCCL transfers to and from HOU. For two people it works well and is fairly cheap. We had a 12:30pm flight and were there very early. This year we have a later flight so will rent a car for the week. When we get off the ship we pick up the car and explore Galveston until our flight. Using RCCL transfers will get you off the ship early as they want those buses headed to the airports to pick up arriving passengers.

We flew into Hobby on Saturday and our family of 6 took a taxi to a Galveston hotel for $102 + $20 tip. We sailed on the Liberty April 3rd and had a great trip. Upon return, we took a taxi from the port to a Hobby hotel for $108 +$22 tip. Our flight left Monday morning so we had to spend Sunday night near the airport. The taxis worked great and was the best deal for six of us (me, wife and 4 kids.) I researched all options for weeks before dedicing on this route. All went well.

Thanks for this info. Did you need to book a taxi van in advance for 6 people, or there we resume available at he airport and cruise port? Thanks.

What taxi did you contact? Looking at cabs for next year for my son and mother in law. She will be 81 and uses a walker. It would be easier for her in a taxi vs. A shuttle van.

Try Pink Taxis Galveston.. John and his wife Tate own the Pink Taxis.

John is fantastic, polite, friendly, knowledgeable, considerate and passionate about Galveston. We haven't used Tate yet.
