My family (family of 5) are going out of Galveston in September and I'd like to get something on the books. Who we have used in the past is not a viable option anymore. Thanks! THIS IS AN OLD THREAD! Everything is improving in Galveston: New hotels, motels in Galveston have been built and more being built and planned.

rp23g7 Posted May 26, 2017 #53 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Last time I cruise out of Galveston. I have figured it out though. Rent a car from Airport budget, (AAA, or Boeing discount) $30. Drive to port, drop stuff off, drive back to Texas City Budget, take their shuttle, or Lyft, or Uber, or Get Me, back to port for $20 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satex Posted June 1, 2017 #59 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Galveston Limo!!! We are arriving at Houston Hobby and will take the Galveston Limo shuttle from the airport to the Country Inn and Suites and will return to Houston Hobby being picked up at the cruise port upon return to Galveston after our cruise. Total cost $40 per person when you book on line. (the hotel wanted $95 for the two of us just for a ride to the hotel). Without a doubt, the cheapest transportation to and from Galveston.

nealstuber Posted June 21, 2017 #64 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yeah, but they want $270 for a car, no matter if you rent for 24 hrs or a hr I'm top tier with National and was told basically the same thing. We downsized from our minivan since the last time we drove up there with the kids and there was no way all of our stuff would fit in the back of our Cherokee. We had already ordered a clam for the roof when DW came across a special rate code for teachers and called them. We now have a pair of one way rentals in a minivan, $59 each way, all taxes and fees. Clam is being returned and we'll save on parking. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
