Markmom18 Posted March 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2018 We got off the Freedom this morning. We're staying overnight at the Doubletree Houston Hobby tonight. As soon as cleared customs AND were outside the Carnival Cruise Terminal at Galveston, my husband used his UBER APP. In just a couple of minutes our Uber driver was there loading up our bags. We had 8 suitcases, for 4 adults. COST: $91, plus the $20 Tip. Tomorrow morning, we'll get an Uber to take us to the Hobby Airport. Which is literally across the street! But, it is an Airport, not a house, so we do need that transportation to get to the SW Terminal. :) Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than $6 Uber or Lyft https://ride.guru/estimate/8181%20Airport%20Blvd,%20Houston,%20TX%2077061,%20USA/Houston,%20TX%2077061,%20USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1025cruise Posted March 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The hotel doesn't have a shuttle you could take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted March 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Might consider https://galvestonexpress.com/ for transportation to/from the port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markmom18 Posted March 5, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi, I just wanted to share our transportation cost. I'm not here to persuade anyone on any travel choice available. UBER was $106 Hobby to Galveston Port. And $91 from Port to Hotel literally across the street from Hobby. YES! We found that the Doubletree shuttles its guests to Hobby for FREE. So, of course we used them this morning. We called on pricing (Galveston Express) : HOBBY to Port : $25 pp. We still decided to use Uber. The difference was $6 more TOTAL for the 4 of us. Just providing info folks .... Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiamomof2 Posted March 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Was the Uber price you quoted for an Uber XL (larger car with more trunk space) or regular Uber X (the economy priced smaller car)? I'm getting a quote of $41-58 each way for the smaller one and just want to make sure that is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
