sredish Posted June 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Curious if anyone has used Uber or Lyft from Hobby to Galveston/Galveston to Hobby since legislation was passed and they are now allowed back on the island? What rate did you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspectre Posted June 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Might take a bit of time to get feedback. The law was signed May 29, so this week is probably the first week that cruisers have started using it. The Uber app will give you a quote if you put in the route and date. I presume Lyft does the same thing but I haven't used them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted June 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Uber also has several classes of cars/suvs all with different cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg194 Posted June 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'd like to use Uber in October. I'm watching this thread for information. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted July 14, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just bumping this to see if anyone has taken an UBER of any type from Hobby to the port. Cost? How long did it take for the driver to get you once you requested? Just curious! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumonami Posted July 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Not bad if 2 persons sharing. There were.... but beyond that is ease of use. No stops, no waiting, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Thank you! That's a great rate for two people (even better if the car could hold four). In the past we booked with Galveston Express and were left stranded at Hobby for three hours because the driver never came to get us (despite several calls assuring us he was "on his way")...so we're staying away from that this time!!

1Texansgo Posted July 25, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We have a house on Galveston Island and we Ubered from house to Rudy and Paco's (about 11/2 miles) and it was less than six bucks. I asked the driver about availability Sunday from the cruise piers and he indicated that there were enough Uber drivers for the demand and he didn't feel like passengers had much of a wait for post cruise transportation to Houston airports.

E@syPe@zy Posted July 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This will be a very nice addition to the transportation choices. Hope to hear more reviews of both Uber and Lyft in the near future. The price of a one way car rental is beyond ridiculous, sad to say. And Carnival's transportation is pricey and takes forever to fill the bus and drop off passengers. Won't be doing that again. Came within minutes of missing our flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumonami Posted July 30, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Just returned from a RCI cruise out of Galveston- ubered from Hobby to house in Galveston, then all around G for the weekend, to the port (1 min wait at 10 am), then to Houston straight off the ship... All lovely drivers and couldn't be easier. Prices were well under shuttles, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian12 Posted July 31, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 31, 2017 What's the better option to and from Galveston port? Uber vs Lyft? I see there are some discount codes for Lyft but most reviews are for Uber. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
