Hi there, we are first time cruisers and will be visiting Texas for first time - two adults, two children - flying into IAH - we are renting a car at AVIS for a couple of days - booked on Avis.com - pick up at the airport on Thurs to go around houston and galveston, and dropping it to Texas City/Galveston for Sunday morning - Sears Auto Centre open 10 am-2pm. Costs approx $70 to rent for three days. Avis has a shuttle to transport you from the auto centre in galveston to the cruise - just have to book it - approx 20 mins drive - costs $50 for all of us combined. Worth it to us, as we want our own car to vacation and explore with the children prior to the cruise and do some attractions! We have a car booked for when we get off the cruise at Avis as well - to drive back to IAH. Hope this helps!
