Port Galveston to Houston Airport (Bush)

[Esahuma]

The last time we sailed out of Galveston it was on a TA so we did not have to worry about getting back from port to airport -

 

We will be doing B2B on Liberty end of January 2017 and we have a rental car for the before trip -

 

Does anyone know how much Liberty charges for Ship to Airport transfers?

 

Would we do better booking one way with shuttle service for $50 each?

 

Maybe book private transport and offer it to others?

 

Advice?

 

Thanks

Royal charges $47 per person for transfers from Galveston to Bush.

See if you can hookup with others on your roll call, several years ago we joined two other couples and paid 13.00 each to go to Hobby with a pre arranged and pre paid Super Shuttle. IAH shouldn't be much more.. happy cruising

I don't know how much, but I am sure Super Shuttle would be a lot more than $13 in a shared van now. I would guess more like $30 or 40. Super Shuttle charges standard rates for shared vans and passengers don't have to have a group, the company fills the van or not. Anyway, last I checked Super Shuttle didn't offer service between Galveston and Houston. Also, Bush is quite much farther than Hobby. The $47. ship charter seems pretty reasonable to me.

Thank you everyone - I was thinking that $47 is not bad considering that a private van company wants $50 round trip or $35 one way - that is his price for 'today' will check with him as we get closer to the that date!

Have used Galveston Limo, which is a shuttle service. They were excellent and would use again. Last time I checked, however, they were just about the same price as cruise line.
