EdmundXXIII Posted April 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm flying into Bush Airport in Houston (IAH) in August for a cruise out of Galveston. I'm flying in one day before the cruise, and staying at a hotel in Galveston. According to the Uber app, I can get from the airport to Galveston for about $90 to $100, which seems reasonable. However, I understand Uber cannot pickup people in Galveston. With that in mind, does anyone know whether Uber drivers are willing to actually drive you there?

txgolfergrl Posted May 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I don't know if Uber will even still be in Houston by that time. They just pulled out of Austin because of bureacracy. It's my understanding it may happen in Houston, as well. Heck, I live about 20 mins from Galveston. I'll come get you and take you back. :) Edited May 16, 2016 by txgolfergrl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted May 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Uber is not permitted to operate in Houston or Galveston. AS long as they refuse to have driver background checks and fingerprints, they are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galveston Cruiser Posted May 17, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Uber is not allowed to operate according to Mayor Turner last night. Only those who have background checks, fingerprinted and have Houston license may operate legally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes-a-beach Posted May 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Turner is just another 1d10t mayor. Houston just keeps electing 1d10ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
