It_Is_Me Posted January 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2017 For our group of 4 adults, the prices are nearly identical for renting a car or using a car service. For the car rental I included the price to park at the cruise terminal. Since price isn't a factor I want to choose the option that is more convenient. I'd like to hear your experiences. We are arriving at IAH at 10:30 pm and staying near the airport. Our cruise leaves the next day (Carnival Valor). On the return day our flight leaves from IAH at 1:05 pm.

jcc1025 Posted January 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2017 We have done this twice and always used a car service. Worked great, they know the traffic patterns and how to get around trouble, which happened on the first trip and sold us on using them from now on.

sugcarol Posted January 11, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) The only concern I would have 4 people in a car is how much luggage you might have, unless you are renting a van. I too would go for the car service. Edited January 11, 2017 by sugcarol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERLEC Posted January 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Which car service are you guys using normally from IAH to Galveston port? I'm closely looking at a cruise on the Carnival Breeze from Galveston. I would probably arrive the day before and stay in hotel close to airport and then take a car service on the cruise morning.

sugcarol Posted January 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2017 In the past we have booked hotel for night before, stayed at hotel at airport then following morning took hotel shuttle back to airport and got cruise transfers but this was only for 2 people.

It_Is_Me Posted January 16, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I just requested a quote from Galveston Limo for a private car for the 4 of us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted January 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2017 We are renting a car from IAH and coming in two days early so we can take the Tour at the NASA Space Center, then coming in the day of the cruise ( 30 min drive ) and leaving the car at the EZ lot and get shuttled over and pack.

jcc1025 Posted January 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We have used Elite Limo Service each time. They have been great. Would recommend them. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
