LoriSan Posted January 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2018 We are flying into Dallas a few days early, then driving a rental to Galveston on Sat for Sunday cruise. I see that Enterprise is the only car rental company available on the island, and is charging a drop fee for the one way rental. I prefer Alamo, but would use anyone that's not going to gouge me. I do not need to stay right at the port the night before, but would like to be relatively close. How far away would I have to stay to be able to conveniently use a different rental car company? Preferably close enough that it's convenient on Sunday to return the car and get to the port. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted January 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I would say from Dallas you'll probably have a drop off from anyone. Why not fly from Dallas to Houston and then take a shuttle to Galveston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff61 Posted January 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2018 There's a budget rent a car on I45 in Texas City that Uber quoted $20 from there to the Port of Galveston Sent from my SM-G950W using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriSan Posted January 10, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Why not fly from Dallas to Houston and then take a shuttle to Galveston? I hadn't considered that. Not a bad idea. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted January 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I hadn't considered that. Not a bad idea. Thanks And use Southwest from Love Field to Hobby. You'll be much closer to Galveston once you land at Hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriSan Posted January 10, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Southwest is currently $106 pp (x3). I'd save $160 on the Enterprise rental and a few hours drive, not counting the additional shuttle cost to the seaport. Does Southwest seem to drop much lower?
