IAH to Galveston the day before sailing

There will be 6 adults.  What's the best and most economical way to get from Houston to a Galveston hotel the day before sailing?  Thanks!

If you are trying to economize, I would book transfers through the cruise lines. If you want private service, we have used Z Limo and Super Shuttle. Given the size of your group, you might be able to get a larger ride from either of those providers for a very similar per person price to the cruise line shuttle.

 

If everyone in your group can walk comfortably, you might consider staying at Harbor House or Tremont House. I stayed at Harbor House (video link) before my cruise last month, and it was an easy 5 minute walk over with luggage. After the cruise I walked with my luggage to Tremont House, had breakfast, and waited for a family member to pick me up. Harbor House is a couple of minutes closer on foot; Tremont has more upscale amenities. Either is walkable to plenty of nice places to eat.

Super Shuttle and it’s sister company Execucar ceased operations effective 12/31/19.
