Galveston, TX - Galveston Express Transportation

[beshears]

We are comparing Princess transportation rates to Galveston Express. With the 8 of us, there will be 5 of us that have the senior rate. If you have used or know of someone that has used Galveston Express, would you give me the pros/cons on this transportation.

I have used at least 10 times.  Never a problem.  Very friendly drivers.

With needing that many seats i would book sooner than later. The shuttles are not very big.

did not have a good experience with Galveston Express 1/14 and 1/21, disorganized at Hobby and no show on the 21st, ended taking an Uber, did not answer the phones just voice mail when no one showed up. Several people waiting in blustery cold weather.

Thanks for letting us know. Sorry this happened to you. Any explantation from the company? Somewhat understandable last week but not sure about today.

OK I’m surprised the can take that many people. They used a small shuttle bus when we used them last year.

I have used them several times and had great experiences.  They last time was 14 month ago.  I am looking at booking them for my November cruise.

However, info in this thread may be helpful to other members researching the company. Thread OPs are not the only people looking for information on a subject.

That’s true but the OP might have been prompted to return and say who they chose and why they did, or didn’t, go with Galveston Express which I thought might also be useful to others.
