Maggiegirl22 Posted January 6 #1 Share Posted January 6 Trying to come up with other options traveling from Dallas area to Houston? (Our car is aging). Car rentals are pretty high (one day and weekly rates). Airfare pretty high also. Has anyone taken Greyhound bus which is pretty cost efficient? Would uber from Houston to Port of Galveston. Appreciate feedback from anyone who has utilized Greyhound bus. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika8347 Posted January 6 #2 Share Posted January 6 There is nice transport group entitled 'salt water moms' that run transports between HOU/IAH. I tried to use them last year and called in January, but they were already booked for March! Super friendly and good prices. Personally, I would NOT trust the bus to get you there on time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusin okie Posted January 6 #3 Share Posted January 6 Von Lane bus service is available from Dallas to Houston for about $200 pp round trip. Greyhound is about $70 pp round trip. Airfare is around $275 pp round trip. Regardless of mode of transportation, add shuttle/Uber - cost unknown. Your choice. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txjim09 Posted January 6 #6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Can strongly recommend Vonlane but have since seen that RedCoach has seats almost as nice and is significantly cheaper, about $50 RT Edited January 6 by txjim09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big price difference between Vonlane and Greyhound BUT Vonlane is a luxury bus. https://vonlane.com/ Noel Phillips (he does a lot of vlogs on air travel) compared Vonlane to a private jet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV7Adkx09F8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normandes Posted February 11 #10 Share Posted February 11 If you take the Greyhound Bus , be very cautious at the Houston Downtown bus terminal. A lot of shady characters and definitely not safe at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longhorn2004 Posted February 12 #12 Share Posted February 12 Buy your airline ticket in advance and the price will not be that different. Coming off a cruise you just want to get home, not sit for a slow bus ride home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
