joepeka Posted February 17 #6 Share Posted February 17 We are using Galveston Limo for our cruise this summer and dealing with them thus far has been very smooth. They do require a 20% non-refundable deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beshears Posted February 19 #9 Share Posted February 19 Checking on this too. The only difference, we HAVE transportation to the hotel. We just need transportation from the hotel to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kstrittm Posted February 25 #11 Share Posted February 25 Just disembarked today. Used Galveston Saltwater Moms and was impressed. They were reasonably priced, on time, and clearly communicated logistics information. They have a Facebook page. I highly recommend them. Plus, who wouldn’t want to help a Mom? Lol. Picked me up at Hobby and took me to a hotel in Galveston. Then after the cruise, they took me back to Hobby. They also cover IAH… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used their service a year ago from IAH. For our next cruise, we are flying into Hobby. How long was it from Hobby? Also, just wondering if your driver offered to stop at Bucees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no offer, but I am certain she would have stopped if requested... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC State Posted February 27 #14 Share Posted February 27 If you used Galveston Express or Saltwater Moms what hotel did they take you (from Hobby to Galveston)? and how much did they charge you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do require a 20% non-refundable deposit. A follow up regarding our experience with Galveston Limo this past week. It was fantastic. The reservation process was easy and some subsequent changes we had to make due to airline changes were handled without any issue. We received text and phone call contact 24 hours prior to each reservation to confirm (much appreciated). The drivers (Mark and Kara/Kira) were nothing short of patient and friendly with our group of eleven and volumes of luggage. They were always early, they called when they arrived at our pickup location, waited for us when airline/cruise line delays kept us tied up longer than planned and maintained a great attitude. Galveston Limo was not inexpensive for a private, 14 passenger van but it was well worth it knowing we had dedicated ground transportation that was there for us on each leg. We highly recommend! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare S.A.M.J.R. Posted August 5 #19 Share Posted August 5 As I said somewhere, we ended up using LiveryHouston. They were the cheapest. We had 8 in our party, they picked us up in a Sprinter that seated 14 and had plenty of room for luggage. The van was clean, we had plenty of room, and there were built in USB C ports for charging if you needed it. Our driver was prompt both directions (even early to get us to the cruise). I would definitely use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, it was 45 - 50 minutes to Hobby; maybe a tad more. No mention of Bucees, but I'm sure they'd be happy to make a pit stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
