Best Price Car Service from IAH to Galveston?

[K9CrazyGirl]

Has anybody priced limo/towncar companies from IAH to Galveston lately?

 

The company I used last year (Houston Limousine Network) has raised their prices significantly. $394 + Gratuity for 4 people, round trip. Last year it was $250!

 

Any leads on good deals would be appreciated.

 

We are sailing 5/27 and returning 6/3.

I found this that says it will pick you up at the airport. Sounded good to me.

Thanks for the suggestion. Has anyone used this service? We kind of liked having a car for just us and not having to have a million stops to let people on and off.

Supershuttle. Private van for up to 10 people. $145 each way.

Oklahoma Girl, do you know how to contact the Super Shuttle service?

It's only $100 from Hobby.

Is that price per person or for the entire group? :confused:

[oklahomagirl]

For the whole group. 10 people can fit in the van.

Does anyone know if they will stop at a nearby store to let you purchase water? When I called the 800 number that serves the whole U.S, they said it would just depend on the driver. I was wondering if anyone here has done this with the Houston Hobby-Galveston transfer?

Maybe they would stop for a fee. I just reserved Super Shuttle for my group (thanks for the suggestion Oklahomagirl).

 

The day we go home they are going to pick us all up at the pier and then go first to the airport and then to a hotel. Two people in my group are staying overnight and flying out the next day.

 

The charge to stop at the airport and the hotel was $10.

I have a couple of questions about the super shuttle:

 

1) Will it hold 10 people plus the luggage for 10 people? I can imagine there being 10 to 20 pieces of luggage.

 

2) How do you know what time to have them pick you up from the cruise terminal when you arrive back in port?
