    Default Getting from Houston to Galveston

    My girlfriend and I and I are going on a 7 day cruise end of September and Im now trying to figure out how tio get from Houston to Galveston. We were going to rent a car but it will be $335 for the week plus $65 for parking. Anyone use the shuttles?

    Cruise lines don't shuttle?

    Looks like there's an Amtrak service?

    Uber? - quick google search "A quick search of Uber shows a ride from Houston Intercontinental Airport to the Port of Galveston would cost $77 – $103 one way. You can expect to pay about $125 – $150 for the same trip via cab."

    A google of "Houston to Galveston transportation" reveals lots of options, including limo service if you want to impress her

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.

    I would use the shuttle service if the cruise line is offering one.

    Grew up there. You don't want to drive in Houston anyway. Let someone else drive. It's just a straight line down 45; there's no scenery worth noting until you get to the Causeway.

    This, it is a long straight highway with nothing to see on the trip down. There are a number of worthwhile restaurants in Galveston now however. I Lived in Houston for 8 years. And for a year or so was driving from Northwest Houston to Galveston Island for work every day with a return trip in the evening,I know every inch of that road by heart.
