Transportation Recommendations in Galveston

[Love4Cruising]

We are cruising out of Galveston in June and are looking for recommendations for transportation services. We need transportation for a party of 8 from our hotel to the port and then from the port to the airport. Anyone have any recommendations??

In my research the most cost-effective way seems to be Uber or Lyft.  One Question for someone that really knows... Can Uber get into the port of Galveston?  As of December, they still did not have the clearance to enter the port.  The difference is using Uber vs Lyft.

An Operating Agreement with Uber was unanimously approved by the Port of Galveston on 24 May 2023. Uber has finally agreed to the Port’s terms and the agreement is the same as Lyft's agreement, including a $2.00 fee for each pick up and drop off.

You may check with the hotel you are staying at.  They may have a service fir a fee setup or can give you information about a service that isn't uber/lyft/taxi.
