What to do and see in Galveston, Texas (TX): The Best Transportation
More than 30 miles of beaches plus a wealth of cultural and historic institutions make this island a Gulf of Mexico vacation hot spot. If you go, don't forget your walking shoes: With 14 museums and 20 art galleries, plus several historic homes and mansions, there's a lot of ground to cover. Armchair pilots will love the Lone Star Flight Museum and those with more of a nautical interest can check out the Texas Seaport Museum.

It's easy to get caught up in all the activities, but don't forget to spend some downtime in the sun and on the beach.

We contacted Jeff's cabs to transport my mother and mother in law on their way to a cruise. They picked them both up along with their many, many, bags of luggage and got them to their drop off point with no issues. My mom and MIL complemented their driver because he made them feel comfortable. My mother had recently had knee surgery and needed extra help with luggage and her wheel chair and the driver made her feel at ease. They had a wonderful cruise. Thank you Jeff!!

It’s just kind of exciting to ride your bike onto the fairy and go across the bay and just see all the things and smell the Seabreeze and take pictures of the seagulls flying across the ferry boat and watching the ships go by.You also sometimes get a chance to see the dolphins swimming next to the ferry which is kind of neat as well.

We were a group of 12 girlfriends that reserved the Galveston Shuttle and Limo to take us from our beach house to dinner every night! George was our driver and he was amazing!! He was always on time and a perfect gentleman! We wanted a shuttle so no one had to be a designated driver AND we could bring our beverage in the shuttle. Leave the driving to Galveston Shuttle and Limousine and enjoy your holiday safely. After dinner George drove us to see the Tiffany stained glass window. He would have taken us anywhere to see the city after dinner. Totally worth the money and highly recommend their services.

We used Galveston Flyer to get our family from IAH to the Port of Galveston, and back to the airport again after our cruise. The experience couldn’t have been better! Rates were totally reasonable, and the van was clean, comfortable, and on time for both legs of our trip. The driver was friendly and skilled at navigating the traffic around Houston. We would recommend Galveston Flyer to anyone looking for easy, dependable service.

Before traveling to Austin on business, I made reservations with Galveston Express to return from Houston Hobby Airport to my home on Galveston Island. Carter, the sales representative, patiently listened to my detailed concerns and questions. He reassured this inexperienced traveler, Galveston Express would be able to meet my specific needs with utmost patience and professionalism. True to his word, my coming home from Austin to Galveston Island was a reassuring and safe experience. Despite the time of day being around the Friday afternoon traffic rush hour with "nippy" weather, our van driver was on time, courteous and respectful as he greeted customers and in loading everyone's personal belongings. Of special note to those who are unfamiliar with the route from Houston Hobby to Galveston Island, the current route to Galveston (I-45 South) is currently experiencing heavy construction. Our driver, to his credit, safely and successfully navigated through unique route challenges that can only come from being familiar with the area. Please accept my gratitude for ensuring professional integrity by consistently demonstrating safety awareness, courtesy, and respect for your passengers. It is great to be home. Thank you!
8. Galveston Limousine
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 73 reviews
We are a true full service transportation company that offers everything from sedans to buses and more. One of the service we offer is a shared Airport Shuttle, this is our most economic means of transportation and great for cruise transfers. Our Shuttle leaves from Galveston every 2 hours starting at 7:30AM IAH at 8:30AM and HOU at 9:30AM. A cautionary disclosure we like to make about this service is that on sundays things tend to run behind about 30 minutes from the cruise ship. We ask that everyone make travel plans with this in mind. Private transfers however can leave whenever you like and typically wait on you as long as necessary. In addition have a wide verity of late model buses that can move large groups to and from just about anywhere Galveston Limousine is fully licensed in Galveston and Houston. We are also a licensed interstate motor carrier which means we can pick your group up out of state. If there is any questions you might have please call or email.

Our party of eight adults took a private van from our hotel in Houston to the Galveston port, then back from the port to IAH. With a group this big, the service was less expensive than eight shuttle rides, or the cruise line rate. Joey, our driver, was the best. Early to pick up, professional, engaging, and got us there in plenty of time. In fact, he knew exactly when our ship docked early (beating the fog) so he was waiting early for our return trip. The way to go for us.
