Giantfan13 Posted February 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Does anyone know if Uber picks up at the Galveston Cruise Terminal. I went to their web site, put in Galveston to Hobby and it came up NA. Does that mean that they do not do that route? Has anyone ever used Uber for that, or have booked them for travel on that route?

Galveston Cruiser Posted February 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Uber is not allowed in Galveston. They would not agree to background checks and finger printing. Link to post Share on other sites

Domergirl Posted February 17, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Is this a new development? I swear when we were planning our cruise, we checked Uber and got rates??? Now we're back at square 1!! Guess I'll keep reading through our options!! Edit: It looks like Uber will quote rates from Hobby Airport to Galveston...but not from Galveston to Hobby...is that right?

Domergirl Posted February 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Never mind. I see now (from a different post) that it was just effective Feb 1. Well...the good news is - I'm not crazy. The bad news is - I need to figure out how we are getting to/from the port! (Family of 5, flying in to Hobby the night before the cruise).

Barsnikel Posted February 17, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Uber did in fact stop Galveston service February 1st. HOWEVER, I believe you can still get Uber from Houston to Galveston, just not the other way around. In other words, they can drop off passengers in Galveston, but they cannot pick up passengers in Galveston. I'm not 100% certain about that, so verify it first Link to post Share on other sites
Timbek2 Posted February 17, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I hired one of the limo companies to transport our group of 5. It was the same cost as purchasing transfers through ship and we have our own vehicle with no extra stops. Worth checking into. Link to post Share on other sites
