Need-a-vacation Posted June 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I would seriously look at a car service option of you are going straight between airport and Galveston . The round trip between the port and Texas city is easily 45 minutes with no traffic problems. Plus you will spend time screwing with the rental car both at iah and Texas city. It was probably a fluke, but last year I waited nearly 30 minutes to return my car at Texas city. There was one person working the counter and the customer ahead of me had something weird going on with her rental contact and they spent forever trying to contact the office where she had rented the car, etc. Also be aware the Texas city location may not always be open the same days as airport locations. It is closed for our departure on July 3rd. Definitely run the numbers and figure out if the extra hassle is worth the savings . With drop fees, rental cost for a van, gas, and cab fare, you may not save much compared to curb-to-curb service. And make sure you do a reality check on getting that many people and their luggage in a mini-van. For one trip, we had a mini van and a Dodge Dakota pickup for 8 adults and both were crammed to the rafters. Good luck!
