golfpccc Posted August 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Just read about a new ride share company operating between Houston airports and Galveston called Get Me. Works the same as Uber - Uber is not allowed in Galveston. They have a discount code GCT that you can enter when you pay for 50% off. Google them or go to Galveston cruise tips dot com for all the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibby937 Posted August 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I am extremely interested in this service. Anyone actually used them from Houston hobby to the Galveston port? Good or bad experience? Price? I was planning on using uber but that is no go. Price is a motivating factor. We were going to use galveston express, and still may do that, but we will have to hotel shuttle back to the airport which is OK but an inconvenience. Anyone used them from Galveston to Hobby? Especially early in the morning as we plan on self assisting off as early as possible. 2 adults. 2 bags. Thanks! I hope getme is the answer!

JaniceB Posted December 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm interested too? Anyone used this recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted December 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) I'm interested too? Anyone used this recently? They were vetted by City of Galveston and agreed to all terms of operation with City. Über did not agree and walked away . Uber cannot operate legally in Galveston .

JaniceB Posted December 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thank you, have you ever used them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted December 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Thank you, have you ever used them? We are lucky enough to Live in Galveston ! We do not have a need for their services. Our pet/house sitter takes us to terminal when cruising out of Galveston. We drive our car to airports when cruising out of other ports in US or internationally.

JaniceB Posted December 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Always nice to have someone drop you off at the port that you don't have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galveston Cruiser Posted January 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2017 couldnt you take a cab toff the island and then get uber to take you the rest of the ay, is uber restricted only on the island? Where? The cost of going somewhere to get another form of transportation would negate any savings. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kassimer1 Posted January 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Where? The cost of going somewhere to get another form of transportation would negate any savings. Sent from my iPhone using Forums we want to rent a car for 3 days but it is very expensive to pick up and drop off at enterprise.( it would be an additional 200$ just for the drop off at a different location) i was wondering if the Get Me people could pick me up on the main land at avis after we dropped the rental car off the morning of the cruise and take us to the port and then on the way back from the ship take us to the rental car place and we would drive to Houston- our flight does not leave until 8 at night. with the rental car we could store our luggage in it and sitesee since southwest does not let you drop off your luggage that early. unless you know of a luggage storage place in houston that would deliver our luggage at the time we need it to the airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggw Posted January 30, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Used Uber to get from Hobby Hotel to port -quick and easy. Tons of drivers available. Tried to use GetMe to go from ship to Hobby - no drivers available even though I pre-arranged with them to have a driver. You would think with two ships in port, they would have drivers. Took a taxi instead. Do not count on GetMe to get you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
