BeetRed Posted October 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hello Everyone! This is the first time I'm sailing from Galveston and was planning to use a stay, park and cruise hotel to leave my car while on the cruise. But I've heard that there is a lot of vandalism and it isn't safe to leave cars in "unattended" lots. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted October 31, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2021 While I have no personal experience in this, I can't imagine that a parking lot would stay in business long if their customers' vehicles were constantly vandalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are staying in a hotel motel over night you may have same exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use PortParking ( PortParking.com ) primarily because they have indoor parking, and the building is closed which alleviates my Hail and criminal activities concerns, and I take my keys with me. The building appears somewhat elevated which may inhibit flooding. I have much less concern for my car while cruising, and they have shuttle service.

MrMan Posted November 24, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I live in Galveston in the Strand a block from the cruise port. I park my car on the street and never had issues. I would not worry about “criminal activity” in a hotel lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted November 24, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) This thread is such a broad sweep statement about activities. Yes it can happen, but it happens everywhere anytime any place . Not just on this island . If you are that concerned , determine a paid lot that has security and high elevation to avoid flooding.
