Djford75 Posted January 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Has anybody used either of these for transport to/from airport to the ship? They have great FB reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted January 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm not saying this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if half the reviews are all their neighbors and relatives who are trying to help them and have never used the service.

sbc234 Posted January 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I used them back in August 2021 and have them scheduled again for March 2022. They were wonderful!!! On time, clean vehicles, great communication even when I switched the pick up time last minute. I would highly recommend them without any hesitation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ojii Posted January 1, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 1, 2023 As far as Saltwater Moms go. I'm the kind of person who wants to see operating/incorporation licenses, commercial insurance coverage. All the things a business needs to be in business. No corporate email, no website, no easy to find communication. This screams not paying for stuff you should be paying for, and you won't find out until you get t-boned on the way to or from wherever you're going. At that point, you better hope you have travel insurance because they may not. Car insurance is not the same as commercial insurance coverage. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong with documentation and not insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted January 4, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Saltwater Mom's are licensed to enter the Port of Galveston; Uber is not. As a business owner of 20+ years in the tourism business, i have yet to have someone ask for documentation of licenses, insurance, etc. We have used their services multiple times; excellent service, new vehicles and very professional. Cannot say the same with many taxis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cruiser Posted January 5, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We used Saltwater Moms back in September the day before our cruise to get from Hobby to Galveston. We had a great experience and certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them again. We would have used them to get back to the airport, but they were already booked, so we used Lyft instead. Saltwater Moms service was much better. The Lyft driver obviously didn't know the port very well. She drove right by us at the Lyft pickup area and had to go back out and come back around again for another 15 minute wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used Galveston Saltwater Moms 20 times so far. And have 20 more reservations. I trust them so much more than Uber, Lyft, or a taxi. And yes, they are insured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted January 18, 2023 #23 Share Posted January 18, 2023 We have family that may stay outside of Galveston to save money. Perhaps stay near Texas City. Does Galveston Saltwater moms pick up from there and bring to the port? Or is it better to have a Uber/Lyft pick up the morning of the cruise?

Yes, Galveston Saltwater Moms will pick you up from there. Just be sure to contact them ahead of time to get in a reservation. The other thing to mention is it is best to pay cash. They aren't set up for credit card payments (or at least they weren't) unless you want to send them payment thru a pay app. You can ask about payment when you make your reservation. Or you can Lyft to the port. There has been an issue sometimes with using Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
