Hi all,
Flyin into HOU the on Saturday nite for the Sunday departure on Conquest. Any tips on shuttling?

Thinkin about Hotel-ing near the airport account late arrival & shuttling down on Sunday.

Also thinkin it might be cheaper to just rent a car on Sunday & drive it down assuming car rental returns near the port???

Any thoughts?

A car rental will be cheaper. Several agencies [I believe Avis and Enterprise are among them] will let you do a "one-way" to Galveston. From there, a free shuttle to the port.

THanks for the response. Here's the long & short of my findings:

Shuttle for 3 from Houston Hobby is $90 & up each way.

The 2 car rental angencies that exist in both Houston & Galveston are Hertz and Enterprise.

Enterprise is cheaper on the surface, but they pop you for a $60 drop fee in Galveston account the one-way. That almost equalizes the fees.

I ended up getting a car Saturday nite, in Houston. THat allows us freedom to stop at Walgreens for last minute "forgots", eat where we want, hotel, etc, and dropping it in Galv Sunday for $94.

The return trip is a bit better picking up Sunday am, returning Monday am before our flight for $74.

If anybody has found anything cheaper please lemme know.
