You step off the Galveston pier, salt and diesel in the air, luggage in tow, and a driver in a crisp uniform is waiting with a neutral smile and a clean van. The ride from Galveston’s shoreline to Houston’s Hobby Airport unfurls along the bay—sea spray shrinking to suburban boulevards—an efficient corridor that moves at the mercy of tides, ferries, and commute-hour bottlenecks.

Confirm guest and bag counts
This van fits up to 10 passengers with a specific luggage allowance — confirm the number and sizes of check-in and carry-on bags before you book.
Share flight and pickup details
Provide your flight number, cruise arrival time or hotel pickup point and a mobile number so the driver can coordinate real-time.
Build in traffic buffer
Allow at least 30 extra minutes during morning and evening commute windows; Houston-area congestion can double drive time.
Pack a refillable bottle
Water is provided, but a refillable bottle saves waste and keeps you hydrated during delays or tight transfers.
Valid photo ID & travel documents
Required for airport check-in and to verify the lead passenger at pickup.
Mobile phone with charger
Necessary for driver coordination, real-time updates, and digital confirmations.
Soft-sided luggage or duffel
Easier to stow in van cargo areas and fits the stated baggage capacity better than hard suitcases.
Light jacket
Evenings along the coast can be breezy; layers help when stepping between air-conditioned vehicles and coastal air.
