Uber for Galveston <—> Houston Hobby Airport

[JinCinci]

We’re on a DC next week out of Galveston and flying into Hobby airport was cheaper and more convenient.
Do folks know if we can rely on getting an Uber from the airport to a Galveston hotel- we’re staying a night in advance.
Likewise, will it be insane to try to catch an Uber from the port to a Houston hotel on debarkation day?
Thanks!

Houstonian here. Uber shouldn't be an issue from Hobby. Your best bet (from what drivers tell me) is to schedule the ride in advance.

We took the Galveston Express from hobby to the dock. I believe they also drop off at nearby hotels. Cost was $30 one way, a little cheaper for seniors and kids.

We just got off the Wonder and there were ‘no cars available’ in any category according to Uber. We were one of the last few families to leave the ship so maybe they were all taken earlier in the morning. There is a taxi line right where you exit and there were three mini van taxis waiting so it wasn’t an issue. We had prearranged transportation when we landed so I don’t have any experience with Uber on the front end.
