Reliable Galveston Shuttle Schedule – Rides Every Hour
At Royal Galveston Shuttle, we provide a flexible Galveston shuttle schedule every hour between Houston (IAH & Hobby Airports) and Galveston. Our shuttle operates with a stop at Hobby Airport one hour after departing IAH, then continues to the Galveston cruise terminals and nearby hotels, Airbnb’s, Vrbo’s, or vacation rentals.
🕒 Shared Shuttle Schedule – Departures
Our Galveston shared shuttle operates every hour, ensuring regular and convenient transfers. This is a shared shuttle with stops, so slight delays can happen due to factors out of our control, so we recommend allowing extra time in your plans. If you’re on a tight schedule, our private shuttle is the better option.
Passengers are requested to wait at our meeting points (see maps below). Your driver will contact you at your boarding time to coordinate the pickup. Always follow driver’s instructions for any updated pickup points. Call us for any issues.
