Frequently Asked Questions

Normally, the service includes the historical boundaries of the City of Galveston. Upon request, the chauffeur can travel west as far as Surfside Beach, or as far east as Rollover Pass on Bolivar Peninsula. Traveling to Bolivar Peninsula means taking the TX-87 ferry across the Texas City channel.
The service will not cross the Galveston Causeway.

Cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled pick-up time will receive a full refund of their deposit. Cancellations made after the 24-hour mark will not receive a refunded deposit.
