The Tremont House Car & Limo Service

USA Luxury Limo Service provides chauffeured black car, SUV and van transportation for guests of The Tremont House (2300 Ship Mechanic Row, Galveston, TX 77550), a historic hotel in Galveston's Strand Historic District. The hotel is on Galveston Island, about 42 miles from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and farther from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). We are an independent chauffeured transportation company — not affiliated with or endorsed by the hotel — available 24/7 for airport transfers, corporate travel and special events.

Victorian commercial blocks near the port The Strand began in the late 1830s as Avenue B on Galveston's original plat. In the nineteenth century Galveston was the state's major port, and this street became its commercial center. The district is now a National Historic Landmark, and its blocks hold restaurants, galleries, shops and museums. Staying inside it changes what a car is for: much of what visitors come to see is close together, so the car's work is mostly the long legs to and from the mainland and the trips out to the rest of the island. Two seasonal celebrations take place in the district: Mardi Gras, and Dickens on the Strand, a festival of Victorian heritage in which participants roam the Strand in period dress. If your stay overlaps either one, mention it when you book. Ask the hotel which entrance suits a car pickup and pass that detail along, so we both know where to meet. Over the causeway: choosing an airport The usual drive from Houston to the island is I-45 south, then the Galveston Causeway. Your airport decides how that drive begins. William P. Hobby Airport is on the south side of Houston, so the route reaches I-45 sooner. George Bush Intercontinental is on the north side, and that trip starts with a longer run across the city before turning toward the coast. Our Hobby Airport car service page covers that airport. For an arrival, send the airline and flight number. We follow that flight, and with the long drive to the island still ahead, a meet and greet at baggage claim means one fewer place to look for your driver. For a departure, send the flight time and the airport, then think through what sits between your room and the gate: checkout, the causeway, the drive across Houston and the check-in guidance your airline gives. That is what should set the pickup time. If friends are arriving on other flights or staying at other addresses, each ride is its own reservation. Beyond the Strand The island has a second personality along Seawall Boulevard, where the Gulf-side beachfront runs. A beach dinner, a museum afternoon and a late return to the historic district can be arranged as one day with hourly service; list the places and the hours you have in mind when you book. Nearby we also serve Grand Galvez Resort on that stretch and Moody Gardens Hotel west of downtown, so give us the address you are starting from rather than just the part of the island. For a celebration at a historic hotel, our wedding transportation and event transportation pages explain how we approach them, and the Galveston service area page covers the island. Guests who begin the trip at a Houston hotel can find those addresses in the Houston hotel car service hub. Whichever airport you use, put the full Ship Mechanic Row address in the booking and say whether the return starts at the hotel or somewhere else along the Strand.
