Reserve online. We showed up without a reservation on a Saturday and it was a mess.
Driving in from Dallas. Where do we park, and is it expensive?
Use the official Port of Galveston lots and reserve online in advance. That guarantees a spot on busy days and usually costs less than drive-up. Rates run about $20 to $35 a day in 2026 by lot type, plus fees and tax. Match the lot to your terminal. Our cruise parking guide has the details. If you are flying in instead, the $39 shuttle usually beats parking and fuel.
