How to get to IAH? Debating between supershuttle and Uberpool (Stafford: coupon, hotel)

[misterno]

What are your thoughts experiences?

Which one is cheaper by the way?

I live in Stafford well almost Sugarland

I did Supershuttle many years ago. Just build in a lot of time since there's no telling how many stops they'll make to pick up/drop off.

For pricing, you are better off getting a realtime quote from their website/app since the rates are probably not fixed.

And FYI, i was curious and just now checked to see what a regular Uber would cost to IAH from here in Katy, and it is showing $55. Not sure your budget, but it might be worth it for a direct ride.

Thanks

Supershuttle is cheaper, I checked and it says $41.30 without discount code or coupon code that I did not start searching

I just dont know how to price a Uberpool? Is there a way to do that?

EDIT: With coupon I got $37 for supershuttle

Supershuttle charged me $28 for shared cab for a distance of 30 miles and $41 for solo non stop ride.

They are few $ cheaper and also they are clean and provide decent service.

They now have an app also to book.

I haven't used Uberpool, but i used the Uber app on my phone to get the regular Uber quote. I looked again and don't see an option for Uberpool. But i then googled "uberpool estimate" and it brought me to the Uber page where, again, i put in my address and destination. However, Uberpool didn't show up there, either. I'm just guessing that it isn't offered in my area. But that's where i would start.

Out of curiosity, i checked supershuttle, and it quoted me $37. Just my 2 cents, but I'd gladly pay $55 vs $37 for the convenience. Interestingly enough, i see that Supershuttle also offers a $55 rate for a non-stop fare for up to 3 people. With the 10% coupon i saw, that makes for a compelling option.

Have you thought about driving to the airport? I got five days at Park 'N Fly for $19.99 at Costco. There are several other lots such as EcoPark and Parking Spot. It really wasn't that inconvenient to drive there and shuttle over to the terminal. I imagine during crowded travel times it would be horrible.

This is a very good advice thanks

I have a question though. Say I want to leave my car for 17 days, so how do I use this park an fly thing from Costco?

Just buy 3 of them 3x5=15 days and pay 2 days out of pocket?

I believe you could do that or just purchase four packs. They come in packs of five passes and are perforated so you can tear them off for the appropriate number of days, saving the unused ones for future travel.

If you wana save some $$, tip is to pick a super shuttle from a near by Hilton, Sheraton or any major hotel. The rates are bit cheaper if they come to a hotel as compared to your home. It won't be that handy if you have too much luggage.

I would take the sulershutte outbound since they automatically factor the time you need based on the itinerary information you provide. The downside is when you get back it may be 2 hours before they drop you off depending on how many people they have to drop off. That happened to me once and never again will I do shared ride to take me home.
