Galveston Cruise Parking Discounts, Coupons, and Promo Codes (2024)

Looking for a discount on cruise parking in Galveston? What about a promo code to save a few extra bucks? You’re in luck.

Galveston is by far the best port in the country when it comes to inexpensive cruise parking options. Because of the port’s location on the backside of island, there are several lots in the immediate area. The high amount of competition keeps rates low compared to other ports. Parking for a 7-day cruise can run as little as $90 — or about $12.50 per day.

But that’s before you add in any coupons. We’ve found some lots that can offer big discounts — up to $20 off a one-week cruise in some places, plus many ways to qualify for 10% off the total bill.

Common Ways to Save Money on Galveston Cruise Parking

With a little effort, you can save decent chunk of change off parking. In general, you’ll find the following ways that lots around Galveston offer savings:

Park & Walk Discounts
Independent parking lots are charged by the port for access to drop off passengers. That means each shuttle to the port costs the parking lot money. If you’re willing to walk, some lots offer lower prices for your parking.

Discount/Promo Codes & Offers
Some parking lots have discounts for people like military and first responders. As well, others offer up promotional codes that can help you save $5-10 off the cost of parking.

Loyalty Programs
A few lots, including the port’s official parking, offer loyalty programs. For each dollar you spend, you earn a point. Then you can redeem 10 points for $1 off your parking. So if you earn 500 points, then that’s $50 off parking. (The port gives you 50 points just for signing up.) These programs are slower than instant discounts, but can save you a lot over time.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best ways for you to save money on Galveston cruise parking by covering the coupons and discounts available for each lot that offers something to passengers.
