This might or might not be feasible for those with children traveling with them.
The driver usually calls the night before to "firm up" what time they will be picking you up (the initial time is an estimate which is usually not too far off).
I can deal with the early pick ups or last drop offs, what does irritate me is when the van shows up at a house and no lights are on and the person/people are not ready to be picked up. Keep in mind that even the driver's estimate is just that. He could be early (if the people in front of you are actually ready when he gets there) or a little late if the prior pickups were not ready.
One driver even asked people if they needed a pit stop, and he pulled into one of the service areas on the turnpike for a couple.
Friendly people and I have never had an issue. For sake of full disclosure, usually the Villages service is also good and I have never had a negative customer service experience with them.
