There is a big difference between the Villages Transportation and the Village Airport Van. The Villages Transportation runs on a schedule, with pickup and drop off at both Sumter Landing and Brownwood. They arrange for taxi service (at extra cost) if you need it, so it becomes door-to-door. It's not the cheapest option. The last time I used the Village Airport Van, the trip to the airport was just fine, but on the return trip I was the ninth of ten passengers to be dropped off at my home. It took one hour and ten minutes to travel from the airport to the southern entrance to The Villages, then about ninety minutes later I was dropped off at my house. It seemed to take forever. I checked with them about ten months ago to see if they still operated that way, and they said yes. For that reason I don't use them. If you decide to use them, I suggest you talk to their office first to see how they are handling drop off.
