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.
totally agree with above post. I supposed if you live in the southern most sections of the Villages then the airport van is OK, but if you live in the northern sections be prepared to be one of the first pick-ups going to the airport and one of the last drop offs coming home. We live north of 466 and will never use them again.
