CaribbeanAl:

I have used a lot just north of the Beachway (SR528) which was inexpensive. But, I wasn't happy with their spasmodic shuttle service, so have recently bitten the bullet, so to speak, and used the Satellite Blue lot, accessible just after you leave the Beachline and enter airport grounds.

Yes, they charge $10 per day. Yes, they don't have any covered spaces. Yes, sometimes their shuttles are slow (on my last reurn, they stuffed too many people into the small bus; the rest of us waited nearly 20 minutes for a larger vehicle, which ended up being over-full, as well). But, it's convenient and IMHO worth it.

Note, though, that I don't necessarily use this lot or any other when my stay will cost me $10 or more than what a round-trip plus taxi would cost me on The Villages shuttle. That'd be close to $100. So, if I expect to be gone ten days I'll usually drive myself. Much longer and I'll probably use the shuttle!
