And for those that may not be aware , the price varies greatly on where you live (County ?)

For example , I just did a Uber search to the Orlando airport from my home near Sawgrass Grove and as you can see , my “fee” is more than 2X what you paid …..

For me, Uber is not the way to go…..setting the trip up ahead of time makes no difference in price.

PS- I did 3 other simulated rides from different parts of The Villages.

One of the rides I simulated was from the Villages Hospital and that was even higher !
