I've used both. Villages Transportation was superior--the last time we used them we had four large suitcases each (we were moving here permanently from Panama) and the driver wouldn't let my wife or me lift a finger to load the luggage onto the van. Friendly driver, nice vehicle, and always on time.

I only used The Village Van once. They were OK, but I was annoyed that they were over an hour and a half late to pick us up. We had arrived on time from a very late flight (that is why we used them) and when we got downstairs they were not there. I called them and they said they were on the other side of the airport awaiting another incoming flight. They said they would be picking us up in 20 minutes. The other flight was delayed so they didn't pick us up for 90 minutes. The last thing I want to do when coming in from a late night flight is wait 90 minutes prior to the hour+ ride to TV. Aside from that, they were OK--driver was friendly, van was OK.
