The Airport Van, aka Yellow Cab, was the alternative if your plane arrived at Orlando late in the evening. One time we flew in from Seattle and a couple boarded the Airport Van pleading to be dropped off first in Stonecrest because they'd had a long flight from Chicago. They didn't get their wish, but that's what can happen on the Airport Van. If your flights allow, The Villages Van is more predictable.

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.
Lessons learned --- dont take night flights --arrange for your own limo hopefully they will pick you up on time -- hope "YOUR" future flights are all on time !!

You referenced my post and said "not good information".

Then Bexter posted to confirm that a taxi ride will cost $5.00

In future, before you correct members who have posted, I suggest that you get your facts straight and make sure your information is current and correct.
