I'd suggest the Villages Transportation Shuttle. Pickups at the airport every hour and arrive in a large safe bus-like vehicle. Get assigned a Villages sales agent ahead of time. Talk to the person ahead with the info as to your arrival. The good agents meet their prospects at the shuttle. If the person won't, demand a different one.
Depending on the number of days you spend here , the free golf cart should do you fine. If you want to tour off the reservation for a day, rent a car in TV for a day. Probably cheaper in the long run. You should also hook up with an independent realtor, such as Executive Realty. That person should also offer to pick you up at the shuttle terminal. Just ask them. The good agents go out of their way in trying to make a sale.
A good realtor will probably give you a brief tour off the reservation too, if you ask.
Have a good visit.
