This is such a subjective discussion!
For many years I have used what used to be called the "North Lot." It charged $10 per 24-hour period. Today, it has a new name, but, so far as I know, still charges the same amount!
My research before a trip always weighs The Villages Transportation round-trip charges against the "North lot's" charges for the same time frame.
This frequently boils down to a virtually even charge!
Therefore, other factors must enter your calculations!
Considerations are. as a minimum:
** additional charges for at-home pickup / at-home dropoff; The Villages Transportation usually charges $5 per person per trip.
** how much longer than a standard 24-hour period will you be asking for parking charges?
Granted, in my view, many of the foregoing calculations may end up with minimal charges against the ongoing flow.
My decisions very often depend upon which method is, in the end, most economical!
