There is a good possibility another cab service might want to enter the villages.
The original villages shuttle in my opinion is the best,the other shuttle service called villages airport shuttle has nothing to do with the villages,although it will pick you up and drop you off at your home,it will make many stops before arriving at a paticular destination,but you might be on it an extra hour or so
Part of the confusion is in the names of the different transportation companies. Both are great services.

One is called Villages Transportation and runs out of the Shuttle Station at Lake Sumter Landing. I believe it on an hourly schedule and runs about 19 hours a day. It is your responsibility to get to/from the Shuttle Station.

The other is called the Village Airport Van. It runs 24 hours a day, not on a set schedule, and picks up and delivers to your door. It may be picking up or dropping off other passengers in surrounding communities.

We prefer Village Airport Van for the door to door delivery. Others prefer the Villages Transportation because of the set schedule. For those who don't want to drive to Orlando Airport, I personally think that we're very lucky to have a choice of two transportation companies.
