Other than the shuttles and buses, does anyone have a favorite door to door service to MCO? If so, can you recommend someone and provide me with their contact information? We'd prefer not to add an hour + to our trip with the multiple stops.
Thanking you in advance.

Enterprise is not doing one way due to car shortages.

We been using Dave's Airport Transportation for the past 4+ years. Always prompt, clean and sanitized vehicles, display their commercial insurance policy on their business page on the website "NextDoor Neighbor", too many non-commercially insured services out there, one car outfits. We tried Capri and Creative, but are quite pleased with Dave's, I think they have 17 vehicles now. Dave-352-223-4696

One way car rentals from Enterprise. You are in control. I used to do that. Have you checked rental prices these days? You could probably hire a helicopter from your driveway cheaper! :D I used to rent a full size car in Phila for $35 day plus 1 weekend day free through Costco Travel and last time we went (past July) it was $150 day AFTER discounts.

Relatively new to The Villages, but as much out of curiosity as anything else - is there any segment of TV population that uses Lyft or Uber…. Or is the issue technology use or the fact that perhaps not many Lyft or Uber drivers in immediate vicinity to be of convenience & assistance?
Respectfully, DB

Anytime I looked at Uber I couldn’t find any drivers available. I gave up.
Read the same on a few other sites. Also now drivers probably make more with short restaurant hops than long drives like this. But that is just a guess.

I have always found Uber to be much more expensive than the services and just checked and it is $170+ depending on the ride choice, Thursday 12/23 10:14am

Hi, just to let you know I've been using Safe & Secure Limo Service and they are on time, courteous, clean vehicles, and reasonably priced. You can contact Julie Hubert at 352-444-0758 and let her know I gave you their information. I'm sure you will be very happy with the service.

I was going to take a screenshot to save until I saw your follow up sentence. Now I don’t know if this is a serious comment on a real company or not. Real or a joke? Thanks (and it was funny)

Do you know if they have commercial insurance? I heard that they don't. But if they do, then I'll jot their number down for a backup service if Dave's is booked. We've seen Dave's commercial insurance on his business page on NextDoor Neighbor, so we know he's legal.

Like many others, I highly recommend Dave's Airport Transportation. Their drivers are great, cars are disinfected between customers, they are always early to pick up at your home, and unlike so many other transport services, they are licensed and insured, and willing to show that documentation to you.

on previous chats villagers near 44 rave about groome transportation because of price and fact that they do not take you on a tour of the
northern villages.

Groome Transportation works great .... when it works. The problem is that they only answer the phone during "regular business hours". So if you get stuck "after hours" you are on your own. My flight was 10 minutes late arriving so I missed my shuttle time. Not Groome's fault, but there I was stuck at the airport at 10:30pm. Had to pay an Uber $127 to get home.
To add insult to injury, the manager never bothered to return my calls.
Lesson: If you are traveling outside of their business hours, then take Workmen or some other shuttle service.

Second that. We've been using Joe for some time now and he's excellent: shows up at the appointed time (usually about 15 minutes early). He's an ex-law enforcement officer so he's an expert driver.
FYI Joe also offers a house-watching service for when people are gone from their homes for a period of time.

I've also used and have been happy with Creative Concierge. My last two trips coming in from Michigan have been delayed for 2 and 3 hours and they were able to pick me up at MCO with no waiting.

According to their website, the first pick up is between 3 am and 3:40 am.

Odd... I just tried to book an early pickup and the website wouldn't let me do it...
