Has anyone taken the Villages Shuttle from Orlando airport lately?
We are flying down for the first time after 20 years of driving and wondered if anyone can tell us just what they have encountered on the shuttle. Wondering how many people were in the vehicle and the usual safety concerns during this pandemic. Would it be better to rent a car for the one-way trip? Thanks in advance for your input

We used the Village Airport Van because they picked you up at the airport and took you to your front door. This was in August. We all had masks on and there was one to a seat except if you were with family.

Be ready for people talking on their cell phones. Usually from the time they get on the shuttle until they get off in Orlando. Or, people who sit in front and talk to the people in the back. Because they're so loud, it becomes annoying .

The Villages Transportation is now "Workman Transportation" and has not been operating for some time due to the coronavirus pandemic. They just opened back up, and this is the message on their website:
"Our Airport Shuttle will resume operations on Monday, September 28th with a limited schedule. Visit our website to see details, schedule & book online NOW." I recently used Village Airport Van for a shuttle to the airport, and generally they were OK about the safety of their passengers. There was one woman on the shuttle who didn't cover her mouth and nose in her mask, which concerned me. But they enforced social distancing by limiting seating. I would use them again. |

Before Covid I was using The Villages Transportation which is now Workman two or three time a month and they are great. If more than one person it is better value to Uber if you want home pickup. In an Uber right now and will be $82 plus tip.

Consider renting an Enterprise car at MCO. Did that once Thanksgiving 2018 for $59 (after coupons, discounts etc) + about $10 in gas and tolls for a mid-size car. You can be your own driver and not at the mercy of waiting for or counting on someone else. Enterprise has location at LSL. There is also a Hertz office in Spanish Springs but when I had checked they were almost triple the price. Haven't checked rates recently but when biusiness is slow you can likely get a good deal with some research. If you are a Costco member they have some good weekend deals but not sure if you can get a 1=way 1=day deal.

Last Uber I was in smelled like it came from India....I think the driver had a bowl of curry in the front seat and was burning incense to Krishna...I had my head halfway out the window the whole way home from the airport to keep from throwing up

I used Village Airport Van this past Saturday. They showed up at my house on time. There was one passenger per row and everyone was masked. I was pleased with the service. Cost was $40.
