PS some people don't want to drive on the highway anymore and definitely don't want to leave their cars in an overnight parking lot although I've never had trouble in 20 plus years, I probably taken 2 or 300 trips

We have used Jerry's Car Service and it has been great! We are using them again in July and August.

I know you prefer to take the limo service, but the Villages Shuttle, for an extra five dollars per person, will take you from the bus stop to your home if you book in advance.

VAV is reliable, reasonably priced, with very nice drivers that help out with heavy suitcases. As someone else said, living north adds a lot of extra time to the trip. I was picked up at 8:15 for a 1:30 pm flight. Lots of pickups from further south.

The last few trips (a year ++ ago), we used Creative Concierge and all was fine, but concerned now.

We really like the home pickup/dropoff feature. Considering Villages Airport Van now. Before we book - anyone have recent experience and recommendation?

Thx in advance,

Tried a ride share company from the airport once, about $100. Struck up a conversation with the driver and got his number. Now I just call him a couple days in advance and we have personalized service. For two people, and home pick up/drop off, it's about the same as Workman. For three people, it's cheaper.

Default Airport Van

I just used Creative Conciege 4
Times for family members and had excellent service!
The person who complained rode with one of my family members and insisted the windows were down all the way to the airport!
Sometimes the whole story is not presented!!

We are planing a trip for a week later this month. We found that we can use covered longterm parking for less than the price of a service. We will be able to walk from our plane (which lands at 8:15 pm) and get in our car and be home sooner than waiting for a service. Just a thought if you don't mind the drive.

If you don't mind wasting about an hour and a half taking a tour of the Villages every time you use the service, I guess it is OK if you live in the northern sections.
I will vouch for this when we were living near Nancy Lopez near RT42, I was the first to be picked up and the last to be dropped off. For an 8 AM flight it was typical to be picked up at 2:30 to 3 AM, then it took an hour just to get to Brownwood, then to the turnpike. My best experience has been a private car to MCO then on the return Workmans Transportation back to be dropped off at LSL.

If you were a Member of the Unique Travel Club you would no longer have to drive to Orlando to catch a flight. Instead you could fly out of the Leesburg Airport just minutes away from The Villages.
