We used The Villages Shuttle 5 times round trip from Feb-April. We had a number of problems. True they are a new service, but their scheduling is not on time. I would suggest "The Village Airport Van". We will be switching back to using them in the future. We tried the new service due to their introductory rate but it wasn't worth the discount.

Villages Shuttle or Signature Coach? OP was asking about Signature Coach.

The Village Van shuttle started off that way that is only providing service to the Villages but because at times the vans were near empty they opened it up to outside the Villages. In March I got a free tour of central FL because we went to Leesburg and the passenger couldn't remember which trailer park she lived in. All this while 8 other Village passengers waited to get dropped off. The driver seemed to only care about her getting dropped off and to hell with the rest of us. I will never use them again. If it is a Village Van then that's what it should be.
I hope people post about this new Signature van company and let us know their experience. If it is the same price and goes only to the Villages they will be successful.

Yes I was commenting my experience on Signature Coach. I have their card. They use the name Village Shuttles by Signature Coach. Imagine they will improve with time but they had some challenges with timeliness the months we used them. Didnt miss a flight but we had quite a bit of a wait once at the Orlando airport for our trip to the villages and they arrived about 25 minutes late for our scheduled pickup. The other service has vans that leave every 20 minutes from Orlando so challenges with departures are minimized.

I used this service 2 weeks ago for a round trip to OIA. The service was excellent. Picked me up at home and arrived at exactly the time they stated. Both drivers were very helpful. The drop off and pick up were flawless. Would highly recommend them for a worry free trip to and from the airport.

Used them over Easter for a guest who had a 7:30 am flight out of Sanford, had to be picked up st 3am! Their response was that they also had to go to Orlando first. Will not use them again!

Thx for your input!

We've used the Signature Coach Village Shuttle service a few times, and have been very, very happy and satisfied each time. On time. Great drivers. Excellent rates. Very happy.

We used Signature Coach just yesterday. Our flight arrived 20 mins. early from New Orleans. He was right there. He was at the bottom of the escalator in baggage claim with our names on his card. Loaded our luggage right into a SUV. We were the only passengers. He even asked if we wanted any bottled water. The cost is $37.00 per person. When we were picked up for our outbound flight, he was right on time also. He told us they are a group out of Boston and have been operating in The Villages for about 4 months. We were extremely happy with the service. I highly recommend them.

I saw a taxi car the other day, it didn't say Village shuttle it just said shuttle by Signature coach. Are you sure they are part of TV?
I am getting so confused with all these companies. Which one is the original I so often hear about?

The Villages Transportation picks up and drops off at the station in Lake Sumter Landing. White buses with The Villages logo on the side. They also offer a taxi service that will pick you up/drop you off for your bus ride for an additional cost of $10. Formerly owned by The Villages, it is now owned by another company.

Villages Airport Van (white van with yellow stripe) and Shuttle by Signature Coach pick you up and drop you off at your door. These both serve other communities in the area. I am not sure if they have a service that just takes care of The Villages.

Signature Coach was running a special in March. If you booked during that month for any trip in 2016, you received a very favorable rate. I booked my June trip at the special rate. It is my first time using this company and I hope all goes well.

I used their service today. The driver was right on time, put my luggage in van, and off we went. She talked pleasantly throughout the trip. We were there in less than 1.5 hours. She also explained where I would be picked up on my return. Competition is a good thing. Will definitily recommend. Price now is $30 one way.
