Village Airport Van price increase
 
My husband just booked his return trip with them and said the price is now $40. I may switch back to the Villages Transportation Service out of Lake Sumter.

That's just what I was thinking.

That's exactly what I said to my husband.

Still a good deal.
 
The Airport van picks you up and drops you off at your house. They also make stops only in The Villages now. I've never had to wait for a van in Orlando...as soon as one drives away another pulls into their assigned slot.

They have something like 35 vans now.

We're happy with them and at $40 it is still a good deal.

The vans run on propane I don't know the price of propane compared to gasoline
I believe it hasn't dropped in comparison
$40 per person is a fair rate take out the cost of operation taxes, fuel ,tolls ,insurance, maintenance, wages and I'll bet profit margin is not all that great

Welcome back all. Prices for everything are going up. Also you cannot get a reservation for dinner.

The Villages Utilities increased water and sewer base rates 2.5% effective October 1st. Has nothing to do with gas prices or seasonal residents returning. So increase is based on what?

I agree. They pick up our visitors at Orlando Airport and drop them on our doorstep in The Bubble. It's a good service.

We had no problem getting a dinner reservation at a Country Club for Thanksgiving.

It still beats driving to and from the airport. Mom and Dad are using them today. Worth every penny!

The price of airport pricing goes up every year (based on what...cost of asphalt sealant going up?) so a $5 increase in a trip may help offset giving drivers and workers a slight increase to help offset Obamacare costs for the employees, regardless of who pays their insurance.
