Airport Shuttle
 

Can someone tell me the current cost of the airport shuttle? I did a search and the price was $30 but the post was quite dated.
Thank You :)

The cost was recently raised per the website:

Staying within The Villages $40.00 per person, each way
Renters $40.00 per person, each way
Renter's Guests $50.00 per person, each way
Non-Residents $50.00 per person, each way

I have started using the Florida Jitney . The bus leaves from Spanish Springs every 90 minutes for the airport and runs 24 hours a day if needed.They also do runs to the Orlando malls.
It is $34 each way and there are soft drinks and TV on the bus.

259-2731

We rented from Enterprise from Orlando International Airport with a drop-off in LSL for a cost of $23. In the other direction, for whatever inexplicable reason, the cost would have been $53 but for our having a ride there (thanks again, Kathie and Donna!). Have to add in the cost of gas which as I recall was around $8. For two of us, the car rental made more sense.

It bothers me that no taxi services are available for the very early or late shuttle buses, too.

Thanks Travel! Didn't realize they had raised the rates but understandable.

I agree Travel.....early and late taxi would be a welcome addition to TV lifestyle. For example....so you want to go out to a restaurant but you want to have a few drinks. You do not want to drive a car or a golf cart. You want to do the "right thing" What do you do? there is no public transportation available!! I really think this is a huge flaw in the operation of TV. Can we let management know that we would love to have a way to go out, and not have to drive! What do you all think about this?

Can you please tell me if this is a bus or limo service? My husband travels frequently and TV shuttle isn't convenient because of the departure and arrival times. It seldom conicides with his itinerary.

Is this a reliable service - I never heard of it? Where is the pick up? Drop off?

Thanks

Very reliable and transports to and from Spanish Springs Shuttle station.
It is a bus, a little smaller than The Villages shuttle, but very comfortable.

I saw an ad in the paper several months ago and tried it because of
the inconvenient times of the TV shuttle. Give them a call.

Wiw, that is invaluable information to us as Fireboy uses the Villages shuttle a lot when we're in TV. Can you also pick up the Florida Jitney at the airport to arrive in TV?

Re: Airport Shuttle
 

The Florida Jitney serves both Orlando and Sanford airports plus some malls. To learn more check into their website at http://www.floridajitney.com/.
It appears the Orlando service does not serve the Villages but stops at I75/484 and also I75/44 in Wildwood.
The Sanford run serves The Villages at Spanish Springs.

This website must have been set up before they expanded to service in The Villages to and from Orlando. It's a new company and evidently expanding rapidly. Suggest you call 259-2731.

Re: Airport Shuttle
 

I've called the Florida Jetney twice already and haven't received a response. Their website doesn't indicate they pick up and dtop off at TV for Orlando Airport.

Has anyone used them from TV to the Orlando airport with a return?

Re: Airport Shuttle
 

AREN'T there taxi companies from the nearby towns that one can call, if needed ????????
