Taxi to McDonald's or Denny's early in morning
 

We will be using Cruise Connection bus to go to Miami for our cruise in January. Since we can't leave our car at either place that long we would need a taxi, but we have to make sure the taxi will be reliable enough to get us there by 6:00 a.m. Anyone with experience doing that have a suggestion as to which taxi service was most reliable for you when you did that? And any that were a bad experience for you by not showing up in time? Thank you.

u can pre-arrange an uber

What Village are you in? If you live close to me, I’ll take you.

We have taken Yankee Trails Florida Express to cruise ports several times and loved the service. We boarded their new shuttle at Bealls on 441/27 (near Lowes). They made ONE
stop in Leesburg and proceeded directly to the port (Ft. Lauderdale). We also used them for our return to TV.
We used Villages Taxi at 4am in October without any problem but at that time we were going to MCO airport using Villages Transportation Shuttle.

we are also needing a ride to McDonalds on January 29. Did you get satisfactory answers from anyone? 810-241-9701

I can't figure out how to pre arrange pickup with Uber. How do I do that. 810-241-9701 Thanks. john

I don't think scheduled Uber rides are available in The Villages.

This video shows the icon you should see in the Uber app if scheduled rides are available.

i have the uber app. all i get is "no drivers available"

We use the Villages Airport Van 352-241-2000. Will pick you up at your house and again when your bus returns. The last trip we made was December to the bus in Leesburg and they charged $6.00 per person.

Don't you have any friends? I give an extra key to a friend ahead of time. Then I just drive our vehicle over for boarding the bus and leave it locked in the parking lot. Later that morning or early afternoon, my friend will come over and drive my vehicle back to my place. When it's time to return, my friend drives my vehicle back and leaves it locked in the parking lot sometime before the bus returns and we just hop in and drive away!

We do the same thing. Leave the car locked at Bealls or wherever and a friend picks it up and leaves it in our garage. Then same thing to come home. Surely, you must have someone you could ask for help.

A-1 Taxi was a bust
 

After trying unsuccessfully to reach A-1 Taxi for TWO HOURS on Saturday during business hours, we made a reservation with KJ Taxi. We'll let you know how it worked out after we get back from our cruise.

Thanks, John, for trying to help us. Hope your taxi shows up, too. Pretty early in the morning to be left high and dry trying to get to the bus at the McDonald's stop.

See you on the bus. Cuba, here we come!

KJ Taxi phone is (352) 753-5000 in case anyone is interested in trying it. We all help each other with our experiences. Another reason that I LOVE The Villages!
