Pick up the car at the airport, drop it off in Lake Sumter and Enterprise will give you a ride home. Or my husband drives the rental to LSL and I pick him up.

My husband drives the rental to Enterprise in LSL and I pick him up. If you have no one to pick you up, Enterprise will bring you to your house.

Excellent point. Totally agree. In a van with 9 people crammed together is not enjoyable. I have used them many times living in the southern part of The Villages. That certainly doesn’t mean it’s a comfortable ride.

If more than one person, look at a one-way car rental from Enterprise. Two people one-way is just about the same as The Villages shuttle. More passengers is even more economical.

Yes - per person

Appears to be a similar service to the Village Airport Van only $5 cheaper. Since they are new you might have a shorter drive time due to less number of passenger pickup/ dropoff stops. Or it might be longer while they build up a full passenger list per vehicle. I guess it depends on how often vans leave the base and how many vehicles they have on the road at once.

Keep us posted, please.

Hmmmm.....my understanding was that they are not a shared ride service. I'll let you know!

Where do you go in the airport to pick up car and does it take long to get car. Thanks in advance for a response.

Off the issue, but does anyone know a service to and from Port of Miami?

Yankee Travels runs a bus from Bealls on 441 and one other stop near Kohl’s leaving 0630 for $45 pp. only runs days with ship departures.

Will pick you up at your home - $45 each way.
Punctual - keeps track of your flight arrival etc

We have been using him for years - tell him D sent you

Actually Per Person + Tip $100.00 $- 105/110.00...

Less expensive to rent one way Enterprise/Hertz

Rental cars are right there at the airport, across from the baggage area. We reserve a car ahead of time, so it takes only a few minutes to pick it up.

We used them. Awesome service and great price. Went to Sanford for $40. We will use Pelican Bay Express again... Rae

I always do Enterprise for me and my wife.

Always use a private driver when two or more traveling together, economical and very easy. When only one person traveling, we use Villages Transportation bus out of LSL. We used to use the airport van, but never again. The van service is horrible for Villagers living in the northern section, probably not so bad if live in Fenney or near Brownwood.
