Default Transportation from Orlando

Other than The Villages Van, can anyone recommend a service that picks you up at the Orlando airport?

Be very careful who you choose..I just had a bad experience with a car service. He was to pick up my daughter, son-in-law and my two grandsons, ages 5 &6 and drive them to Orlando to catch therir international flight home...He called us one hour before pick-up to inform us that he was stuck at the airport and could not pick them up. HE HAD NO BACK-UP PLAN. He then said maybe they would be able to get on the next Village Shuttle that was leaving in 45 minutes. After a frantic phone call I was able to get them on the Shuttle. I understand now that this car service owner only rents in the Villages and no one seems to have an address for him. I know I can depend on the Shuttle and will do so iin the future.

We have used village airport van door to door several times since we moved here in the fall. They have been dependable always picked us up at the time they said. They are not the shuttle that drops you off in the center
