We use Creative Concierge. Pick up and delivery to door, always on time and private travel. Highly recommend.

We don’t chose the Van!

AIRPORT SHUTTLE WARNING

There are facts you need to know when booking an airport shuttle. There are two major services that provide airport transportation in the area. Both will get you to the airport. The difference is how and when will you get to the airport. Workmans, the airport shuttle which operates exclusively within The Villages has a direct pick up of passengers from one of two depots (Brownwood and Sumter). This shuttle service takes you directly to the airport and has a designated docking station on the lower level of the airport upon its arrival. It does not pick you up from your front door and it does not drop you off at your designated airline, but it is operated professionally and timely without abrupt changes to your scheduled departing time when you book. The other shuttle service is known as Village Airport Van, very different from the one operated by The Villages. This shuttle service typically picks you up at your home and will deliver you back to your home upon your return trip when booked accordingly. While both serve a needed service for airport travelers, this particular shuttle service has quite a few inconvenient flaws with regards to their scheduling. There is the real and recurring issue of changing your pickup time at the last minute and perhaps, in my case changing it three times to my annoyance. Then there is the obvious annoyance of how many stops are made before finally departing for the airport. And, don’t let me forget about how many stops before departing for airport are made where individuals take up as much as five to ten minutes before they enter the Van. Now this service, in spite of its convenience for some, is not for all and people should know the facts and difference between the two. Just know that if you require or don’t mind not knowing exactly when you will arrive at the airport, then this service is definitely for you. But for those of us who want to be assured of a departure and arrival airport time should not choose this Van, and if you should decide it is for you, do not get yourself twisted in knots when you know how different the two services operate. Consider yourself forewarned.[/QUOTE]

Same here. Our ride from MCO was a real treat and the driver was very courteous and interesting to talk to.

No private car service compares to Dave's Airport Transportation, if you belong to NextDoor Neighbor website, just look at their reviews. They only have a business page on there as they said they didn't need a separate website after getting on NDN 4+ years ago. 352-223-4696. They service Villages south of 466 all the way south and Leesburg gated communities per Dave. They even post their commercial insurance versus others that don't even have any.

I’ve used a car service even when I lived in Orlando, and even if it was for a couple of days , live a little treat yourself to a solitary ride

It's been said before and I agree, drive yourself to a long term parking lot and everything is igreat. Sorry I kept this under a thousand words.

Well I guess this thread is as good as any to say goodbye to everyone on talk of the villages to fall I’m flying to Boston day after tomorrow ( car service) be back in the fall . I completely forget about this place when I’m gone and as usual it will take me a couple of days to close house up , hmmm let’s see where is the key to lock it , it hasn’t been locked since I moved in last month and that’s about all the preparation I’ve ever done in all the home’s I’ve had here , I do have someone walk through every couple of weeks , my favorite people on here are the ones that think you can be angry with a total stranger and those that feel bullied by a total stranger please give me a break

I agree. I get bounced back to their email everyday because I start to scroll and get a screwy screen. Sometimes my screen freezes. I reported my problems but never heard anything.

If you were a Member of the Unique Travel Club you would no longer have to go to Orlando to catch a flight. Instead you could fly out of the Leesburg Airport which is just a few minutes drive from The Villages and eliminate the need for transportation spending hours going to and from the Airport. All flights would be direct with no connecting flights to any destination in the USA with the exception of Hawaii. Any destination in the State of Florida would simply be a day trip. Example: Leesburg Airport to Everglades City, FL 1 Hour 15 Minutes. Everglades City is a 4.5 Hour drive from The Villages and the Airlines do not fly to Everglades City. UTC Members are able to fly direct from Leesburg Airport and utilize the over 19,000 Airports in America instead of the 500 or so the Airlines fly into which is one feature that makes UTC unique.

Totally agree. Will use Groom again!

Groom Transportatiin Airport Shuttle
 

It would be helpful to get comoany names and prices for the particular airport shuttles you are referring to. I close on a home in the Villages this week and am coming down alone by airplane at the end of the month. I was told That Groom picks up and drops off at your home in the Villages. I am hoping this is correct because I do not know how I will be able to walk with my luggage from Brownstone To Fenney. Please advise... the cost was $33 from the airport one way. I am not concerned about the multiple stops as I am not going to be pressed for time. Thank you.

Both the neighbor and I used Groom separate times and were disappointed with the service. Both times we were the only passenger and they did not adjust the pickup time to take us to the airport. We both got to the airport three hours prior to our departure, Groom knowing that we were the only passenger they should of called and to set a different pick up time. For now on either Workman or Private Service for me.

Both Groom and Workman have a set schedule for pickup and drop off. They cannot "adjust" their schedule for one passenger. If you wa my that type of service you need to hire a private car and driver. Of course you pay more for that. Remember when your dropped off at the airport they then pickup passengers going back to V.

Has anyone ever done uber or lyft? Wonder what that would cost?

to UTCFL., What airlines fly in and out oif Leesburg internati9nal airport. Tried google and cannot find information on that. I even called, but had to leave a voice message. Also, What is Unique travel club? How do you become a member? Thanks

Leesburg International is not a commercial airport, i.e., for us traveling folks.

There are 2 mentions of taxi service to MCO: Vinnie's and David,
Anyone have experience with either?

Who did you use?

Your 5 reasons are exactly why I will not use them. I was called 5 minutes after they were supposed to be at my house and said they would be half hour late. It was stressful as that half hour turned into 45 minutes then having to pick up more people, some who were not ready. One glitch in the traffic and I would not have been there on time.

going to MCO $150 + -. return to TV $75 + -
