I called Villages Transportation and they said they make 15 trips to and from Orlando Airport EVERY day. $35 per person. But you have to get to Sumtner Landing for the shuttle, which is $10 more by taxi.

Don Reid charges $66 from your door to Orlando Airport. He and his son each has a car.

You can rent a car for the day from Enterprise. They come to your house, you drive to Enterprise to sign the deal, you drive to Orlando Airport and drop off the car. Total cost, including dropoff charge: $66.95. There's a $200 deposit, but it's refunded when you drop the car off at the airport. Sounds pretty good to me for those who can drive from The Villages to Orlando Airport. Hope this helps everyone. Or someone. We'll be needing transportation in December when we fly back to Ohio, so I've been doing a lot of investigating. After 43 years on newspapers, this really gets my blood circulating!

Guess I'll take The Villages van!

I assume by "Ouch!" that you are traveling alone, in which case one of the van/bus services will be half the price of a private car service

Village Airport Van - Airport Shuttle/Transportation for The Villages

I used this in October. Great service Cheaper than the "other" if you need door to door.

I just recently used The Village Airport Van very convenient no hassle right to your door service. You're in company of other traveling villagers. Highly recommend!

The Village Airport Van is fine IF you have no one to pick you up at Lake Sumter Landing. Chances you will be on the van for quite a bit longer than The Villages Shuttle (i hour or more longer) due to dropoffs of other passengers.

We have used The Village Airport Van (see link in previous posting) several times also, as they go to both airports. No problems, friendly, knowledgeable drivers. Door to door service. Will use them again.

I have used these guys many times over the past few months and they are always on time and great to work with. Call George Fronick at 352-245-2563 or email him at elitetlc@aol.com.

Too bad renting a car is not an option. I have been watching MCO rentals and have seen some as low as $8/day lately.

We usually use the "Villages Airport Van", but we were very disappointed on our last ride home from the airport. The van was waiting for us and for 8 other customers. We were packed in like sardines. Took 1 1/2 hours to leave the airport, and another 1 1/2 to get home. We had 2 stops prior to getting to the Villages. One stop was in Plantation off of Hwy 27 (way out of the way). I'm so glad we were the 2nd drop off in the Villages. Felt sorry for the folks that had to travel to the northern end of the villages.

We are going to use vin us this time will give a update

Jim9368 02-01-2016 09:04 PM

I have rented an Enterprise car one way for about 65.00 Can pick up or drop off at Lake Sumter Landing office.
