I'm new to The Villages. Can anyone advise me on the best way to get to the Orlando airport. I live in Wildwood. I'm not looking for the cheapest way, but a reliable way with a trusted service. The trip would be during normal working hours on a weekend.

Groome transportation runs hourly shuttles from the Villages to the airport. I've used them multiple times.

I have successfully relied on Groome, for years. I choose the consolidated pickup/drop off....Brownwood Hotel in my case...over the door to door service.

I've found them to be communicative and helpful when I've caused my own challenges....

We found renting a car one way going to the airport put us in charge of timing.
Returning from airport, and no schedule to meet, the bus was fine.

Not sure why people do not consider Uber/Lyft as it’s about the same cost as the other services. Did you consider parking your car there? You would have to do the math based on how long your gone to see if it works. There was a thread on parking options at MCO not long ago. I do the long term parking for both work and personal.

I am happy with them too.
PS
I use the pickup/dropoff at my home option.

We drive and park at the long term parking on Semoran across from Millers Ale House.

I am taking short 4 day trip next Thursday. So I'm considering just drive and park at the closest parking ( Short Term?) at MCO. Does it ever get full these days? I don't want to call and wait for a shuttle unless I must because no parking is available.

Cheers!

I park in the long term parking north lot all the time. I did hear around Christmas (from the van driver) it got full (duh). For the long term lot at MCO you do not call any shuttles as they run through every so often and I have never had to wait long for one. Make note of the parking lane marked on the pavement where you park as well as the bus stop you get on the bus at. The bus driver will give you a ticket with that information if not just ask for one. Good Luck

Park n fly hands down is the best service I’ve encountered.

I have heard that ST parking sometime fills up, but I have never had a problem. It is super convenient provided you don't mind the high cost.

We drive and park at Park Fast. Safe covered parking, they pick you up where you park then pick you up at the airport as soon as you arrive.

I have done them all in my 10 years here. Prefer to drive and use the Park & GO. Never a hiccup.
