Time-wise, for groome and vav, it depends on how many others are traveling with you and where in tv you live - if down south you should spend the least time, being one of the last to be picked up (if going to mco) and one of the first to be dropped off (if coming from mco). We live up north so it can add half an hour to the ride, but we quite enjoy seeing the new areas anyway and, since we've probably spent the whole day traveling, and extra 30 minutes isn't going to kill us.

The main deciding factor is often their schedules - currently groome is operating less trips than pre-covid and that can add an hour's wait time.
groome is affordable, efficient and on time. Idk why people book flights using orlando airport when flying out of tampa avoids thousands of family tourists the orlando lines actually have a sign that at some point in it they tell you that you are not making the flight

Much more info needed in order for your complaint to be taken seriously...

Been using Workman (formerly The Villages Transportation)!
For 20 years. Never a problem.

I want to thank everyone for their feedback of Workman and Groom transportation. Since l need to be at the airport at 5:30 am, l think l will go with Workman first, then on the return trip home ; might try Groome

Default I agree

This has been our experience too. We live near the VA clinic on 42. On one VAV trip from MCO it took ~2.5 hours to get home. We were last to be dropped off, after a Water Oaks passenger.

In case someone has company staying at the Brownwood Hotel and Spa, Workman will pick them up at the airport. Workman will take them back to the airport when they're ready to go home. This is free if you are staying at the hotel. This is something that the hotel set up. You only need to stay one night.

Used Groome Transportation yesterday and the driver was professional, arrived early (told me not to rush but I was ready) and got me to the airport with time to spare!

Workmans doesn't use vans, which is a plus.
