What's your flight schedule and what village are you in.Maybe I can pick you up and drop you off. Would your postal station be convenient for you for pick up?

Never leave your address on the Vehicle Registration or Insurance card. Always black them out. Why invite someone to your house to steel the rest of your belongings after they steel your car to haul them away in?

It was $138 from Tierra Del Sol when I checked last month.

Uber rates change on the fly depending on time and demand. Once in Massachusetts a flight got moved from Worcester to Boston. I watched the Uber rate go from $75 to over $160 in a matter of 5 minutes while everyone was trying to book a ride.

That'll teach you not to fly out of Worcester Airport. That baloney with Worcester Airport has been going on for 40 years. They built and airport and no one came ... mostly because, "you can't get there from here".

I just booked a (small) car for DW and myself for our winter migration home. We fly out of Sanford. 24 hour rate, Enterprise, pick up at Sumter, one way drop off at Sanford, $86 (including all fees). Cheaper than a limo/Uber etc.

You can Uber to the airport, it's been $100-$150 for the past year or so, or you can Uber to Lake Sumter (my fare has been $10, but I am just a mile away) then pay the $40 for the Groome shuttle.

I rented a car out of Leesburg the day before and dropped it off at Orlando Airport in January. Was $60 all in. Couldn't beat the convenience.

Another question, can anyone recommend a reliable car service?
If you are going to fly out of Orlando and return there why not use "park and fly " they advertise very reasonable rates, I have not used any of those business, but it seems to be a better solution, it just a short drive to the airport area, any experience out there ?
