Recommend staying the night at MCO airport Hyatt. Stayed Dec 11 (Sun) evening, in terminal 5:30am and barely made an 8:20am flight Frontier). Bag drop off & TSA lines were epic! Another line to get a cup of coffee.

You have lots of choices in The Villages:

Private car will be door-to-door and run about $100+tip;

Groome is door-to-door and runs $33+tip (Groome runs a north/south during the holidays);

Villages Van is door-to-door and runs $40+tip (May have to stop and switch out vans);

Workman is operated out of Sumter Landing and Brownwood Hotel and runs $40+tip (You provide your own transportation to the p/u location and wait to board the vans/bus there. Drop off is the same)

All three can get you to your destination on time for your flight. Groome is our preferred means of travel. Always on time, they are on a schedule, and drivers are very nice.

Hotel With Free Parking
 

The private car is the best choice; however, you have to also pay for the return.

The next best is to drive yourself and stay at one of the airport hotels with free parking. Hampton Inn provides 7 nights parking at no cost with a one night stay and shuttles to/from the airport.

Either avoids a lot of hassles and you'll get to sleep longer.

Another vote for Groome.

Capri car service has been very reliable at any time needed.

Most hotels near the airport allow parking for 7 days if you stay there the night before.

travel to MCO early in the day
 

I was just picked up and driven to MCO this morning. Flight was at 6:55. Picked up at home at 3:29am by Groome I happened to be the only one in the van. Driver was very professional and cost was around $33.00. Booked online. Have used them many times. Judy

Groome Transportation

Airport shuttle
 

I've used Groome a couple of times. Door to door service, pick up was in wee hours of morning for an early flight, but trip a little longer than driving myself due to other pickups/dropoffs (less an issue if you live nearer the turnpike). Easy reservations system. Cheaper than a week of airport parking. Clean vehicles, good drivers. Will use again.

Village Airport Vans
 

$40 one way. Always reliable at all times.

Used Groome for the first time. We were the first to be picked up at our home, out of four pickups. It went quickly and not a problem at all. Driver was wonderful!

Airport transportation
 

We’ve used Capri for early airport runs as well as round trip. Very reliable. We’ve also stayed at the Marriott for early morning flights. I think they start their early morning shuttle at 4:30 am, but check with the hotel. Quick and easy!
