Yes, we love Workman. We do pick up and delivery at Lake Sumter Landing right near Cody's. There is a large parking lot across the street if you need to park your car during a short trip. We live at the north end of The Villages and the other door to door pickup service meant we had to tour The Villages from the south to the north before it got to our house. Going to Orlando airport, the reverse happened. This wasted a lot of time.

Not a NICE tour at 9:30pm....after waiting in the van before heading for home. Two hours to get home one time, exhausted from the previous flight from AZ.... Oh well, you get what you pay for that's for sure.

Anything with wheels that delivers anything from People to Pizza will have problems now and then.
I feel terrible for the people who get lumped up by a Service that doesn't add up to their expectations. $33 dollars to Orlando airport is an unbelievable price. Very good and their customers seem to love them. I owned a small piece of a big taxi service in N.J. it used cars and vans just like in Florida and in order to pay everyone, maintain the cars, keep the electricity on and pay the rent and almost forgot the dispatcher, they like to eat too. We also had insurance to pay and registrations and car washes daily. We would get $45 to Newark Airport which was 30 miles there and back $1.50 per mile. The service that has been going for $33 to Orlando is charging 45 cents per mile based on 72 miles which is what I clocked on my own vehicle this past week when I was dropping off my wife. Point being. How do they stay in business? I have a feeling I might know but don't want to disparage a company that at this moment seems to be providing the service at an unbelievable price. What a bargain. If anyone in my circle of friends and family down here needs a ride, that would be me. On-time every time. So Far. Thank you, Lord. |

You all have provided great alternative transportation options to MCO. But who, besides the Village Airport Van, goes to SFB (Sanford)?

I had a horrific experience with them. I will NEVER use them again. I came so close to missing my flight, pre-pandemic. The dispatcher called when I was picked up (I was the first person on the van) and gave him more people to pick up. . It was packed when we stopped at a hotel to pick up additional passengers that hadn’t even arrived at the hotel yet. We had close to a mutiny. Couldn’t blame the driver who was very nice but he had to follow orders or his job would have been in jeopardy. The van was so seriously overpacked with people that it was a dangerous situation. I cancelled my return trip and the people at the office couldn’t have cared less. Terrible company to deal with. my advice, find any other way to get to and from the airport

My friend WILL NEVER EVER CONSIDER USING YOUR COMPANY "GROOME"! Your manager should be ashamed how they treated him. He makes a future reservation but 20 min's later he called back to cancel when I told them I had to go to Orlando that day and could drop him and his wife off. He called you guys back and you stated "YOU'D ISSUE HIM A CREDIT FOR A FUTURE TRIP???". Come on, I could see if he waited days or weeks to cancel, but inside 20 min's? Then the manager gets rude and hangs up, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! It took a call to your corporate office to get a refund, shame on you! Are you telling new and existing clients about refunds, that you don't give them? I'd NEVER RECOMMEND YOU! This didn't happen last year, THIS HAPPENED LAST MONTH! I've also seen that you don't social distance, I was at the light at 44/Morse, THAT VAN WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE, WOW!

Many of my friends both here in the Villages and Leesburg use Dave's Airport Transportation, 352-223-4696. They can prove they are commercially insured/licensed versus some of these 1-2 car so-called services who are not even registered with the state to operate, yet alone have commercial insurance. They don't rideshare, they are a one pick, 1 drop off service. I've read their impeccable reviews on NextDoor Neighbor website, they also have a business page on there which lists their services and pricing.

Village Airport Van
The problems have been with Village Airport Van, not Workman's.

And here is their ad: "48 trips per day leaving OIA/MCO approximately every 30 minutes."
