Another vote for Dave's Airport Transportation 352 223-4696. It was convenient and very accommodating when my return flight was delayed until the next day by weather. I highly recommend them.

We use Workman’s towncar service. It’s door to door private car. They drive at any time you request.

Normally we would use Workman/Groome/Village Vans but their timings don't work well early morning so we would like to use a ride service (we don't want to rent a car). The one we have used in the past no longer operates, but we have seen the following recommended on TOTV recently:

Creative Concierge, DrivenbyScott, Capri Transportation, Safe & Secure Transportation, Victoria car service.

Any other recommendations before we start calling for quotes and availability?

Thank you

They are great and reasonably priced. I use them all the time.

Get the village to have community travel instead of so much free golf courses as amenity's That is a must for seniors

We always spend the night before at the airport. Part of their sleep, park, fly program. Depends on the place how many days of parking are included. Had an early fight once and cut it too close due to traffic issues. Main issue for staying near the airport the night before. No more getting up at 2 or 3 am.

I’m glad you pointed that out! “Arctic Fox”, the author of this post, stated that he doesn’t want to rent a car. And yet, people responded by saying it’s cheaper and more convenient to drive yourself. I know older people who don’t drive anymore for health reasons. And, as you mentioned, some aren’t comfortable driving at high speeds on highways anymore.

Really ??

I just pulled up Uber and the CHEAPEST ride from our place to the Orlando airport is $179.90

We’re in the village of Citrus Grove which is between Fenney and SR44….

Where did your $70 fee come from ?

If you have a car (perhaps not, as you mention renting), consider staying at a hotel near the airport which lets you leave your car for 7-14 days, at no charge. Use the hotel's shuttle to/from the airport. This is particularly convenient for early morning flights. In our experience, this costs little more, if any, than airport parking, the shuttles, or private cars. The big plus is you will get an extra 2 hours sleep. Pack a second bag for the clothes you'll wear on the flight and leave it with your dirty ones in the car. With a little thought, you can avoid opening the bags you have packed for your trip. Most every hotel across the highway from the airport offers this service.

Jerry Schwartz came highly recommended. He’s a bit expensive but he’s reliable, picks you up at your door and you ride alone. I use him and am very satisfied.

Thank you for all of your great suggestions

We do not have a car, but did find the "driving" suggestions interesting as we have rented a car here - and overnighting at an airport hotel would certainly be an option if the flight was just too early!
