KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in The Villages

  • The first thing on your itinerary after your flight arrives should be to select the most suitable car rentals in The Villages, which are convenient for moving around. Lake Griffin State Park is about 10 miles away by car from The Villages via US-441 S. Famous Orlando attractions like Disney World are less than an hour's drive from The Villages. Daytona Beach is about 75 miles by car from The Villages via US-92 E.
  • Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) and Orlando International Airport (MCO) are the main entry points for travelers to The Villages. SFB is about 45 miles away, while MCO is roughly 53 miles away. The rental car center at SFB is at the baggage claim area, with cars parked just outside the baggage claim. Rental companies at MCO are at Level 1 of Terminals A and B, with a short distance to the rental parking lot, so no shuttle is required. The main providers at SFB include Enterprise, Hertz, Alamo, and Dollar, while at MCO, the main The Villages car rental providers include Payless, Budget, SIXT, and Thrifty.
  • Bear in mind that many locals in The Villages own golf carts and use them to get around town instead of cars. Locals can drive these carts throughout The Villages, meaning you will encounter them everywhere. Parking is available at many commercial premises like restaurants. You’ll share roads with golf carts, pedestrians, and public transport, so drive conservatively to avoid putting the lives of other road users at risk. However, some streets have dedicated on-street golf cart lanes.
  • With most of the population being above 55 years, the number of commuters on The Villages' roads is very few. Traffic will be the least of your concerns when driving around The Villages. If you encounter traffic, it is likely a result of an accident. However, you can encounter traffic when you take the US 528 from MCO to The Villages with your rental during the afternoon rush hour in Orlando. This adds an extra 15min to your trip. The best way to avoid this traffic is by taking the Florida Turnpike route when driving your rental from MCO to the Villages.

Pros:

Pickup and drop off went smoothly. No problems.

Cons:

The van was not washed before rental. Windows and mirrors were so dirty, I had to spend 15 minutes cleaning them before I could start my journey.

Pros:

The car was excellent. Easy and comfortable driving

Cons:

The Hertz office in Lady Lake (The Villages) was a very bad experience. We had to wait for about 1 hr for the understaffed office to clean a car for a person in front of us and to clean our car. Knowing we were coming to pick up the car, it should have been ready! Further, the inside was nice and clean but the outside was very dirty. I paid for a carwash before I left FL. Also, the office was very soiled looking and tacky. The pick up experience was quite annoying.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I called the day before and put a reservation in online. I had a family emergency in Alabama and needed to get there as soon as possible. I called before setting the reservation to see if they excepted debit cards they stated yes. The next day I spent 30 dollars on a taxi to get there. When I arrived, I had to wait for 30 more minutes to be told that my credit score was not high enough to rent a car from them. One hundred sixty dollars later, I rented from another company. I will never recommend them to anyone else who has an emergency.

Pros:

We arrived 12min after the stated time on the reservation and the doors were locked!

Cons:

It would've been nice to know that the place closed at 12 and that even though the reservation said to pick up at 12, we should arrive by 11:30. Had to drive an extra hour and a half to get another rental that day and paid $150 more.

Cons:

The car smelled of smoke when we got it, which really stood out since we aren't smokers. Other than that, vehicle was very clean. We personally bought a Maguires odor bomb and set it off on the car and that got rid of the smoke smell. Overall very happy with the rental.

They could have cleaned the car before we picked it up. The inside and outside was dirty. I found Gatorade bottles in the back the van wasn't vacuumed. When we went to drop it off they made us vacuum it out because he said there was pet hair on the carpet (isn't that your job) he was very rude and was Persistent, that we had a pet in the van.

I selected a compact car. I got a pick up truck. Gas mileage was terrible. It cost me double for gas. Not a good deal. Drop off at airport was a mess. No one at drop off point, and no instructions as to where to leave the truck. I had to guess what to do, after spending entirely too much time before my flight in the rental parking lot. Not good.

I was charged 500 dollars for a 24 hour rental. I picked up the car in Leesburg Fla and drove to Ft Meyers airport. The car was returned in less than 8 hours and I was charged and extra 400 dollars to drop it off at a different location. I could not understand the representative because her English was terrible. Use a different rental company. My airfare roundtrip from NY was cheaper than the car!!!!!
