Getting Around
How to get to and from Nashville International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at BNA
Nashville International Airport is connected to Nashville and the wider United States transport network by multiple ground transport options.
WeGo Public Transit's Route 18 connects the airport to downtown Nashville and the wider WeGo network from the Ground Transportation Center — a budget option, though schedules are less frequent than a dedicated airport express service.
Metered taxis and licensed limos operate from the Ground Transportation Center; a ride downtown takes about 15–20 minutes and typically costs $25–35.
Uber and Lyft are heavily used at BNA, with a dedicated pickup area in the Ground Transportation Center — often the fastest and most cost-effective option for the short hop into downtown Nashville.
A large on-site rental facility serves all major national brands, a short walk from baggage claim — useful if you're planning day trips beyond Nashville itself.
BNA is only about 10 miles from downtown Nashville, one of the shorter airport-to-downtown distances among major US airports — even in traffic, rideshare or taxi rarely takes more than 20–25 minutes.
