Tips For Getting Around Nashville, Tennessee
Once you’ve left your car safely at Flight Park, you can begin to enjoy all this incredible city has to offer. From the airport, a taxi is a flat $25 rate to downtown Nashville, otherwise meters start at $7 and the rate is $2.10 per mile. Ride-sharing services are also welcome at Nashville Airport, and generally average $16, but are subject to demand pricing and may fluctuate based on when you’re seeking the service. Flight Park is going to be the least expensive way to park your car at the Nashville, TN airport and pop out to see the city.
Many hotels provide free airport shuttle service to and from BNA International. But if your accommodations aren’t offering you a pick up, the best deal is the bus departing hourly. For $2 you can get from the Nashville airport to downtown. And for a grand total of $4 you can score a Nashville MTA day pass.
Riding the bus in Nashville is by far the most economic, and certainly environmentally friendly, way to get around; but it does require some advanced planning with bus schedules and routes. It’s also the least flexible.
A fun alternative to the Nashville MTA bus, and an attraction in its own right, is Music City Trolley Hop. With 16 stops all around the city at points of interest, you pay one fee and learn about Nashville as you travel. When your interest is piqued, hop off and explore as long as you like and hop the next trolley when you’re ready. This is great for anyone looking to take their time getting familiar with Nashville, as well as folks with a time budget on a long layover that want to see the sights outside of the airport.
If the weather is fine, why not ride a bike? Nashville has a bike sharing program called BCycle, that has stations all over the city for easy access. It’s a great way to explore the city as well as the scenic greenways. A day pass will cost you $5 and week pass will run you a whopping $10. The only caveat to this green and healthy option is the hourly check in. Bikes need to be checked into a BCycle station once an hour, lest you incur overage fees. The good news is that Nashville will lure you off of your bike long before you’ve put in an hours ride, and if you do get carried away cruising on your two wheeler, the overage fee is about $1.50 per half hour. (BCycle has suspended service due to COVID-19 as of the writing of this article, but is committed to returning to service as soon as possible.)
We hope this information is helpful! And of course, if you’re driving and planning to park and fly Nashville, visit us first at flightpark.net for a coupon on your service with us! We’re already a better deal than other airport parking options, but we have no intention of quitting while we’re ahead!
