Picking up friends, relatives, and others from the Nashville International Airport soon?

Beginning Friday, Dec. 1, the airport will introduce new short-term parking options with complimentary and reduced rates. Parking will be free for the first 30 minutes, and beyond that, range from $5 to $30.

Where to park:

  • Terminal Garage 1
  • Terminal Garage 2
  • Cell lot, 1415 Murfreesboro Pk. (always free)

Airport officials said the new parking options aim to “eliminate the habit of persistent circling of Terminal Drive,” which has led to roadway congestion. Pro tip: Travelers can sign up for BNA Alerts Onboard, a text-alert system sharing real-time traffic updates and alternative routes.
