Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Nashville Airport to Chattanooga airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Chattanooga is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Nashville Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Nashville Airport (BNA)
Nashville International Airport (BNA) is about 13 km east of Downtown Nashville, 15-20 minutes by road on Interstate 40, with one terminal and its concourses on the east side of the city.
A little knowledge of Nashville Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga drive begins.
Searches for "BNA to Chattanooga" or "BNA airport transfer" land here for a reason: BNA is the airport code for Nashville Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Chattanooga.
Nashville Airport to Chattanooga at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Nashville Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga?
The airport taxi fare from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Chattanooga involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Chattanooga, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Nashville Airport runs mainly into Nashville itself: a public bus runs between the airport and downtown but is infrequent and slow with luggage; there is no metro and no passenger train, so ride-hailing, taxis or a private car are the practical choices, and a private car is easiest for families, groups and trips to Franklin or beyond. Reaching Chattanooga from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
If you are weighing the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.
About Chattanooga
Chattanooga is a city on the Tennessee River in the south-east of the state, about 205 km south-east of Nashville Airport. Chattanooga sits in a bend of the Tennessee River below Lookout Mountain, close to the Georgia border. Its revitalised riverfront has the Tennessee Aquarium, a long riverwalk and the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge, one of the longest of its kind. Visitors ride the Incline Railway up Lookout Mountain for wide views over the valley and ridges on clear days, and Rock City Gardens and Ruby Falls are famous nearby attractions. The Hunter Museum of American Art and the Bluff View Art District add culture, and the city is a base for hiking, climbing and river sports.
Things to do in Chattanooga
Once you have checked in, Chattanooga is worth exploring: Tennessee Aquarium, Lookout Mountain and the Incline Railway, Walnut Street Bridge, Rock City Gardens and Ruby Falls. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.
Nashville itself is within reach for a day: the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Chattanooga
Where visitors stay in Chattanooga: Downtown riverfront hotels, Bluff View Art District, Lookout Mountain and North Shore. Our Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.
Chattanooga is in the Eastern time zone, one hour ahead of Nashville, so set your clock forward when planning arrival times.
Meeting your driver at Nashville Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Nashville Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Nashville Airport.
Our vehicles for the Chattanooga transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Nashville Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Chattanooga transfer
The Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Chattanooga, an onward transfer or the return to Nashville Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.
How to book your Chattanooga transfer
To book the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Chattanooga - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Nashville Airport
Give the driver your flight number and exact hotel name before you land. Downtown streets close for events, so allow extra time on weekend evenings. The airport is in the process of being renamed in honour of Dolly Parton, so look for Nashville or BNA on your booking and flight details.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Nashville Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
Chattanooga to Nashville Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Nashville Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Chattanooga; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
The Chattanooga to Nashville Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Chattanooga transfers
We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Chattanooga route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Nashville Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name.

Chattanooga is in the Eastern time zone, one hour ahead of Nashville, so set your clock forward when planning arrival times.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Chattanooga.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga?
A public bus runs between the airport and downtown but is infrequent and slow with luggage; there is no metro and no passenger train, so ride-hailing, taxis or a private car are the practical choices, and a private car is easiest for families, groups and trips to Franklin or beyond. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Nashville Airport is delayed?
It depends on the option you chose. With flight tracking, the driver is there when you actually land, for delays of up to 5 hours; beyond that, tell us straight away and we try to find a new time, without a guarantee. With a fixed pickup time, the slot is reserved for you and cannot be moved on the day, even if the flight is late.
Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. The Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.

You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers).

If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Private. The vehicle is yours alone from Nashville Airport to Chattanooga, with no other passengers and no extra stops unless you ask for one. That is what makes the fixed price possible.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes.

Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga transfer?

Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the Nashville Airport to Chattanooga route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
Can I book the return trip from Chattanooga to Nashville Airport as well?
