Nashville Airport to Memphis Transfer

Nashville Airport to Memphis transfer: the easiest way to get there

When you land at Nashville Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Memphis. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Nashville Airport to Memphis transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Nashville Airport to Memphis 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 Memphis 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.

Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Nashville Airport to Memphis transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Nashville Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.

Searches for "BNA to Memphis" 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 Memphis.

Nashville Airport to Memphis at a glance

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.

Taxi or private transfer from Nashville Airport to Memphis?

An airport taxi from Nashville Airport to Memphis means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

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 Memphis per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Memphis 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 Memphis, 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 Memphis: 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 Memphis from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Memphis once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Nashville Airport to Memphis transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Memphis

Memphis is a major Tennessee city on the Mississippi River about 356 km west of Nashville Airport. Memphis is a river city on the Mississippi known as the birthplace of the blues and rock and roll. Beale Street is the centre of live music, and Sun Studio, the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music tell the story of its sound. Graceland, the famous home museum south of downtown, attracts visitors from around the world, and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel records a major chapter of American history. The riverfront has parks, the pyramid-shaped arena and the Mud Island river trail, and the city is known for dry-rub barbecue.

Things to do in Memphis

Once you have checked in, Memphis is worth exploring: Beale Street music, Graceland, Sun Studio, National Civil Rights Museum and Mississippi riverfront. 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 Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Auditorium and the Parthenon in Centennial Park - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Memphis

Where you stay in Memphis makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Downtown Memphis hotels, Beale Street area, Near Graceland and Midtown and Overton Square - and any other address is fine too.

Memphis is in the same Central time zone as Nashville; allow a comfort stop on the long drive and plan the drive for daylight in winter.

Meeting your driver at Nashville Airport

Where you meet your driver depends on Nashville Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.

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 Memphis 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 Memphis road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Memphis transfer

The Nashville Airport to Memphis 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 Memphis, an onward transfer or the return to Nashville Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.

How to book your Memphis transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Memphis. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

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.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Nashville Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Nashville Airport.

Memphis to Nashville Airport: the return transfer

Most guests book the return at the same time: a Memphis to Nashville Airport transfer from the hotel door, timed to your departure, with the same fixed-price approach. If your plans change during the trip, message the desk and the pickup time is adjusted.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Memphis based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Nashville Airport, that is arranged in the same message.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Memphis transfers

What guests tell us they value about the Nashville Airport to Memphis transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Memphis at any hour.

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.
