Back to BNA Airport Parking Coupons & Discounts | Complete BNA Airport Parking Guide

BNA airport parking is the range of on-site and off-site options at Nashville International Airport, with daily rates from about $5/day at an off-site lot with no shuttle (about $10/day with a shuttle) to $48/day for on-airport valet. The best BNA airport parking choice depends on your budget, trip length, and how close you want to be to the terminal. The shuttle lots in the table below cost about 68% to 71% less per day than the $36 Terminal Garages, while on-airport Economy Lots split the difference at $24/day with a complimentary shuttle every 10 minutes. Off-site rates in this guide are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date.

• Cheapest off-site lot: Southwestern Airport Parking at about $5/day, but it has no shuttle (Uber or Lyft both ways). Cheapest with a shuttle: GLō Best Western Nashville Airport and Holiday Inn Express Nashville Airport at about $10/day
• Best for very early or late flights: Fly Away Airport Parking Nashville (about $11/day, valet, complimentary shuttle 24/7 every 10 minutes, 4-day minimum) and Holiday Inn Express (shuttle 24 hours a day on demand, call 24 hours ahead)
• On-site economy rate: Economy Lots B and C at $24/day, with a complimentary shuttle every 10 minutes
• Terminal Garage rate: $36/day max. The first 30 minutes are free, then $18 for 30 to 60 minutes
• Valet parking: $48/day at the ground floor of Terminal Garage 1
• Construction note: Donelson Pike is being realigned in 2026, so allow extra drive time when approaching the airport

What Are the Best BNA Airport Parking Options in 2026?

The best BNA airport parking options fall into four main categories: off-site lots, on-airport economy lots, terminal garages, and valet. Every off-site lot Triply sells costs less per day than the on-airport options, so they deliver the strongest savings on longer trips. On-airport options are faster to reach but cost significantly more per day.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the off-site lots Triply sells near BNA and the on-airport options (on-airport rates checked on the official BNA parking page in October 2026):

For a deeper look at off-site lots and how they work, see our guide to off-airport parking at BNA, which covers lots near Nashville International Airport.

How Much Does Parking at Nashville Airport Cost? (On-Site vs. Off-Site Rates)

According to published rates from the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA), on-airport Terminal Garages cost $36/day, Economy Lots B and C cost $24/day, and Valet costs $48/day. Off-site lots on Triply range from about $5 to $12/day (about $10 to $12/day with a shuttle), a savings of up to about $31 per day compared to the garages (about $26 per day with a shuttle).

On a five-day trip, that difference adds up fast:

• Terminal Garage: 5 days × $36 = $180 total (daily maximum)
• GLō Best Western or Holiday Inn Express: 5 days × about $10.45 = about $52 total before tax
• Economy Lot B or C: 5 days × $24 = $120 total
• Valet: 5 days × $48 = $240 total

The Terminal Garages are free for the first 30 minutes, charge $18 for 30 to 60 minutes, and cost $36 after an hour (the daily maximum). That makes them a smart pick for quick drop-offs or pickups. For longer stays, off-site lots or Economy Lots B and C deliver much better value. For a full breakdown of every rate tier, visit our BNA parking cost guide.

Which BNA Parking Lots Offer Free Shuttle Service to the Terminal?

Most off-site lots Triply sells near BNA include a shuttle (Southwestern Airport Parking is the exception), but shuttle hours, frequency and booking rules vary significantly. This matters most for early morning or late-night flights.

Here is what travelers should know about each shuttle, based on verified 2026 data:

• Fly Away Airport Parking Nashville: complimentary shuttle 24/7, every 10 minutes (valet lot, you leave your keys), a strong pick for red-eye or predawn departures
• Holiday Inn Express Nashville Airport: shuttle 24 hours a day on demand, but call 615-883-1366 to schedule it 24 hours before your booking starts; for the return, call 615-710-7209
• GLō Best Western Nashville Airport: complimentary shuttle hourly at 10 past the hour, 4:10 AM to 12:10 AM, with none from 12:10 AM to 4:10 AM; call 615-265-0406 at least 12 hours ahead for both rides
• Cambria Hotel Nashville Airport: complimentary shuttle on demand 4 AM to midnight, with none from midnight to 4 AM; call 615-645-1945 for your return pickup
• Comfort Suites Nashville Airport: shuttle every 20 minutes from 4:20 AM to midnight (last departure 11:45 PM); book at least 1 hour ahead on 615-391-3919, and note it is not wheelchair accessible
• Marriott Nashville Airport: shuttle every 15 minutes, 4 AM to midnight, with none from midnight to 4 AM
• Southwestern Airport Parking: no shuttle, so plan on Uber or Lyft both ways
• Economy Lots B and C (on-airport): complimentary airport shuttle every 10 minutes, as frequent as Fly Away's

Bottom line: If your flight departs before 4 AM or lands after midnight, book Fly Away or Holiday Inn Express (call a day ahead for its shuttle). The Cambria, GLō Best Western, Comfort Suites and Marriott shuttles all stop overnight, and that gap catches many travelers off guard.

On-Site BNA Parking: Terminal Garages, Economy Lots, and Short-Term Options Explained

Nashville International Airport offers roughly 12,000 parking spaces across its on-airport facilities, per official MNAA data. That sounds like a lot — but the airport serves millions of passengers annually, and spaces fill up fast during peak travel periods.

Here is how each on-airport option works:

Terminal Garage 1

Terminal Garage 1 serves Concourses A and B, home to Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. It costs $36/day max, with the first 30 minutes free. Accessible parking spaces are on every level, positioned closest to elevators. Parking at BNA has been cashless since 1 July 2026, with cash-to-card machines in the terminal.

Terminal Garage 2

Terminal Garage 2 connects to Concourses C, D, and the T Gates, plus the Ground Transportation Center. Same rate structure as Garage 1: $36/day max, with the first 30 minutes free and $18 for 30 to 60 minutes. If you're flying Southwest (Concourse D), American, or JetBlue (Concourse C), this is your garage.

Economy Lots B and C

Economy Lots B and C are the best on-airport value at $24/day, with the first 10 minutes free. A complimentary airport shuttle runs every 10 minutes. The tradeoff is a short shuttle ride instead of a walkway, typically just a few minutes. For longer trips, the $12/day savings over the garages adds up quickly.

Valet Parking

Valet is available at the ground floor of Terminal Garage 1 at $48/day, 24/7 (from I-40 it is reachable only via Exit 216B). You hand your keys to an attendant, and your car is parked for you. On return, the airport lists an automated retrieval line at 615-275-5381. This is the fastest option and eliminates any walking or shuttle time. For a full breakdown, see our BNA airport valet parking guide.

Cell Phone Lots

BNA has a free Cell Lot at 1415 Murfreesboro Pike, with fencing, a security guard and flight monitors. It is for meeting arriving passengers: park here and wait for a text, then pull around to arrivals. Never pay for short-term parking just to wait for a flight to land.

2026 construction note: Concourse A is closed through July 2028 for a full reconstruction. Airlines previously in Concourse A have relocated. Terminal Lot A has also been closed since 1 July 2026 for construction of a new rental car facility and parking garage. Donelson Pike, the primary airport access road, is also being realigned. Allow extra drive time, and check real-time traffic on Waze before heading to the airport.

How Far Are Off-Site BNA Parking Lots from the Terminal?

The off-site lots Triply sells near Nashville International Airport are listed 1.3 to 2.5 miles from the terminal. Here is the breakdown by lot, based on current listings:

• Cambria Hotel Nashville Airport: 1.3 mi
• Holiday Inn Express Nashville Airport: 1.4 mi
• GLō Best Western Nashville Airport: 1.6 mi
• Comfort Suites Nashville Airport: 1.7 mi
• Fly Away Airport Parking Nashville: 1.7 mi
• Marriott Nashville Airport: 2 mi
• Southwestern Airport Parking: 2.5 mi (about a 5-minute drive, no shuttle)

Nashville International Airport sits 8 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, off Donelson Pike near Briley Parkway (SR-155). Every off-site lot Triply sells is listed within 2.5 miles of the airport. The drive from downtown takes 15-25 minutes depending on traffic on I-40 or I-65.

How Can You Save Money on BNA Airport Parking?

The single best way to save on BNA parking is to book an off-site lot in advance online. Pre-booking holds your space at the rate you booked, and Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Here are the most effective savings strategies for 2026:

1. Book early: Off-site lots near BNA fill up during Nashville events like CMA Fest, NFL games, and major holidays. Booking 1-2 weeks ahead helps you find a space.
2. Use a comparison tool: Triply shows the off-site lots it sells near BNA in one search, so you see availability and pricing side by side.
3. Choose free cancellation: Every Triply booking has free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so book early in case your travel plans change.
4. Pick the right lot for your shuttle needs: The cheapest lot isn't always the best fit. If you have a 4 AM flight, choose Fly Away's 24/7 shuttle (every 10 minutes) or Holiday Inn Express's 24-hour shuttle (call a day ahead) rather than a lot whose shuttle stops overnight.
5. Skip valet for multi-day trips: A week of on-airport valet at $48/day costs $336, versus about $73 at GLō Best Western or Holiday Inn Express. Save valet for one-night stays when the convenience is worth it.
6. Check for promo codes before checkout: Booking platforms sometimes offer first-time or seasonal discount codes. Our BNA airport parking deals page tracks current offers.

For travelers with TSA PreCheck, budget extra minutes for the shuttle but less time at security — which shifts the math slightly in favor of off-site lots for early flights.

Is Off-Airport Parking at BNA Safe and Secure?

Off-airport parking at BNA is generally safe and reliable, and each lot lists its own security setup. Here is what each lot offers:

• Fly Away Airport Parking Nashville: fully fenced and gated, with valet staff handling your car
• Marriott Nashville Airport: gated, fully fenced lot with a Park & Fly section at the back
• GLō Best Western Nashville Airport: hotel property with staff on site 24 hours a day
• Holiday Inn Express Nashville Airport: hotel property with a 24/7 front desk
• Cambria Hotel Nashville Airport: hotel property with a 24/7 front desk
• Comfort Suites Nashville Airport: security listed as an amenity, with a 24/7 front desk
• Southwestern Airport Parking: open-air and well-lit, with security personnel on site 7 AM to 11 PM only

Hotel-based lots have a front desk staffed around the clock, which adds oversight on the property. If a fenced perimeter matters most to you, Fly Away and the Marriott Nashville Airport both list fenced, gated lots. Southwestern Airport Parking has security staff on site only from 7 AM to 11 PM.

For accessible parking specifically, both Terminal Garages have ADA spaces on every level, positioned nearest to elevators and terminal access points. Holiday Inn Express lists eight wheelchair-accessible spaces, including van-accessible ones. Note that the Comfort Suites shuttle is not wheelchair accessible.

Which BNA Parking Option Is Best for Long-Term Trips?

For trips of five days or longer, off-site lots deliver the best value by a wide margin. GLō Best Western Nashville Airport at about $10/day costs about $52 over five days versus $180 in the Terminal Garage, a saving of about $128. That is money better spent on your trip.

For long-term parking specifically, the key factors are shuttle reliability and security, not just price. For a week, Holiday Inn Express and GLō Best Western run about $73 before tax and the Marriott about $81, against $168 in Economy and $252 in the garages. Real 7-night checkouts (8 billed days, including any tax) run about $84 to $101 at the best-fit shuttle lots, still well under a week in Economy. Fly Away and Holiday Inn Express suit early and late flights. Our BNA long-term parking rates guide covers longer trips in more detail.

On-airport Economy Lots B and C are the best long-term option if you want to stay on the airport property. At $24/day, they cost less than the garages and include a complimentary shuttle every 10 minutes. You won't save as much as you would off-site, but there's no need to coordinate with an outside provider.

Ready to Find Your Best BNA Airport Parking Spot?

The best BNA airport parking choice comes down to three things: your budget, your flight time, and how long you're traveling. Off-site lots start at about $5/day with no shuttle, or about $10/day with one, and are the clear winner for multi-day trips. On-airport Economy Lots at $24/day offer a fast, frequent shuttle with no outside coordination needed. Terminal Garages at $36/day make sense for short trips when walking distance matters most.

Every booking on Triply comes with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so there's no risk to booking early. Nashville International Airport sees heavy demand during CMA Fest, the NFL season, and holiday weekends. Spaces go fast. Booking now holds your space at the rate you booked.
