How Much Does BNA Long Term Parking Cost in 2026?

BNA long term parking rates vary significantly depending on which lot you choose. The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) sets on-airport pricing, while off-site lots compete on price. Here is how the numbers break down as of 2026.

On-airport, Economy Lots B and C charge $24/day, the most affordable option MNAA manages directly. The Terminal Garages (Garage 1 and Garage 2) run $36/day: the first 30 minutes are free, 30 to 60 minutes costs $18, and after an hour you pay the $36 daily maximum. Valet parking costs $48/day and is available at the ground floor of Terminal Garage 1. For a 7-day trip, that is $168 (economy), $252 (garage), or $336 (valet), before you factor in off-site alternatives. These are paid to the airport, not booked on Triply.

Off-site lots Triply sells near BNA run about $5 to $12/day. With a shuttle, they start at about $10/day. A 7-day stay at GLō Best Western Nashville Airport runs about $73 total. That is about $95 less than a week in Economy Lots B and C ($168) and about $179 less than a week in a Terminal Garage ($252).

Compare BNA long term parking from about $10/day with a shuttle on Triply and lock in your spot before it fills up.

What Are the Cheapest Long Term Parking Options at Nashville Airport?

The cheapest BNA long term parking rates come from off-site lots listed 1.3 to 2.5 miles from the terminal. Triply sells ten lots near BNA, and every booking includes free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in. Shuttle terms differ by lot, and Southwestern has no shuttle at all. The table below shows the six best-fit lots plus Southwestern, the cheapest.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of these lots, with the on-airport options for reference:

One critical detail: shuttle hours differ a lot between lots. The Cambria shuttle runs on demand from 4 AM to midnight, the GLō shuttle runs hourly from 4:10 AM to 12:10 AM (and you must call 12 hours ahead), Comfort Suites runs from 4:20 AM to midnight, and Marriott from 4 AM to midnight. If your flight departs before or arrives after those hours, you will need a rideshare at those lots. For very early or late flights, look at Fly Away (24/7 shuttle every 10 minutes) or Holiday Inn Express (24 hours on demand, call a day ahead to book). Always confirm shuttle hours before booking.

On-Site vs Off-Site BNA Long Term Parking: Which Is Better Value?

For most travelers staying more than two days, off-site parking delivers dramatically better value. Here is how the two options compare across the factors that matter most for long trips.

• Price: Off-site lots on Triply cost about $5 to $12/day, or about $10 to $12/day with a shuttle. Economy Lots cost $24/day. Terminal Garages cost $36/day. A shuttle lot is about 68% to 71% less per day than the garages and about 52% to 56% less than Economy.
• Shuttle convenience: Economy Lots B and C offer a complimentary shuttle every 10 minutes. Fly Away's shuttle also runs every 10 minutes, 24/7. Marriott runs every 15 minutes, Comfort Suites every 20 minutes (book 1 hour ahead), and GLō only hourly (call 12 hours ahead).
• Walking distance: Terminal Garages give you direct indoor access with no shuttle needed. This is the main advantage of paying more.
• Security: It varies by lot. Fly Away is fenced and gated, Marriott's lot is gated and fenced, GLō has staff on site 24 hours, and Southwestern is open-air and well-lit with security on site 7 AM to 11 PM only.
• Cancellation: Every lot on Triply includes free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
• Booking: Off-site spots are reserved ahead on Triply at the rate shown when you book. Fly Away requires a booking of at least 4 days.

If you value walking straight from the car to your gate, Terminal Garage 1 serves Concourses A and B, while Garage 2 covers Concourses C, D, and T Gates. But for a week-long trip, paying about $179 extra for that convenience rarely makes financial sense. For a deeper look at all off-site options, see our guide to BNA off-site airport parking rates and best lots.

How Does the BNA Economy Lot Shuttle Service Work?

The Economy Lots B and C shuttle is complimentary and picks up every 10 minutes, making it the best on-airport option for long-term travelers, per official MNAA data. You park in the lot, follow signs to the shuttle pickup area, and ride directly to the terminal.

The shuttle drops you at the terminal departures level. On return, follow the Ground Transportation signs in the arrivals area to reach the shuttle. The Economy Lots hold thousands of vehicles and typically have space even when garages fill. Plan for an extra 15-20 minutes total compared to walking from a garage — 10 minutes for the shuttle plus a few minutes waiting.

Off-site shuttles vary more by lot. At hotel lots such as Holiday Inn Express, Cambria and Marriott you check in at the front desk, and several shuttles are on demand, so call ahead where the lot asks you to. Fly Away is a valet lot: pull under the canopy and leave your keys with the staff. Its complimentary shuttle runs 24/7 every 10 minutes, matching the Economy Lot shuttle's frequency at about $13/day less.

How to Book BNA Long Term Parking in Advance (Step-by-Step)

Pre-booking is strongly recommended during peak travel periods. Nashville hosts major events, including CMA Fest, Titans NFL home games, and New Year's Eve, that can push both off-site lot availability and on-airport capacity to their limits. Booking even a few days early can save your spot.

1. Go to Triply's BNA parking search and enter your travel dates.
2. Compare options side by side by price, shuttle hours, and distance to the terminal.
3. Select your lot and complete the booking. You will receive a confirmation with the lot address and shuttle instructions.
4. Drive to the lot on your travel day and follow its check-in steps: a front desk tag or validation at the hotel lots, a printed confirmation on the dashboard at Southwestern, or valet check-in at Fly Away.
5. Take the shuttle to the terminal. Keep the lot's phone number saved, since several lots ask you to call for your return pickup.
6. On return, follow your lot's pickup instructions from your confirmation. Most hotel lots ask you to call once you have your bags.

Economy lots at the airport are paid to the airport, and no online reservation price is verified for them. Off-site lots on Triply are booked ahead to hold your spot. Note that Donelson Pike is undergoing realignment as part of the $1.4 billion New Horizon expansion. Allow extra time to navigate any detours when accessing the airport in 2026.

BNA Long Term Parking Rates: Economy, Garage, Valet, and Off-Site Compared

To see how BNA long term parking rates stack up, here is a cost comparison across the main options. On-airport rates are the daily maximums posted by MNAA (checked on flynashville.com in October 2026). No weekly rate is posted, so 7 days is the daily rate times seven. Off-site totals use the Triply daily rate.

The savings are clear over a week. A 7-day stay at GLō Best Western costs about $73 total versus $252 in a Terminal Garage, a difference of about $179. Even against Economy Lots B and C ($168), it saves about $95. A 7-night stay is billed as 8 days, so checkout totals at the shuttle lots in the table run about $84 to $101 including any tax, still well under a week in Economy.

Is Long Term Parking at Nashville Airport Safe?

On-airport, BNA's terminal garages and economy lots hold approximately 12,000 vehicles total, and the airport operates under MNAA management with standard lighting and surveillance across all facilities. Off-site lots each list their own security setup, covered below.

On-airport, accessible parking spaces are available on all levels of both Terminal Garages, positioned closest to elevators and terminal access points. Off-site, security varies by lot. Fly Away is fully fenced and gated, the Marriott Nashville Airport lot is gated and fully fenced, and GLō Best Western has staff on site 24 hours a day. Southwestern is an open-air, well-lit lot with security on site from 7 AM to 11 PM only. Most of the hotel lots also have a 24/7 front desk.

For any long-term stay, a few habits reduce risk: remove valuables from your car, photograph your parking space location, and save the lot's phone number. Before you leave for the airport, use the Waze live traffic map to check for any construction detours around Donelson Pike that could affect your route.

Tips for Saving Money on BNA Long Term Parking

A few smart moves can cut your BNA long term parking rates significantly — sometimes by more than half compared to just driving to the nearest garage.

• Book off-site early: Reserving ahead holds your spot at the rate you booked, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
• Check shuttle hours before booking: The Cambria shuttle stops at midnight and the GLō shuttle's last run is 12:10 AM. If you have a very early or late flight, Fly Away's 24/7 shuttle (about $11/day) or Holiday Inn Express's 24-hour shuttle (about $10/day, call a day ahead) is worth a look.
• Avoid valet for long trips: At $48/day, airport valet costs about $336 for 7 days, more than four times a $10/day off-site lot (about $73). Reserve valet for short stays or when convenience is essential.
• Use Economy Lots for on-airport simplicity: If you prefer staying on-airport, Economy Lots B and C at $24/day are about a 33% savings versus the $36 Terminal Garages.
• Avoid peak Nashville event weekends: CMA Fest (June), Titans home games, and holiday travel bring heavy demand. Book ahead during these windows.
• Consider TSA PreCheck to save time at security: If you're already saving money on parking, using TSA PreCheck can shorten your security wait and let you arrive later, reducing the stress of the off-site shuttle journey.
• Look for coupons: Some booking platforms post promo codes. A 10-15% discount on a $10/day lot is meaningful on a long trip.
