Knoxville Airport Parking Cost: $13 to $22/Day, Hourly Rates and Weekly Totals (2026)

As of October 2026, Knoxville airport parking costs $13/day in Economy Lots C and G, $16/day in Terminal Lots A and B and $22/day in the Garage. Every lot charges $1 per 20 minutes until the daily maximum, so short-term parking is $3 an hour anywhere. A week runs about $91 in Economy, while one off-site lot on Triply came to $65.40 for a sample week.

For lot locations, pick-up and the Phone & Wait Lot, see our McGhee Tyson airport parking guide.

TYS Airport Parking Fees by Lot

Each lot has the same $1 per 20 minutes rate and a different daily maximum.

These are the airport's posted rates from the TYS parking map and rates page. Economy went up to $13 on 1 July 2026, and the other lots did not change. The airport does not say whether the rates include tax, and it publishes no weekly or monthly rates.

TYS Short-Term Parking Rates

For short stays, every lot costs the same: $1 per 20 minutes, or $3 an hour, until its daily cap.

Economy reaches its cap after 4 hours 20 minutes, the Terminal Lots after 5 hours 20 minutes and the Garage after 7 hours 20 minutes. For a short visit, the Garage or Terminal Lot A costs the same as Economy and saves the shuttle ride. If you are only meeting a flight, the Phone & Wait Lot next to the Airport Hilton is free while you stay with your car.

Knoxville Airport Parking Cost Per Day and Per Trip

For trips of a day or more, the daily maximum is what you pay for each day.

Totals assume one daily charge per day; the airport does not publish how a partial last day is billed. Stays are capped at 30 continuous days without approval from Republic Parking, (865) 970-2749. Our TYS long-term parking guide covers the Economy shuttle for longer trips, and the TYS garage guide explains what the extra $9/day buys.

How to Save on Knoxville Airport Parking

The airport publishes no coupons, promo codes or prepaid discounts, so the savings come from choosing the right lot and booking off-site when it is cheaper.

• Use Economy for trips over about 5 hours. At $13/day it is $9/day less than the Garage.
• Use a close lot for short visits. Under about 4 hours, all lots cost the same per 20 minutes.
• Wait for free. Pick-up drivers can use the free Phone & Wait Lot instead of paying for the Garage.
• Compare off-site for trips of 5 days or more. USA PARKING Knoxville Airport requires at least 5 days and came in under Economy for our sample week.

Can You Reserve or Prepay TYS Parking?

The airport lists no way to reserve or prepay its own lots; you pay when you leave, by cash or card.

That means you can't hold a space, and the lots can run close to full, so check the airport's live parking status before you leave. The airport also gives no refunds for flight delays, cancellations or weather. If you lose your exit receipt, call Republic Parking at (865) 970-2749 or email info@tys.org.

Off-Site Parking vs Economy: Cost for One Week

For our sample week, the one off-site lot on Triply cost less than every official lot.

Triply prices are for a sample 7-day booking (check-in 10 AM on 13 November, check-out 2 PM on 19 November 2026), include taxes and fees, and change by date. The sample stay runs 6 days and 4 hours, so airport totals are shown for 6 and 7 daily charges. Of the $65.40, $42.76 is paid at the lot on arrival. Its shuttle runs to the airport from 4 AM to 11 PM and back 24/7 on call, and you get a 100% refund if you cancel up to the day of arrival.
