Uber and Lyft at BNA

What a ride costs from Nashville International Airport (BNA) to the places people go most in Nashville, around midday on a weekday.

Where to meet your ride at BNA

Uber and Lyft pickup: Ground Transportation Center on Level 1 of Terminal Garage 2. Leave the Main Terminal on Level 1, turn right and follow the covered walkway and Ride App signs into the garage, then find the lettered bay shown in your app.
Dropoff: Also at the Ground Transportation Center in Terminal Garage 2 (since June 3, 2025), about a five-minute walk to the Grand Lobby, rather than the departures curb.
Taxis: South Wing pickup area of the Ground Transportation Center (follow LIMO - TAXI signs); taxis drop off at the departures curb. Meter starts at $9 plus $2.50 a mile; $30 flat to downtown Nashville or Gaylord Opryland, $2 per extra passenger.
Self-driving rides: None as of October 2026. Waymo carries riders in Nashville and is testing at BNA, but local reporting in July 2026 said airport passenger service had not begun.
Train or bus: WeGo Public Transit buses connect the airport with downtown Nashville; route and fare were not found on the pages read.

Leaving the airport by ride app carries about $7 in fees ($5 airport plus $2 Metro), so the $30 flat taxi downtown can win at busy times.
Being dropped off? Add roughly five minutes for the walk from the garage to the terminal.
Limos booked through Uber or Lyft are also sent to the Ground Transportation Center.
