Whether you’re road-tripping to nearby attractions or exploring downtown Nashville, Turo’s got a car for you. With these top driving tips up your sleeve, you'll enjoy a stress-free car rental experience in Nashville.
Picking up your Nashville Airport rental car is simple and stress-free with Turo. Forget about navigating a rental car facility with confusing paperwork. Your host will park the vehicle in one of the approved lots — Terminal Lot A, Economy Lot B, or Economy Lot C. Once you land, follow the airport signs to the ground transportation level, locate the parking lot, and find your rental car ready and waiting. Your host will leave a parking ticket in the car so you can exit the lot with ease.
Many Turo hosts offer contactless check-in, which means you can unlock the car remotely through the app and skip any face-to-face interaction. Whether you’re arriving late at night or just want a seamless pickup, Turo takes the hassle out of starting your Nashville adventure.
Dropping off your car rental at BNA is just as easy as picking it up. Return the vehicle to the same lot where you picked it up — Terminal Lot A, Economy Lot B, or Economy Lot C. Park the car in an available spot, pull a parking ticket at the entrance, and leave the ticket inside the car for your host.
Before leaving, make sure to message your host through the Turo app with the parking stall number and location. Some hosts provide a lockbox for the keys, or you can coordinate remote locking. It’s a quick and smooth process, so you can focus on catching your next flight without any stress.
Nashville Intl Airport is about 8 miles from the heart of downtown Nashville, so you’ll be hitting the city streets in about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The most direct route is via I-40 West, but if you prefer a more scenic drive, take Elm Hill Pike to soak in some local vibes.
Driving in Nashville is pretty straightforward, but here’s what you need to know to navigate like a pro. Speed limits vary from 25–35 miles per hour (mph) in urban areas to 55–70 mph on highways. Always wear your seatbelt and keep your cell phone hands-free while driving. Be mindful of pedestrians and scooters, especially in busy areas like Broadway and the Gulch. If you’re driving near schools, remember to stop at least 25 feet away from school buses with flashing red lights.
Traffic in Nashville can get hectic during rush hours (7–9 am and 4–6 pm), particularly on I-40, I-65, and I-24. If you’re exploring downtown, plan for congestion near tourist hotspots. Weather-wise, summers are hot and humid, while winters are mild, with occasional icy patches on elevated roads. Rain is frequent, so take it slow on slick streets and make sure to keep a good distance between you and the next car.
Parking in Nashville can be a mixed bag, but there are lots of options if you know where to look. Downtown has a mix of metered street parking and public garages. Popular spots like the Library Garage on 6th Ave N, Music City Center Garage on 5th Ave S, and Fifth + Broadway Garage near Broadway are great choices.
If you’re visiting the Gulch, check out the Pine Street Flats Garage, which is conveniently located near restaurants and shops. Suburban neighborhoods like East Nashville offer free parking, and you’ll often find more available spaces away from downtown’s hustle and bustle.
No tolls here! Drive freely through Nashville and its surroundings without worrying about extra fees.
Fuel up at gas stations along Murfreesboro Pike or Elm Hill Pike near BNA. If you’re driving an electric sedan, plug in at Music City Center or Green Hills Mall. Chargers are also scattered across downtown hotels like the Renaissance and Sheraton, and parking garages.
Definitely! Public transport is limited to buses, which can be slow and inconsistent, especially if you’re traveling beyond the downtown area. With a BNA car rental, Nashville airport is the perfect diving boarding if you want to experience the city and its surroundings fully.
A rental car offers the freedom to explore iconic landmarks like the Johnny Cash Museum, Grand Ole Opry, and Percy Warner Park on your own schedule. It’s also perfect for road trips to nearby destinations like Franklin, the Natchez Trace Parkway, or even the Jack Daniel’s Distillery.
Nashville’s Turo hosts offer a wide range of vehicles to suit every traveler and trip type. If luxury is your style, choose a premium luxury SUV like the Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes-Benz GLE for maximum comfort. For eco-conscious drivers, Turo has electric options like the Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, or Rivian R1S. Travelers looking for a sporty edge can opt for a performance car like the Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Corvette.
Families and groups will appreciate spacious luxury SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, while practical travelers might prefer midsize SUVs like the Honda CR-V or versatile pickup trucks like the Ford F-150. Compact cars like the Toyota Corolla are perfect for zipping around the city, while full-size luxury sedans like the BMW 5 Series are ideal for business trips or upscale outings.
No matter your needs, there’s a vehicle class waiting for you in Music City.

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

List of airport locations* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
