A one-week stay at BNA airport parking costs between $70 and $280 depending on which lot you choose. The range is wide enough that picking the right option before you leave for the airport is worth the 5 minutes of planning.
On-Site Options for 7 Days
Economy Lots B and C are the cheapest on-site options at approximately $16-20 per day. For 7 days, that comes to roughly $112-140. These are open-air surface lots farther from the terminal, requiring a shuttle that runs 24/7. Oversized vehicles including trucks with hitches or large SUVs are directed to these lots. If the shuttle timing matters to you, Economy lots run shuttles continuously but expect a wait of 5-15 minutes.
BNA Express Park (covered lot) runs slightly higher than Economy but lower than the Terminal Garages, positioning it as a mid-range choice for longer stays. For 7 days, expect approximately $140-175.
Terminal Garages 1 and 2 charge approximately $24-26 per day. At 7 days, that’s $168-182. The advantage is direct connection to the terminal building without a shuttle, which matters in bad weather or when hauling heavy bags. EV charging is available in both garages. During the winter months or when arriving home at midnight, the difference between walking through a connected garage and waiting for a shuttle in the rain is concrete.
Valet Parking at approximately $36-40 per day runs $252-280 for 7 days. For most travelers, that price is difficult to justify over a week unless the trip is being expensed or convenience is worth a significant premium. The valet service is fast and professional but not $140 better than the Economy lot.
Off-Site Options for 7 Days
Off-site hotel park-and-fly lots within 1-2 miles of BNA consistently beat on-site pricing. Common options and their approximate weekly costs:
- Fly Away Airport Parking (1671 Murfreesboro Pike): 24/7 shuttle valet, approximately $8-12/day or $56-84 for 7 days when booked online
- Sheraton Music City Hotel: approximately $10/day or $70 for 7 days with advance booking
- Radisson Hotel BNA: approximately $9-10/day with 24/7 shuttle, around $63-70 for 7 days
- Cambria Hotel Nashville Airport: approximately $9-10/day with complimentary shuttle, around $63-70 for 7 days
- Avid Hotel Nashville Airport: similar range, complimentary shuttle
Book through SpotHero, OneStopParking, or directly through the hotels for the best rates. Online booking typically saves 30-50% over walk-in rates at these facilities.
The Week-Long Math
| Option | Daily Rate | 7-Day Total |
|---|---|---|
| Off-site hotel lots (booked online) | $8-12 | $56-84 |
| Economy Lots B/C (on-site) | $16-20 | $112-140 |
| Express Park (on-site covered) | $20-25 | $140-175 |
| Terminal Garages 1/2 (on-site connected) | $24-26 | $168-182 |
| Valet (on-site) | $36-40 | $252-280 |
What Most People Should Do
For a 7-day trip, the off-site hotel lots beat the on-site options by $56-80 or more. The trade-off is a 5-15 minute shuttle leg at departure and return. For most travelers, that shuttle is a reasonable trade for saving $70+ over the week.
The Terminal Garages make sense if your trip is 1-3 days and the added cost of not dealing with a shuttle simplifies an already stressful departure. At 7 days, the premium is harder to justify.
Book in advance regardless of which option you choose. BNA’s Economy lots fill during CMA Fest (early June), Predators playoff runs, and holiday travel weeks. Off-site lots also fill quickly during these periods. A reservation made the day before your flight during a popular weekend may not be available.
Real-time parking availability for on-site options can be checked at flynashville.com. Many off-site lots offer free cancellation up to the start date, making advance booking low-risk.
