Knoxville Airport Transportation
Flying into McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) (2055 Alcoa Hwy, Alcoa, TN 37701) with a group? The airport sits roughly 12 miles south of downtown Knoxville along US-129, and coordinating enough rideshares to move everyone from baggage claim to the hotel — or from the hotel to the terminal on departure morning — turns into a logistical headache fast. A Knoxville airport shuttle bus rental keeps the whole group on one vehicle and one timeline instead of staggering arrivals across multiple apps.
Ground transportation pickup at TYS is curbside on the Arrivals Level outside the baggage claim exits. Have your group coordinator wait until every passenger has luggage in hand before calling the bus to the curb — curb time is managed and a vehicle circling while two people are still at the carousel costs everyone time. Check current ground transportation guidance on the official McGhee Tyson Airport parking and transportation page before your arrival date.

For a pre-arranged group pickup, McGhee Tyson Airport requires commercial ground-transportation providers to hold an airport permit; temporary permits must be requested at least two business days before pickup. Have the group organizer designate the transportation provider in writing before arrival so the airport paperwork does not delay the curbside meet-up. See the McGhee Tyson temporary ground transportation permit before finalizing an airport itinerary.
