McGhee Tyson Airport · Alcoa, Tennessee
Leave the car. Catch the shuttle.
Long-term airport parking three minutes from the terminal. Flat $10 a day, free shuttle both directions, and a person answers the phone around the clock.
Three steps
How it works
Simple enough to do at four in the morning with a suitcase in your hand.
Call and drive over
Ring the front desk so we can hold a space, then park in any open spot. Arrive at least 30 minutes before you need to be at the terminal so there is time to check in and catch the shuttle.
Pay at the desk
Ten dollars for each day you'll be gone. You'll get a stub with your return details, then the shuttle runs you to the terminal.
Call when you land
Once you have your bags, call the front desk and meet the van at the airport's Shuttle and Taxi pickup area — not the baggage claim curb.
The lot
Where you'll park
An open surface lot off Cusick Road, lit at night and next to a front desk that never closes.
Shuttle
Hours and pickup
The shuttle runs on demand within these hours. Call the front desk and it comes to you.
Heading out: plan to reach the lot at least 30 minutes before you need to be at the terminal. That covers checking in at the desk and the ride over.
Coming home: the shuttle cannot stop at the baggage claim curb. Call the front desk once you have your bags, then walk out to the airport's designated Shuttle and Taxi pickup area.
There is a two-hour window overnight when the shuttle is not running. If your flight leaves or lands between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM, call ahead and we'll work out a plan before you park.

Questions
Good to know
Do I need a reservation?
Not formally, but calling ahead is a good idea. Space is limited and goes quickly on weekends and around holidays. One phone call and we'll hold a spot for you.
How early should I get to the lot?
At least 30 minutes before you need to be at the terminal. That gives you time to park, check in and pay at the front desk, and ride the shuttle over. If you are flying at a busy time, give yourself a little more.
Where does the shuttle pick me up at the airport?
Call the front desk once you have your bags, then walk out to the Shuttle and Taxi pickup area outside baggage claim. The van meets you there rather than at the curb by the doors, so head for the shuttle signs.
Can I pay online?
Not yet. Payment is taken at the front desk when you drop your car off. Online payment is something we're looking at down the road.
How long can I leave my car?
As long as you need. The rate stays $10 a day whether that's two days or two weeks. Keep in mind any part of a day counts as a full day, so a short stay of a few hours is still $10.
What if my flight is delayed?
Call the front desk and let us know. Someone is there 24 hours a day, though remember the shuttle itself does not run between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
What should I know about the lot itself?
It is an open surface lot beside the building, with a front desk that is staffed 24 hours a day. There is no camera coverage and no attendant in the lot, so vehicles are parked at the owner's risk. Take your valuables with you and lock up. Full details are in our terms and conditions.
How far is McGhee Tyson Airport?
