Nashville car service rates — and how our pricing actually works.
Select Payment Method
Most car services answer the price question with “request a quote.” Here’s ours in writing. Our rates stay consistent — even on the weekends when everything else in this town surges — and every trip is confirmed by a human before you commit a dollar. No app, no account, no login, no surprises.
One request, two ways it gets done.
You send a request — the booking panel, a text, a call, WhatsApp. Dispatch looks at it, and one of two things happens.
A My Nashville Driver ride
Our car, our driver, our published rates below. This is the majority of trips.
An affiliate network ride
One company can’t take every job in this city, and we won’t pretend otherwise. When we can’t take yours, we arrange it through operators we trust — at a fair quote you approve before anything is booked. You’ll always know which one you’re getting.
Or the honest answer
If neither is your best option — a rideshare, a hotel car, a different plan — we’ll tell you that too. People remember who gave them straight advice.
Rides we drive ourselves.
These are our standard rates. If your trip doesn’t fit the standard shape, say so — dispatch prices unusual trips case by case, and we’d rather have the conversation than pad every number to cover surprises.
BNA airport transfers — to or from
Going to John C. Tune (JWN) instead? Add $15 to the rates above — and yes, we explain exactly why in the FAQ.
We do math in public.
6 hours and 400 miles = $570 hourly + 250 extra miles × $2.50 = from $1,195. That’s the whole calculation — no line items you didn’t see coming.
“Even during CMA Fest, our hourly rate is $95.”
What changes in peak weeks isn’t our price — it’s which trips we can say yes to. When the whole town is gridlocked, we may decline a point-to-point we’d normally take, because we won’t quote a price we can’t deliver a good experience at. The rate you saw in February is the rate in June.
Hourly vs. round trip.
Which should you ask for?
If you’re not sure which fits, describe your day to dispatch — that’s literally what we’re for.
Hourly — the car is dedicated to you
- It stays onsite; plans can change freely
- Forgot something? It’s in your car, not a stranger’s
- Leave bags, jackets, golf clubs — it’s your vehicle for the duration
Round trip — two scheduled rides
- The driver works other jobs between your legs
- Same driver both ways intended — not guaranteed
- Right when your schedule is fixed and the car doesn’t need to wait
Affiliate network rides.
Nobody else in Nashville puts this section on their website.
You’ll always know
We tell you it’s an affiliate car up front — never after. The quote comes first: a fair market price, confirmed before anything is committed.
Policies in writing
Affiliates set their own terms — cancellation, gratuity, vehicle specifics. If there’s something you need in writing that you don’t see, ask. We’ll get the answer before you commit.
Pay whoever’s easier
Directly to the affiliate, or through My Nashville Driver — whatever works best for you.
And we don’t charge you a fee for any of this.
We don’t need to. We make our money on the back end — negotiating affiliate rates with our partners, the way any good broker should. Here’s the proof: we leave it up to you who you pay, us or them. If we were padding your quote, we couldn’t afford to offer that choice. Transparency and fairness — that’s the whole model.
What’s included, what isn’t.
Not included
Unless we note otherwise on your confirmation, or you ask us to build it in.
No fees. Ever.
On rides we drive ourselves, there are no cancellation fees. It is not our goal to profit from things that can’t be controlled. Affiliate rides follow the affiliate’s policy — which you’ll have before you book.
Unconditional
The only thing that ever moves an hourly price is mileage past the included 25 miles per hour. Not the hour, not the date. Not at 2 a.m., not on New Year’s Eve, not during CMA Fest.
BNA pickups, exactly how they work
We track your flight — no penalty for early or late arrivals. It’s part of the service, and it’s why people use us. Early, late, on time: when you land, we’re there. Within seconds of touchdown you’ll get a message from your driver — on site, tracking you to the gate. Then you have two options.
Limo Lane express
Head to Level 1 and follow the signs for Taxi/Limo. Your driver waits in the limo line, just behind the taxis. One tip: don’t cross the street — that garage across the road is rideshare. Turn right instead.
Meet & Greet
Your driver meets you at baggage claim and helps with luggage. One honest caveat: parking gives us 30 free minutes, then $15 for 30–60. If your bags run badly late, that parking cost is forwarded to your bill — the only way this option ever costs more than quoted.
Where we quietly shine
We drop you in the commercial lane at Departures — you walk straight into security. Rideshare drops at the garage, where you hike from Level 1 up to Level 3 with your bags.
When we’re not your best option.
Leaving a packed event and hourly isn’t in the budget? Take a licensed taxi. This surprises people, and we recommend it almost every time: Broadway at closing, a stadium letting out, festival exits — a taxi usually beats both a point-to-point booking and a rideshare. The reason is legal, not loyalty: taxis are the only vehicles allowed to flag a ride. Once you see one, you’ve found your ride. Rideshares and private bookings mean locating your specific driver — and with road closures and spotty cell service in a crowd of thousands, finding your car is often the hardest part of the night.
A warning from a guy who drives these streets: only licensed taxis may pick up a flag — “vehicle for hire” permits don’t allow it. If an unmarked car offers you a curbside ride like a taxi, it isn’t one. Don’t trust unlicensed taxis, or vehicles for hire posing as them.
On a budget? We’ll still help. Ask us for current Uber rates — we’ll share them, along with advice on getting the best out of the rideshare experience. Seriously.
Ask us anyway. If the right answer is “take an Uber” — or “flag a cab” — we’ll say so. We’d rather lose a $55 ride than your trust.
Where we win, either way: when we drive you, we win on the experience — an excellent driver, a premium vehicle, and pricing that doesn’t move with the crowds. When we’re unavailable, we win by pairing you with the best option at a fair rate — saving you the shopping, often at a lower price than you’d find on your own. Either way, you get our experience and our vetting at no additional cost.
Rates FAQ.
How much does a car service cost in Nashville?
With us: $95 per hour with a 2-hour minimum for a dedicated luxury SUV, BNA airport transfers from $95, and point-to-point rides from $55. Every price is confirmed with you by a human before you ride.
Do prices go up during CMA Fest, New Year’s Eve, or big game weekends?
No. Our rates do not surge — not at 2 a.m., not on New Year’s Eve, not during CMA Fest. What changes in peak weeks is which trips we can accept. We will not take a job we cannot do well.
Is gratuity included?
Not unless your confirmation says so or you ask us to build it in.
What is your cancellation policy?
For rides we drive ourselves: no cancellation fees. It is not our goal to profit from things that cannot be controlled. Affiliate rides follow the affiliate’s policy, which we share before you book.
What if my trip doesn’t fit your standard rates?
Tell dispatch. Unusual mileage, multi-stop days, round trips — we price them case by case, and we like the conversation.
Why does it cost $2.50 per extra mile?
Here is the actual math. An Escalade costs approximately $130,000 after taxes and fees and is worth about $30,000 at 100,000 miles. Every mile added to the odometer costs $1 in depreciation — the truck is worth a dollar less at the end of each mile — before fuel, maintenance, and insurance stack on top. Distance-billed services typically charge $3.25 to $4.50 per mile because their rate also carries the driver’s time; ours does not have to, because your hourly rate already covers your driver.
Why is there a $15 surcharge for John C. Tune?
The odds of us picking up another ride in or out of John C. Tune around your trip are very low — unlike BNA, the car almost always comes back empty. The $15 covers the mileage and fuel back to town or to our garage. Nothing more.
What is the best way to get out of downtown after a big event?
It depends on the day — the cheapest ride might be a taxi, a rideshare, or a private car. Our honest advice: the price of waiting far exceeds the fare difference. If you are leaving heavy congestion without a dedicated car waiting, a licensed taxi is the easiest ride to actually get into — it is the only vehicle that can legally be flagged. Text us your plans and we will tell you what we would do that night.
Not sure what your trip should cost?
Build a request in the booking panel, or just text us the plan — a human confirms every number before you commit.
