Frequently asked questions about TYS
What should I confirm before driving to McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS)?
TYS is organized around a largely single-terminal passenger layout, so parking choice is usually more about walking or transfer time, parking type and total stay cost than selecting between terminals. Check current access or construction notices on the official airport site before you drive in.
What should I compare for a longer parking stay at TYS?
For a longer stay at TYS, compare the total trip price rather than the advertised daily rate alone. Also check walking or shuttle time, covered versus outdoor parking, reservation rules, vehicle-height limits, access hours and the provider’s cancellation terms.
Where should I verify pickup, rideshare and rental-car locations at TYS?
Use the official airport map and ground-transport information linked on this page to confirm current rental-car, taxi, rideshare and passenger-pickup locations at TYS. Curb assignments and construction routing can change, so current airport signage should take priority over older directions.
How should I arrange accessible parking or assistance at TYS?
Check TYS’s official accessibility guidance before travel and arrange airline wheelchair or gate assistance directly with the airline when needed. Confirm that your chosen parking facility and any transfer shuttle can accommodate your specific mobility requirements.
