Transportation

For those flying into Knoxville, the Knoxville Airport (McGhee-Tyson — TYS) is not accessible via Knoxville’s public transportation system, however there are several taxi companies that service the airport.

We recommend Lightning Taxi. Their flat rate from the airport to the University of Tennessee is $25 + tip. Reserve a pickup at https://www.lightningtaxi.us/ or call or text them at 865-719-4330.
