Memphis Airport Transportation
Memphis International Airport (MEM) (2491 Winchester Rd, Memphis, TN 38116) sits roughly 12 miles southeast of downtown via I-55 North — a manageable drive until a Grizzlies game or a major convention at the Renasant Convention Center backs up I-55 near the Crump Boulevard interchange. At that point, a trip that should take 20 minutes turns into 45. A Memphis airport sprinter van keeps your whole group in one vehicle from the terminal curb to your hotel or event venue, with no rental car coordination and no splitting into rideshares during a surge.
For pickups: have your group coordinator contact the transportation company once your full group has bags and is assembled curbside — do not call ahead of baggage claim. Commercial vehicle operations at MEM use the airport's commercial drive on the lower level; the published height limit for the lower-level inner drive lane is 10 feet 10 inches, so give the operator the van's exact height before booking. Operators accessing the commercial drive three or more times per month need an airport permit, while occasional users have a separate process.
The airport's Ground Transportation Department lists (901) 922-8011 for permit and commercial-drive questions. Check the official MEM pickup and drop-off page for the current curb layout before you land. Call 901-783-3500 to set up your Memphis airport shuttle today!
