Getting around in Nashville
Taxi
Taxis are relatively easy to get in Nashville. Checker Cab (phone: 615-256-7000),
American Music City Taxi (phone: 615-262-0451) and Nashville
Cab (phone: tel. 615/244-7433). The fixed drop rate is $3;
$2 per additional mile, plus $1 for every extra passenger.
On Foot
Downtown Nashville is a beautiful place to walk around if the weather is good. Visit
the numerous attractions, have a delicious meal, do some shopping, and
go to a club, all without botheration of getting in and out of your car. The
suburban strips, however, can't make that claim.
Car Hire
Nashville is very car-friendly city due to its straight, wide roads laid
out in a simple grid orientation.
Car Hire in Nashville is definitely worth "going in" for as it will
give you the freedom to see the city at your own pace. Usually a person between
the age brackets of 18 to 75 years with a valid license is allowed to drive a private,
non-commercial vehicle in the city. If you like to drive, don't forget
to carry your driver's license. For foreigners, International Driving Permit
is compulsory.
Depending on the way you're travelling, there are many types of Nashville car rental services that can make
it convenient for you to move comfortably between hotels, places of interest,
restaurants and airports. Pick from economy vehicles to go for a trip around the
city to full size vehicles for longer inter-city excursions - all at best
prices.
