Booking in Memphis
Curb to car is quicker here than in most cities. What needs managing is everything around it, from the Medical District to an evening on Beale. Chauffeured sedans and SUVs across Memphis — an airport that is one of the largest cargo hubs on earth and a comfortably small passenger terminal, a downtown that empties onto Beale Street most evenings, and a medical and logistics economy that brings people here on a schedule. Booked and managed by Executive Black Car, driven by vetted local operators who work these roads every day.

Memphis airports
Memphis International (MEM)
One of the largest cargo airports in the world attached to a passenger terminal that is refreshingly small and quick to clear. Concourse B carries almost all of the passenger traffic after the recent modernisation, the walk to the kerb is short, and a kerb collection genuinely works here rather than being a compromise.
Concourse B · Short walk · Meet & greet
Private aviation
MEM handles substantial private and corporate traffic on its own ramp, with Olive Branch just over the Mississippi line and West Memphis across the river in Arkansas taking more. Olive Branch is well placed for the eastern suburbs and for Mississippi business. For private arrivals we work from the tail number and coordinate with the FBO directly. Tell us the field and the FBO when you book and we will confirm coverage before you travel.

Where we work in Memphis
Downtown & Beale Street
We work from the cross streets, not Main or Beale. The corporate core sits along Front Street and the river bluff, with Beale Street a few blocks east closing to vehicles most evenings. We work from the cross streets rather than Main or Beale, which is quicker and considerably calmer.
The Medical District
Medical travel here often recurs over weeks, not days. It generates constant visiting-physician, researcher and family travel, much of it recurring over weeks rather than days, and it is one of the defining features of this market.
East Memphis & Poplar corridor
Proper forecourts make East Memphis easy to work. The corporate and professional centre of gravity has moved east over the years, and a great deal of our business travel now starts or ends along Poplar Avenue rather than downtown. The office parks here have proper forecourts and parking, which makes them easy to work.
Germantown, Collierville & the east
Real distances, quoted as transfers rather than local runs. The affluent eastern suburbs carry the executive residential work and a share of the corporate campuses. These are real distances from the airport and we quote them as transfers rather than local runs. Much of the work out here is recurring, which rewards a consistent chauffeur.
Logistics, and why the hours are odd
Night is a working shift here, and dispatch is staffed for it. This is a freight city, and the night is a working shift rather than a quiet period. A meaningful share of our bookings here are at hours that would be unusual elsewhere — crews, auditors and executives moving around a cargo operation that runs hardest after midnight.
Typical journey times across Memphis

| Germantown | 16 miles | 20–28 min | 30–48 min |

| Southaven, Mississippi | 13 miles | 18–24 min | 26–40 min |
Hotels, venues and campuses we run to
Hotel transfers in Memphis
The Peabody sits in the middle of downtown with a forecourt that works, but the blocks around it close during festival weekends. The Guest House at Graceland is well south near the airport and is a different journey entirely.
Events & venues in Memphis
FedExForum and the Orpheum both empty toward Beale, which is already closed to vehicles on a busy evening. We stage north or west of the arena and come forward on a call.
Tunica and the Mississippi casinos are a routine run south, and Oxford fills entirely on Ole Miss home weekends. Both are quoted per trip rather than hourly.
- FedExForum
- Renasant Convention Center
- Orpheum Theatre Memphis
- AutoZone Park
- Graceland
- Memphis Botanic Garden
- Beale Street Music Festival

Universities & campuses in Memphis
St. Jude families frequently travel for weeks or months at a time and the same journeys recur. We set those up as standing arrangements with the same chauffeur wherever we can, which matters a great deal to people in the middle of a hard year.
