The Nashville campuses we run to
Vanderbilt dominates academic and medical travel in this market, with a campus just west of downtown and a medical centre on the same site drawing patients from across the mid-south. The smaller colleges around the city are straightforward by comparison. Much of this work recurs — visiting faculty, candidates and patients on schedules — and we set those up as standing arrangements where we can.
Universities and medical campuses. Vanderbilt dominates academic and medical travel here, with its hospital drawing patients from across the region.
Vanderbilt University
West End
Just west of downtown on a large wooded campus with restricted internal access and a street address that will put a vehicle a walk from most buildings. Commencement and home football weekends fill the West End approaches entirely.
Owen Graduate School of Management
Vanderbilt campus
On the Vanderbilt campus with executive education programmes bringing senior visitors through regularly, frequently on tight schedules between the school and BNA. Those recur and work well as standing arrangements with a named chauffeur.
Belmont University
Music Row
On the hill above Music Row, a compact campus on residential streets with limited but workable vehicle access. Its music business programmes bring industry visitors through constantly. Close to Green Hills and a short run to downtown.
Fisk University
North Nashville
In north Nashville, a historically Black university with a compact campus and straightforward city-street access. Quiet and simple to work, and close to downtown without being in its traffic.
Tennessee State University
North-west Nashville
North-west of the city on a large open campus with its own road network and proper parking. Straightforward outside home football weekends. A moderate run from the airport and close to John C. Tune for private arrivals.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
West End
On the Vanderbilt site sharing the campus approaches, with separate entrances for different services and constant traffic through the day. Patients travel here from across the mid-south. Treatment days are better booked hourly because the return time is rarely knowable.
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital
West End
On the Vanderbilt medical campus with a dedicated family entrance and a steady flow of families travelling with children and equipment from across the region. The vehicle matters as much as the route and we ask about seating at booking.
Saint Thomas Health
Across the region
A network of hospitals around Nashville rather than a single site, including campuses in west Nashville and out toward Murfreesboro. The name alone can place a vehicle a long way from the right door, so confirming the specific facility is the useful step at booking.
To the Nashville campuses
Door to campus, ordinary conditions. Commencement and game weekends are not ordinary conditions and we plan those separately.
| Route | Approx. distance | Off-peak | Allow in peak |
|---|---|---|---|
| BNA to Vanderbilt | 10 miles | 16–22 min | 28–45 min |
| Downtown to Vanderbilt | 3 miles | 10–16 min | 20–35 min |
| BNA to Belmont | 10 miles | 16–24 min | 28–46 min |
| Downtown to Fisk | 3 miles | 10–15 min | 18–32 min |
| Downtown to Tennessee State | 5 miles | 12–18 min | 22–38 min |
How Nashville campus and medical transfers are priced
Campus and medical transfers are quoted per route and confirmed in writing before you travel, with no surge pricing at any hour. Recurring academic and treatment schedules are set up as a standing arrangement at an agreed rate with a named chauffeur.
Treatment days at Vanderbilt are better booked hourly. The campus is busy through the whole day, the return time is rarely knowable, and recalling a vehicle into West End traffic takes longer than the map suggests.
