Get your bags, exit Smyrna, TN Airport (MQY), and collect your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be mainly driving in downtown Nashville, around 19 miles from the terminal, go for something zippy. A compact car that’s easy to operate will be ideal for those busy streets. But with so many things to see, like the striking rolling hills of the region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
