Memphis airport transfers
Memphis International Airport (MEM) is 11 miles southeast of downtown Memphis, serving 4.8 million passengers annually. MEM is also the global superhub for FedEx Express — the world's busiest cargo airport, handling 4.3 million metric tons of freight annually. The passenger terminal was rebuilt with a new concourse completed in 2020, consolidating operations into a modern single-terminal layout.
MEM passenger pickup is at the ground transportation level of Terminal B. Your chauffeur meets you at the baggage claim exit with a name sign, assists with luggage, and walks you to the vehicle. For FedEx corporate visitors, Detailed Drivers provides direct transfer service between MEM and the FedEx World Hub at 3610 Hacks Cross Road — 8 miles from the terminal via Democrat Road.
| Destination | Distance | Off-peak | Rush hour | Sedan rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Memphis | 11 mi | 15 min | 25-35 min | $45 |
| East Memphis | 8 mi | 12 min | 20-30 min | $40 |
| Germantown | 14 mi | 18 min | 25-40 min | $50 |
| Collierville | 22 mi | 25 min | 35-50 min | $55 |
| FedEx World Hub | 8 mi | 10 min | 15-20 min | $35 |
| Southaven, MS | 12 mi | 15 min | 20-30 min | $45 |
MEM routes use I-240, I-55, I-40, and Poplar Avenue depending on destination and traffic. Rush hour on I-240 East (4-6 PM) can add 15-20 minutes to East Memphis and Germantown trips. Your chauffeur selects the fastest route in real time — Poplar Avenue is often faster than I-240 during afternoon rush.
