Budget is cheapest at BNA for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, averaging £44 a day from 1,872 prices, but you need a credit card. Budget has an airport desk, with an average wait of 23 minutes, and does not yet have enough reviews for a score. For an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, Avis averages £46 a day from 624 prices and scores 78/100 from 1,113 reviews over the last 5 months.
