Drive865 for Farragut residents
Farragut is one of the best-positioned Knoxville suburbs for Drive865 pickup. TYS is 15 minutes away via I-40 east and I-140, closer than almost any other Knox County address except Alcoa itself. For Farragut residents, the TYS lockbox works like a normal rental pickup: follow the directions in your booking confirmation, open the lockbox, and drive.
The alternative is Maryville pickup, about 25 minutes south on US-321. Maryville pickup avoids the airport lot fee and puts you 25 minutes closer to the back roads of Blount County: Foothills Parkway, the Cades Cove corridor, and the southern approach to Tail of the Dragon. If your trip is primarily Smokies-focused, Maryville makes the better starting point.
Farragut is also Turkey Creek country, the commercial hub of West Knoxville. If you're meeting visitors flying in, TYS pickup is the obvious choice. If you're a local who just wants a weekend car, Maryville saves you the drive to the airport.
From Turkey Creek to Tail of the Dragon
The range from Farragut is better than most Knoxville addresses realize. Tail of the Dragon is 75 minutes south on US-129. Cades Cove is 70 minutes via Maryville and Townsend. The Foothills Parkway west entrance is about 60 minutes. These are all day-trip distances. Leave Farragut at 7am and you're on the Dragon by 8:15. That's a full driving day before noon.
Cherohala Skyway adds another 30 minutes beyond the Dragon entrance at Deals Gap, but a Farragut resident doing the Cherohala-and-Dragon combination day can leave at 6:30am and be done before sunset with a lunch stop in Robbinsville. Check the mileage terms for your selected vehicle and trip before booking. Include the drive to your destination and the return journey when estimating distance.
The shorter option: Foothills Parkway. The western section's Walland entrance is 55 minutes from Farragut. Seventeen miles of ridge road, no stop signs, views into the national park. It's not the Dragon, but it's a genuine driver's road that many West Knoxville residents have never actually driven.

Frequently asked questions
Can Farragut residents pick up at TYS without parking a car there?
Yes. You can get dropped off at TYS, pick up the rental, and leave. When you return the car, follow the drop-off instructions, lock the keys in the lockbox, and arrange your own pickup. Many local renters get a rideshare to pickup so they don't leave a personal car at the airport.
Is there delivery to Farragut residential addresses or hotels?
Case-by-case. We arrange delivery to Farragut-area addresses for some bookings: hotels near Turkey Creek and residences off Kingston Pike/Concord Road corridor. Message us before booking with your address and dates. We'll confirm availability.
How long does the drive from Farragut to the Smoky Mountains take?
Gatlinburg is about 80 minutes from Farragut via I-40 east and US-321 south (roughly 65 miles). Cades Cove is similar in time: 70 minutes via Maryville and Townsend. Tail of the Dragon is 75 minutes via US-129 through Maryville and Chilhowee. All realistic day-trip drives from Farragut.
Which Drive865 pickup is actually closer to Farragut: TYS or Maryville?
TYS is closer by time: 15 minutes east on I-40/I-140. Maryville is about 25 minutes south on US-321. For a quick pickup on the way to the Dragon or Smokies, Maryville is the smarter starting point because it's already 10 miles in the right direction. For anything that starts in Knoxville or farther east, TYS is the logical choice.
How do I see pricing and request a booking?
Open a vehicle and select your trip start and end dates and times to see pricing. A listed vehicle is not a guarantee of availability for your dates. Continue from the vehicle page to submit a booking request.
Where do I collect the car?
Choose Maryville pickup or contactless delivery at McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS). Review the pickup instructions for your confirmed booking before traveling. Airport delivery has no separate delivery charge. Customer responsible for airport parking fee upon exit, typically no more than $13
