Why 'Turo Gatlinburg' sends you to Knoxville

Gatlinburg is a resort town. The short-term rental market there is all vacation cabins, not cars. Turo's algorithm picks up on geographic intent and broadens the search to the nearest metro with Turo supply, which is Knoxville and McGhee Tyson Airport, about 45 minutes west.

Drive865 is one of the most active Turo hosts in that search radius. Our fleet covers the vehicles Gatlinburg-bound guests actually want: something rugged for Smokies hiking, something sporty for the mountain roads, and something comfortable for families loading up after a cabin stay.

From TYS to Gatlinburg: the 45-minute transition

You land at TYS, unlock the car, and you're on Alcoa Highway within minutes. US-441 south is a straight shot toward Gatlinburg from there: through Maryville, through Townsend, and into the mountains. Or you cut over earlier on US-321 if you want the scenic routing.

45 minutes is fast enough that most guests pick up at TYS and drive directly to Gatlinburg rather than stopping at the Maryville pickup point. The airport adds logistics simplicity for travelers with checked bags.
