University Airport Shuttle Service

Oxford to Memphis Airport

For students and University affiliates, the University’s Division of Outreach Events & Services offers a shuttle service between the University and Memphis International Airport (MEM). 

The shuttle is reservation-only and operates exclusively between Oxford, MS and Memphis International Airport.

Shuttle Rates

One-Way:

$95 per person (Oxford to MEM or MEM to Oxford)

Round-Trip:

$145 per person (Oxford to MEM and return)

  • To book a round-trip, you'll need to provide flight information for both travel dates when making the reservation. 
  • Payment must be made before your first shuttle ride. We accept VISA or MasterCard.

Shuttle Schedule

Operating Hours

  • Make reservations at least 6 business days prior to travel date.
  • The shuttle operates 7 days a week, except on  University-recognized holidays and home football game days. 
  • The earliest departing flight time we can accommodate is a 10:00 a.m. CST flight, and the latest arriving flight time we can accommodate is a 10:00 p.m. CST flight.

School Breaks and High-Demand Dates

During school holidays and high-demand travel dates, shuttles often reach full capacity quickly, so it’s important to book early. 

  • For these High-Demand dates, we’ve partnered with a charter bus service to handle the high demand.
  • As a result, we will only use the Jackson Avenue Center (JAC) for pick-ups and drop-offs during these times and do not offer service elsewhere in the Oxford/University area during these dates.

Tips for using our shuttle service:

Let us know if your plans change.
We manage shuttles for hundreds of passengers during High Volume Travel dates, and we rely on passengers to keep us informed.
An email or text with your name and details of the change is the quickest way to communicate.
Please be patient as we respond.
We receive many calls daily and are not available 24/7, but we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Be understanding.
We schedule shuttle wait times to minimize delays for everyone, but this may affect some passengers more than others.
