Desert · Riverside County
Palm Springs is a drive east on I-10, past the wind farms of the San Gorgonio Pass, and our rides here always start in Los Angeles or Orange County. Most bookings are one-way drop-offs: a downtown hotel, a rental house in the Movie Colony or Deepwell, a wedding at a desert resort, or the festival grounds in Indio in April. If you want the day there and back, book by the hour from your door in LA or OC and the same chauffeur stays with you until you’re home. We can’t begin a ride in the desert, so for a multi-day stay plan your return trip with a local service.
Estimated one-way prices; we pick up anywhere in Los Angeles and Orange County. Your exact fixed price is shown before you pay, based on your address — no surge pricing, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
Most Palm Springs bookings are one-way rides out from LA or Orange County for a weekend: a group renting a house with a pool, a couple checking in downtown, wedding guests bound for a desert resort, or festival-goers heading to Indio in April. A chauffeur makes sense because nobody wants to drive this far after a late flight into LAX or a full workday, and a Sprinter van keeps a group and its luggage in one vehicle. Same-day outings, such as the Aerial Tramway and lunch downtown, work as hourly bookings that begin in LA.
Main routes
Where we drop off
Eastbound I-10 out of LA is slowest on Friday afternoons, so leaving by late morning usually gets you through Banning before the weekend traffic builds.
Strong winds through the San Gorgonio Pass near Whitewater sometimes bring advisories for high-profile vehicles, which can slow a Sprinter van more than a sedan or SUV.
During the film festival in January and Modernism Week in February, downtown hotels and Palm Canyon Drive get crowded, so book the ride out at the same time you book the room.
PSP works as a drop-off for travelers riding out from LA or Orange County to catch a flight from the desert; rides can’t start at the airport, so arriving passengers need a local service for that leg.
The convention center is downtown on Tahquitz Canyon Way, a few blocks east of Palm Canyon Drive, so attendees can be dropped at the hall or at a hotel within walking distance of it.
The valley runs southeast from Palm Springs through Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta to Indio, and drop-offs can be anywhere along it.
The tram’s Valley Station sits at the top of Tramway Road off Highway 111 at the north end of town, and the mountain station is far cooler than the desert floor, so bring a layer even in summer.
El Paseo is in Palm Desert, a few towns down Highway 111 from Palm Springs, and its shops and restaurants line several walkable blocks, so one drop-off covers an afternoon there.

Yes. Every Palm Springs ride starts at an address in LA or Orange County, such as your home, office or hotel, and ends wherever you’re staying in the desert. The fixed price is shown before you book, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours before pickup.
Not as a separate ride. We only start rides in Los Angeles and Orange County, so a return from the desert can’t be booked on its own. If you’re going out and back on the same day, book by the hour from LA or OC; your chauffeur waits in Palm Springs and drives you home on the same booking.
Yes, as a drop-off. Both festivals run on April weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, at the far end of the valley past Palm Springs, and traffic into the grounds is heavy around gate times. The festival sets its own drop-off areas each year, so use the address it publishes as your destination when you book.
Yes. A Sprinter van seats up to 12, so a group of eight fits with spare seats for weekend bags, while an SUV suits groups of up to 6 who pack light. Enter the rental house or hotel address as your drop-off so the van goes straight to the door.
Yes. Drop-off can be anywhere, so resorts and homes across the Coachella Valley are fine, from Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert to Indian Wells and La Quinta further down Highway 111. That includes the Indian Wells Tennis Garden during the tennis tournament in March.
Yes. Book an airport pickup with your flight number and we track the flight, so your chauffeur is there with a name sign whether you land early or late, then heads east on I-10. It suits travelers who find better flights into LAX than into the desert.
A one-way ride from LAX Airport to Palm Springs (about 110 miles) is about $575 in Business Class and $1,090 in First Class. Pickups are anywhere in Los Angeles or Orange County, and the exact fixed price is shown before you pay.
