Questions about this ride

How long is the drive from LA to Palm Springs?

LA to Palm Springs is approximately 110 miles via the I-10, about 2 hours. Friday afternoon traffic heading east can extend the drive to 3+ hours — our drivers time departures to avoid peak traffic.

Can the ride continue to Indio for Coachella or Stagecoach?

Yes. Drop-off can be anywhere in the Coachella Valley, including Indio, La Quinta or Palm Desert, about 20–25 miles past Palm Springs. On festival weekends in April, the event sets specific car drop-off areas and traffic routes, so give the one from your ticket information when you book. Expect heavy traffic on the I-10 east on each festival Friday.

Are winds through the San Gorgonio Pass a problem on the drive?

The I-10 through the San Gorgonio Pass near Banning and Cabazon, past the wind farms, is known for strong gusts, especially in spring. On windy days the driver slows down and blowing dust can cut visibility. Check the forecast and allow a little extra time on high-wind days.
