Palm Springs Private Car Service From PSP
Palm Springs International Airport is one of a kind. Its open-air courtyard, palm-lined curbs, and mountain views set the tone for a desert trip the moment you land, and downtown Palm Springs is only about two miles away.
Your driver greets you at the curb and handles the luggage, golf clubs included. The ride is private and non-stop for your party alone, with no shared airport shuttle or hotel van. Two generations of our family run the company, and every driver is trained by our own team.
Built for Festival Season
Coachella and Stagecoach bring huge crowds to the Empire Polo Club in Indio every April. Lock in your ride from PSP well ahead of time so you’re not scrambling for a rideshare when everyone lands at once. We’ll plan pickups and drop-offs around your festival schedule.

Palm Springs Airport (PSP) FAQs
What airlines fly into Palm Springs Airport?
Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is served year-round by major carriers including Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United. In the busy winter and spring season, airlines such as Allegiant, Sun Country, Air Canada, WestJet, and Flair add seasonal routes, including flights from Canada. Routes change by season, so check your airline’s current schedule.
What is the closest airport to Palm Springs?
Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is the closest, about two miles from downtown at 3400 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way. If you can’t find a flight into PSP, Ontario International Airport is about 70 miles west and LAX is roughly 125 miles away by car. Xpress Shuttles drives to the desert from all three. See our LA to Palm Springs transportation.
How do I get from Palm Springs Airport to Coachella?
The Empire Polo Club in Indio, where Coachella and Stagecoach are held, is about 25 miles from Palm Springs International Airport. Rideshare prices often surge on festival weekends, so many travelers book a private ride in advance at a flat rate. Xpress Shuttles can plan your airport pickup and festival drop-offs. See our Indio music festival transportation.
How busy is Palm Springs Airport?
Palm Springs International Airport is busiest from winter through spring, during the desert’s peak season. Modernism Week in February, the BNP Paribas Open in March, and the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals in April bring especially heavy crowds and high demand for rides. Summer is much quieter. Reserve your transportation early for peak-season dates.
Where is the Uber pickup at Palm Springs Airport?
According to the airport, rideshare pickups at Palm Springs International Airport are at the south end of the terminal, in the commercial lane across the street. With Xpress Shuttles, you skip the rideshare line: your private driver meets you curbside, helps with your bags, and you leave at a flat rate you booked in advance.
Is the Palm Springs Airport terminal outdoors?
Partly. Palm Springs International Airport has one terminal, and after security an open-air courtyard connects its two concourses, which gives PSP its relaxed, resort-style feel. Summer afternoons in the desert can be extremely hot, so stay hydrated and leave a little extra time between the courtyard and your gate.
How far is Palm Springs Airport from La Quinta and Indian Wells?
La Quinta is roughly 15 to 20 miles from Palm Springs International Airport, depending on your resort, and Indian Wells is about the same distance. Palm Desert is closer, at about 12 miles. We drive straight from PSP to resorts, golf communities, and vacation rentals throughout the Coachella Valley, with space for your clubs.
