Vehicles for This Route

Why people book it: LAX is the international gateway for the valley, and the drive is the worst part of the trip. Our chauffeurs do it daily, know the I-10 patterns through Riverside and Banning, and plan the departure around your landing time, not a shuttle timetable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the drive from LAX to Palm Springs?

About 110 miles; 2½ hours in light traffic, closer to 3 on weekday afternoons and Friday evenings. Your chauffeur plans around the time of day.

Where does the driver meet me at LAX?

At baggage claim in your terminal with a name sign, or at the LAX-it curbside pickup if you prefer; either way the vehicle is at the terminal, not a remote lot.

Is it cheaper than a rental car for a weekend?

For two or more people it is usually close once you count the LAX rental fees, gas, and the parking at the resort, and nobody drives. Ask for the round-trip rate.

Yes. Any Los Angeles, Orange County or Inland Empire address; the rate is quoted by route.

Do you run Palm Springs to LAX for departures?

Yes, with the pickup time set from your flight and LAX's security times; early-morning departures are routine.
