Pickup
Pickup is curbside at LAX, with live flight tracking. Your chauffeur meets you at the numbered pillar on the arrivals level as soon as you text. Meet & Greet at baggage claim is available as an add-on: your chauffeur holds an iPad sign at the Tom Bradley greeting area or your terminal's carousel and handles your bags.
Drop-off
We drop off anywhere in the Coachella Valley, including the Parker, La Quinta Resort, the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, the JW Marriott Desert Springs, a private rental or a festival address during Coachella and Stagecoach weekends. The Escalade ESV has real room for a group and their luggage, and the cabin stays cool the whole way.
Why Continental for this route
We drive the eastbound 10 to the desert often. We know when the winds pick up through the Banning Pass, where the Friday backups form on Coachella weekends, and how to time the drive so a 2 pm landing still beats the worst traffic. You get one flat rate before you book, with no per-mile meter and no long-distance charge added at the door.
