Pickup
Curbside pickup at LAX with live flight tracking — your chauffeur waits in the cell-phone lot and pulls to your terminal the moment you text. Meet-and-Greet at baggage claim is included free for first-time international clients: your chauffeur holds an iPad sign at the Tom Bradley greeter zone or your terminal's carousel and handles the bags.
Drop-off
Direct drop anywhere in the Coachella Valley — the Parker, La Quinta Resort, Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, JW Marriott Desert Springs, a private rental, or a festival address during Coachella / Stagecoach weekends. The Escalade ESV gives a group plus luggage real room for the desert run, and the cabin stays cool the whole way.
Why Continental for this route
The 10-East desert run is a route we drive constantly — we know when the Banning Pass winds kick up, where the Friday Coachella-weekend backups form, and how to time a departure so a 2 pm landing still beats the worst of it. One flat rate quoted before you book, no per-mile meter, no surprise long-distance surcharge at the door.
LAX to Palm Springs — common questions
How much is a car service from LAX to Palm Springs?
Continental's flat rate from LAX to Palm Springs is about $491 in a private Cadillac Escalade ESV, all-in — chauffeur, flight tracking, curbside or baggage-claim pickup, and bottled water. No surge, no per-mile meter, no surprise desert surcharge. Gratuity is layered on top per a clear tiered schedule shown at checkout. Larger groups or one-way vs round-trip are quoted the same way.
How long is the drive from LAX to Palm Springs?
About 2 hours to 2 hours 20 minutes off-peak via the I-10 East. Friday afternoons, holiday weekends, and Coachella / Stagecoach weekends can stretch it to 2.5–3 hours — we watch live traffic and recommend a departure time when you book.
Do you drive to Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, La Quinta and Indian Wells too?
Yes — the whole Coachella Valley. Same flat-rate model to the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, JW Marriott Desert Springs, La Quinta Resort, Indian Wells, or any private address. Just tell us the destination when you book and we quote it up front.
Can you handle Coachella and Stagecoach weekend transfers?
Yes, and we recommend booking early — festival weekends are our busiest desert dates. We'll time the departure around the known I-10 and festival-area backups so you arrive on schedule.
Can I book a round trip back to LAX?
Absolutely. Many desert clients book the return to LAX at the same time — we hold your details, track your outbound flight, and stage the pickup so you're not waiting. Round trips are quoted the same flat, all-in way.
