Getting Around Palm Springs

Palm Springs is one of United States's most popular destinations, welcoming millions of visitors through airports like Palm Springs International. While public transport exists, navigating an unfamiliar city with luggage after a flight can be stressful—especially if you don't speak the local language.

Airport Transfer Options

From Palm Springs International, you have several options to reach Palm Springs city center:

  • Private Transfer: Door-to-door service with driver waiting in arrivals. Most comfortable and convenient option.
  • Shared Shuttle: Budget-friendly option with multiple stops. Takes longer but saves money.
  • Airport Taxi: Available on-demand but often more expensive than pre-booked transfers.
  • Public Transport: Cheapest but requires navigation with luggage.

Why Pre-Book?

Pre-booking your Palm Springs transfer guarantees a fixed price, eliminates queue times, and ensures a professional driver knows you're coming. If your flight is delayed, the driver waits—no extra charge for standard delays.

Tips for Palm Springs Visitors

  • Book transfers at least 24 hours in advance for best availability
  • Request child seats if traveling with young children
  • Have your confirmation details saved offline
  • Tip drivers if you received excellent service (not mandatory but appreciated)

Palm Springs Transfer FAQs

How close is Palm Springs Airport to the hotels?
PSP is only 3km from downtown Palm Springs—about 5 minutes by car. It's one of the shortest airport-to-hotel transfers in the US. Indian Wells and La Quinta resorts are 25-30 minutes east along Highway 111.
Can I get a transfer to Coachella Festival from Palm Springs Airport?
Yes—the Empire Polo Club in Indio is about 40km east (30-35 minutes). During Coachella and Stagecoach weekends, pre-booking is essential as rideshare surge pricing can be extreme. A fixed-fare transfer avoids the price spike.
Is there a transfer from Palm Springs to Joshua Tree?
Joshua Tree National Park's west entrance is about 55km north (45 minutes). The town of Joshua Tree is slightly closer. A round-trip transfer with waiting time lets you explore the park without renting a car.
