Planning your airport ride from Indio
The right plan depends on which airport you use and where in Indio you start. These notes cover the common cases.
Choosing PSP
Palm Springs International is the practical choice for most flights in and out of the Coachella Valley. The route follows Interstate 10 or Highway 111 west, and the run is short compared with the other airports. Uber lists about 23 miles between Indio and Palm Springs, and other sources say about 25, so we call it roughly 25 road miles.
Choosing Ontario
Ontario is about 90 road miles from Indio. Travelers pick it for specific airlines or fares. The trip is long enough that we plan it as a full outing, not a quick transfer.
LAX from the desert
LAX is farther west than Ontario and often the longest transfer. We recommend telling us your flight time, and we suggest a pickup hour that leaves room for the road.
Airport car service in Indio during festival season
When Coachella or Stagecoach is on at the Empire Polo Club on Avenue 51, the City of Indio publishes a plan that limits or closes streets such as Jefferson, Monroe and Avenue 48. If your hotel or home sits near those streets, give us the address early and we plan the approach to the airport around that.
Pickup points
A gated community such as Sun City Shadow Hills or a golf community on the south side needs gate details. A hotel like the Hampton Inn & Suites on Spectrum Street, off I-10 at Monroe, needs only the lobby entrance.
