Dates, venue and distances

Coachella 2027 runs two weekends, April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, at the Empire Polo Club, 81-800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA 92201. From central Los Angeles or LAX the drive is about 130 miles on the I-10, usually two to two and a half hours and longer on festival afternoons. Palm Springs International Airport is 35 to 45 minutes from the grounds; Ontario is about an hour and a half. The fare for any of these is calculated by vehicle and distance and shown before you pay.

How the drop-off and pickup work

The festival sets where cars may stop: a black-car area for services that hold a festival vehicle pass, a public pick-up and drop-off zone, and a separate rideshare lot, with hours and locations it publishes close to the dates. Your chauffeur confirms the drop-off point and the after-show meeting point with you before the day, following the rules in force that weekend. The walk from the car to the gate is set by the festival, not by us, and the pre-arranged pickup avoids the rideshare queue after the headliner.

Same-night return, or a hotel in the valley

A same-night return to Los Angeles after the closing set means a 2:30 to 3:30 am arrival. Many guests book a hotel in Palm Springs, La Quinta, Palm Desert or Indio and have the car held by the hour between the hotel and the polo grounds across the weekend, then return to Los Angeles on Monday. A return booked in the same reservation is discounted at checkout; hourly blocks are priced by the hour.

Choosing the vehicle for a long run

Fares are per vehicle, so a Mercedes Sprinter seating up to 14 is the lowest cost per seat for a group and keeps everyone together; a Cadillac Escalade carries up to six with festival bags; executive and comfort sedans suit one to three. Every vehicle is climate-controlled with water and charging on board for the desert drive. We do not sell tickets, passes or parking; the festival controls entry.

Travel comfortably

Choose for people. Plan for luggage.

Vehicle class, seating and luggage space work together. Confirm the fit when your party has large bags, child seats or extra equipment.

(424) 209-8001
When is Coachella 2027?

Weekend one is April 9 to 11 and weekend two is April 16 to 18, 2027, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Lineup and pass details are published by the festival.

How far is Coachella from LAX?

About 130 miles, usually two to two and a half hours by car in normal traffic and longer on festival afternoons. Palm Springs International Airport is the closest airport at 35 to 45 minutes.

Can I use rideshare instead?

You can; the festival runs a rideshare lot. The trade-off is the queue and the pricing after the headliner. A reserved chauffeur with an agreed pickup point and time removes both, and the fare is fixed when you book.

Where exactly will the car drop us off?

At the point the festival allows for the vehicle on the day: its black-car area for passholding services, otherwise the public pick-up and drop-off zone. Your chauffeur confirms the exact spot with you before the weekend.

How early should I book?

Festival weekends sell out for Sprinters and Escalades weeks ahead. Book as soon as your passes and hotel are set, and add the return in the same reservation.
