Shuttles are the most convenient way to arrive at Coachella. These shuttles help you beat the traffic and depart from various hotels and locations throughout Palm Springs, Indio, and more. Shuttles run from 1pm to 8pm daily, and have return service that will run until 60 minutes after the music ends each night. Peak shuttle times heading to the festival are typically 2pm – 5pm, with peak return time being 12am-2am, so expect an extended wait time if you plan to leave during those hours.
