PSP Airport Charter Bus & Group Shuttle — Palm Springs International Airport

Group transportation at PSP

Palm Springs International is a seasonal airport. Traffic climbs from October, peaks from January through April with golf, tennis, conventions and festivals, and drops in the summer heat. Many airlines run seasonal routes only, so groups often arrive across several flights.

The terminal is compact, with a main terminal building and open-air concourses, and the arrivals roadway is short. Charter vehicles use designated commercial positions, and larger groups stage nearby until everyone has bags.

Most groups head to resorts in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta, 10 to 35 minutes away along Highway 111 or I-10. Festival groups head to Indio.

Flights are tracked so delays shift the pickup. Pricing is all-in with driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls, and the trip is e-signed and tracked live.
