Coachella runs across two consecutive April weekends and Stagecoach follows on the next weekend, all at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. The 2027 dates are April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18 for Coachella and April 23 to 25 for Stagecoach. Those three weekends are the busiest days of the year for ground transportation in the desert.
The festival publishes transportation guidelines each year, including rideshare and drop-off zones, its own shuttle program from partner hotels, and the rules for private buses, vans and limousines. Some years require a pass or permit for private vehicles. Operators follow the current year's rules, so send your plan as early as possible.
Most groups stay in rental homes or hotels across the valley and book a vehicle for the whole day: a morning or afternoon drop, a set pickup after the headliners, and sometimes a mid-day run. Traffic on Monroe Street, Jefferson Street and Avenue 50 is heavy after the last set, so pickup points are agreed in advance and phones are charged.
Vehicle choice depends on group size. Sprinter vans handle 10 to 14, minibuses 25 to 35 and coaches up to 56. Festival weekends price at the top of each class's range because vehicles come from across Southern California, and they sell out early.
Pricing is all-in with driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls and no separate gratuity line. Book months ahead. Alcohol rules depend on the operator and state law.
