Shuttle bus

Coachella LAX shuttle on the way out https://www.valleymusictravel.com/events/coachella/shuttles/

Tuesday on the way back you can try the ride share thread in the side bar, use greyhound (which drops you off in downtown LA so you would need to Uber to LAX) or United have a 6am-ish flight to LAX.

Paid $100 per person the whole weekend. Covered rides there and back. So much better than dealing with the shuttle.

We found our guy through a friend who had used him previous years.

What I've ended up doing is asking my Uber on Friday if he's down to be our driver for the weekend. This year we paid $90 per day divided by 4 people

3 years ago we met an uber driver on day 1, and she has been our driver ever since. we pay her 200 for the weekend. last year she even came across a sunday wristband and partied with us.

This year Friday W2, it was a mess and took her longer than usual to pick us up, which wasnt her fault. But while we were waiting, we kept hearing the private drivers trying to offer people rides. They wanted to charge us 300 for a 4 mile trip. another driver kept insisting other groups and from originally wanting 250$ for the ride, they ended up settling for 70$.

Thinking about doing the same next year!

Paid $125/person for the weekend. We found ours through uber on Thursday and he turned out to have a whole business. CoachellaShuttles on insta, Marcus was great and has a whole system of drivers. We had the same driver all weekend and were able to say when we wanted to be dropped off and picked up at any time.

The shuttle is basically your private driver picking you up anytime and taking you back anytime

the shuttle pass will be just as good.

is the driver a local from indio?

Shuttles get their own lane and a driver would be stuck with normal traffic if I am not mistaken rIght?

Take the shuttle going in and driver going out.

The shuttle service is just so easy and convenient. Personally, I’d go the shuttle route.

drive to a shuttle spot and take the shuttle to the festival. shuttle pass gets you the closest to festival entrance. you will actually want to cut your legs off walking to and from the car every single day while passing the people in the shuttle line. it’s also a great place to meet new people as you wait for the bus :)

Get a shuttle pass or plan on ubering in early

Shuttle- but be aware that there is often a line to get on the shuttle and the ride itself takes about 45 mins

I got two shuttle passes you can have for exactly one beer each.

I’ve found teleportation to be the most convenient.

At the end of the night Ubers are going to be super expensive, and there’s going to be long lines. Last year people were waiting up to 3 hours.

If you drive you’ll have to make sure you have a DD

If it were me I’d shuttle.

The shuttles are really good. They leave frequently, bathrooms, drop you off closer to the fest than you can get to in an Uber, and have some dedicated traffic lanes.

Worth it. Pregame on the shuttle on the way to the fields, sleep on the way back to your hotel. Cheaper than paying for ride-shares for the whole weekend.

Yes, in my opinion they are The Way if your place is within a 20 minute walk of a stop. Waiting for an uber is a total crapshoot and could take 20 minutes or 2 hours, shuttles are dependable, fast, and you might make friends.

reliable. convenient. worth it

The shuttles are awesome. My two biggest complaints with the shuttles are they no longer get you in at gates (they don’t leave for the festival from the shuttle stops until noon now), and the choke point leaving each night crossing the street.

Outside of those issues they’re awesome. The staff are always friendly, the shuttles are generally reliable, and the waits at the end of the night have gone down considerably.

I’ve never done a ride share out of the festival but I’ve heard nothing but horror stories.

We drove before last year and it was miserable. So yes 💯 it's the greatest hack we did last year. we stay at the hotels that have the shuttle direct but you can just Uber to those hotels there's a line at peak times to get on but it's quick in and out.

took the shuttle today there and back and it was incredible! super easy experience no wait in either direction

Make sure to leave early before the headliner ends.. we left after the headliner and waited 1-2 hours to get on the shuttle and the shuttle we got on, we had to stand as they were trying to cram as many people as possible, the line was still very long at 2am. My friends got back to the hotel at 4am, I got lucky and got in at 3am.

Shuttles are the GOAT hack. They get a dedicated exit back onto the road. They are easily the fastest way to get out of the festival.

I’m a local and have been to many Coachella’s- the shuttle is the way to go! Uber lines are horrible leaving. Take the shuttle.

I have Sunday shuttle passes (2x) for $50 :)

You can still get a shuttle pass from the website and pick them up from will call.

My friend has an extra! DM!

same! i’m on the indian wells shuttle and we’ve been stuck in traffic a block away for an hour while other cars pass

We were at the end of the line of shuttles driving in (from Indian Wells) and our driver is now in a different lane, speeding past other shuttles! There might be a solution happening rn.

Really! Which way did you come from? We’re getting about ready to leave. I hear it’s cause the traffic directors haven’t given priority to the shuttles.

Horrible this year. How did they manage to make it so much worse than previous years?

Omg. Right?! I’m taking the shuttle from Indian Wells Tennis Garden… I already missed T-Pain’s set. I’m sooo bummed!
