Please note, information on FAQs is subject to change
Q: How often will the shuttles run?
A: The exact location and shuttle timing will be provided as we get closer to the festival lineup announcement.
Q: Is the shuttle pass transferable? If I lose it, can I get it reissued?
A: Shuttle passes are not transferable and cannot be reissued if lost. Once you have it in hand, it should be treated as cash, and you must pay to replace it, pending availability.
Q: How far are the hotels/shuttle stops from the festival?
A: Stops range from about 5 to 25 miles away from the Polo Grounds, without traffic. While we have taken many precautions to circumvent festival traffic, we cannot account for area traffic or weather delays. However, we have several routes to and from the grounds that avoid most festival traffic and will get you there and back as quickly as possible every time. Please refer to our website for the most up-to-date list of shuttle stops for each weekend.
Peak shuttle times going to the festival are from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM and peak times leaving the festival are from 12:00 AM – 2:00 AM. If you are riding during these times, you may experience extended wait times. Our number one priority is to get all guests safely to and from their destination.
Q: Will there be restrooms on the shuttles?
A: While we are unable to guarantee restrooms on the shuttles, there will be restrooms as soon as you get off the bus in our shuttle lot.
Q: I have to pick up my shuttle pass at the Coachella Will Call. Where is Will Call located and how do I get there?
A: The festival’s Will Call is located at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The address is 78200 Miles Avenue, Indian Wells, CA 92210. Please click HERE for the hours of operation. Without having your shuttle pass in hand, to get to the Will Call you may need to utilize a rideshare service. Once receiving your shuttle pass at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, you can ride the shuttle to the festival.
Q: How far is the shuttle stop from the festival entrance?
A: It is just about a 10-minute walk from the shuttle lot to the entrance!
Q: Are shuttles wheelchair accessible?
A: Yes, we do have wheelchair accessible shuttles. Please reach out to our Guest Services team at info@valleymusictravel.com or by phone at 1-888-833-1031 with your information and hotel as soon as possible, so we can best accommodate you.
Q: How will I know what shuttle to take at the end of the night?
A: All shuttle lines will be clearly marked with the properties that the specific line is going to. There will also be VMT staff to direct you to the correct loading area. Your shuttle line will be labeled clearly.
Q: How long will the wait be right after the show is over to get back to our hotel?
A: We cannot accurately predict exactly how long it will be, but please be assured that we will work very hard to get the buses out as quickly as possible. Again, it is our goal to keep you satisfied throughout the weekend. We will have our full fleet of vehicles running directly after the show to get you back to your hotel in a timely manner.
Peak shuttle times going to the festival are from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM and peak times leaving the festival are from 12:00 AM – 2:00 AM. If you are riding during these times, you may experience extended wait times. Our number one priority is to get all guests safely to and from their destination.
