April 10, 2019 / Palm Springs

During Stagecoach, the desert oasis kicks it up a notch. With headliners that will make your head spin to the after parties, the last thing you want to worry about is how to get from point A to B. As the Official Rideshare Partner of Stagecoach, Uber is here to get you where you need to go. Plus, Uber Rewards members get a special perk when they head to Stagecoach with Uber.
Getting to and from Stagecoach
When you’re ready to head to the festival, a ride is just a few taps away. Simply enter Stagecoach as your destination and your driver will take you to the Uber Zone near the festival gates.
There is an $8.00 surcharge for Uber dropoffs to the festival. There is a $22.50 surcharge for Uber pickups at the festival. This surcharge helps ensure a reliable experience at Stagecoach.

Wait times at Stagecoach
Due to extremely high demand when the festival ends each night, wait times can exceed 60 minutes between 11pm and 1am. We recommend that you plan accordingly to beat the lines and avoid higher wait times.
Tips for a shorter wait time

Check UberXL, UberBlack, and UberBlack SUV to see if wait times are shorter

Make friends with others and set multiple destinations—the more people in each car, the quicker the line goes

While you’re with those friends, use fare split so no one gets stuck footing the whole bill
Pro tips for a better experience in the desert area

Share your location with your driver. Riders can show their exact location to their drivers by turning on Live Location Sharing. Location sharing is only available during the pickup experience.

Share your trip with your crew. You can now share your location and trip status with friends and family, all right from the app.

Chat in-app. Contact your driver directly through the Uber app for a seamless pickup.

Use Spotlight. Sometimes when you’re in a crowded area or it’s nighttime, it may be more difficult for your driver to find you. With Spotlight, you can light up your phone with a special color specific to your driver.

Get in the right car (and other safety tips). Before you get in the car, check that the license plate, driver photo, and driver name all match what’s listed in the app.
