Where Shall We Go? Discover Why Drive Time® is the Ultimate Road Trip Companion
When you think of the Coachella Valley—better known as Palm Springs, California—you probably imagine sunshine, swaying palm trees, and old Hollywood glamor. Legends like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra all loved this desert oasis. And, after one unforgettable visit ourselves, we understood why.
Our adventure started the moment we stepped off the plane at the charming Palm Springs airport. It was unlike any airport we had ever seen—open-air terminals, walking directly onto the tarmac under the brilliant sun. And even though it was January, temperatures were hitting the 70’s—perfect convertible weather!
We were ready. We rented a Chrysler Convertible and immediately plugged in our Drive Time Power Fresh® 12V Ergonomic Scent Diffuser—straight from our carry-on luggage. **No liquids, no gels, no mess** just pure, travel-friendly freshness. This time, we selected the Speedway scent bar, a vibrant blend of lemon, lavender, mint, jasmine, rosewood, sandalwood and musk. It brought a fresh, energizing vibe that perfectly matched the spirit of exploration.
Why Drive Time is Perfect for Travel
If you've ever wondered why a 12V car diffuser is better than traditional cardboard air fresheners, here’s the deal:
No distraction: Drive Time diffusers plug discreetly into your 12V outlet—keeping your windshield clear and your focus on the road.
Long-lasting freshness: While cardboard deodorizers fade fast, our fragrance bars can last up to 30 days.
No liquid leaks: TSA-friendly and worry-free—perfect for travel.
Replaceable scents: Easily swap fragrance bars based on your mood or destination!
Whether you're running errands in town or embarking on a desert road trip, Drive Time delivers consistent, background freshness without overpowering your ride.
Fresh Scents for Every Journey
We brought a backup Exotic Teak scent bar too—another calming, anti-stress option perfect for cruising under the desert sun. Even with the top down, our Drive Time diffuser kept the rental car feeling fresh, clean, and inviting.
Exploring Palm Springs and Beyond
After checking into our hotel, we met up with family—and even though they were baking cookies to warm up a "chilly" 50° day, we were loving the sunshine!
Next, we explored Joshua Tree National Park, where the Mojave and Colorado ecosystems collide. If you’ve never visited, it's a must-see: twisted Joshua Trees, wide open desert, and endless skies perfect for stargazing. There's almost no light pollution out there, just pure, dazzling night skies.

Mid-Century Modern Charm and Sweet Treats
Back in Palm Springs, we explored the city’s famous Mid-Century Modern architecture on a self-guided tour. It’s an inspiring blend of indoor-outdoor living and minimalist elegance—so different from the Midwest landscapes we’re used to.
Before wrapping up our trip, we stopped at Hadley Fruit Orchards for their legendary date shake—a decadent blend of Deglet Noor dates, vanilla ice cream, and milk. Trust us, a small size is more than enough. It's a delicious, one-of-a-kind treat you don’t want to miss.
