9 years ago. The best time of day to drive LA to Palm Springs on a weekday, is about 11AM. No later than noon or 1PM. Certainly no later than 1PM. I do this drive bi-monthly. I would get at least an hour away from LAX before considering to stop for lunch/something to eat.
This is the route we take monthly and took earlier this week at 10 am into Palm Springs area from LAX. It takes about two hours on a weekday morning. The van rental place will give you directions to the 105 freeway, a few blocks away from LAX. Take the carpool lane on the 105 E, the 605 N, the 60 E until it merges into the 10 E.

If you left palm Springs at 6:30, you might be there by 10:30. Traffic really starts to load up around 6:45. You want to be away from the 10 or 60 freeway by then.
1. Re: Driving LAX to Palm Springs. If you are arriving here on Wednesday, you are facing traffic on a totally epic level. If you truly get out of LAX by 9am, you should be relatively okay. But, by noon, you better be prepared for lots of sitting and waiting. Yes, it's about a 2-2.5 hour drive, with no traffic.
The routes that involve some surface street driving while still being reasonably fast still involve a great deal of freeway / highway driving in LA - for instance, you can take I-10 all the way from Palm Springs into the west side of LA, exit at La Cienega Blvd., head South on La Cienega to Century Blvd., and then west on Century Blvd. to LAX.
