Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Bal Harbour to Buena Vista Social Club at Adrienne Arsht Center on October 1, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, locked at booking, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver picks you up at any address in Bal Harbour, drops you off close to the entrance before the 7:30 PM curtain, and drives everyone home after the show.
Each vehicle tier has one hourly rate, and every booking runs at least five hours.
The rate is set by the vehicle, not by how many people ride. Choose the tier that seats everyone, and the whole group rides for one hourly price. Chauffeur time runs from the moment you are picked up in Bal Harbour until the final drop-off at home. A typical show night usually fits inside the booked block: dinner neighboring, the ride south, the performance, and the ride back. This list is the full price structure for chauffeur time. Only two other items can appear on the bill: the evening surcharge and any hours you choose to add. Both are explained further down, so you know the total before the night begins.
A reserved chauffeur turns show night into one seamless, private evening for your group.
Your group gets its own vehicle for the whole booking. It is never shared and never swapped, and the same bilingual chauffeur stays with you from the first pickup to the last drop-off. The hourly rate is flat and locked when you book. A busy Thursday on Biscayne Boulevard or an opening-season crowd never changes what you pay, and there is no surge pricing when the audience leaves. You message your driver directly on WhatsApp, so a changed dinner reservation or a slow exit from the theater is easy to handle as it happens. Nobody in the group has to drive, look for parking, or plan the ride home around a late finish. Every booking is built around that premium service: a calm, personal, better experience that belongs to your group alone, from Collins Avenue to the final bow and back.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are included in the hourly rate for the whole booking.
That covers the causeway tolls on the way from Bal Harbour, the fuel for every stop around town, and parking for the car while the performance runs. A short comfort stop for a restroom, a snack, or a stretch is easy to fit in. Just ask, and the rate stays the same. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Only two things can add to the bill. The night fee depends only on the pickup time: for pickups between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM the SUV adds $50 (vans +10% of the hourly total), once per booking. The second is any extra time you keep the car, billed at your vehicle’s same hourly rate.
Paying for the evening is simple: the full fare is paid up front, and any extra hours are settled afterward.
Service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM has no surcharge, and later hours add the amount below.
Only the part of the evening before 6:00 PM falls inside daytime hours. Knowing this ahead of time means nothing unexpected appears in your total. The hourly rate itself does not go up after dark. The vehicle, the chauffeur, and everything included in the booking stay exactly the same from the first mile to the last. If the evening runs later than planned, the same simple structure applies, with no new fees or conditions.
Four private vehicle tiers cover everything from a couple to a large party.
Every tier is private and comes with its own chauffeur, and nobody outside your group ever rides along. The Platinum SUV suits an anniversary or a client evening where the car is part of the occasion. If anyone is bringing something bulky for the night, tell us in advance so we can plan the space.
Buena Vista Social Club is the Tony- and Grammy-winning Broadway musical now touring to Miami.
The musical tells the story behind the celebrated Cuban album that brought a group of veteran Havana musicians to worldwide fame, and a live Afro-Cuban band performs on stage. The show has close Miami ties: the book is by Hialeah-raised playwright Marco Ramirez, and the choreography is by Miami native Patricia Delgado. The production opens the Broadway in Miami season with a limited run in the Ziff Ballet Opera House, the largest hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center. This page is built around the Buena Vista Social Club performance on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 7:30 PM. Expect a mixed crowd: Broadway subscribers, music lovers who wore out the original record, and Cuban American families with grandparents and grandkids in the same row. That is why so numerous groups desire to reach together, relaxed, and on time.
Yes. During the run, the Arsht hosts Rhythm & Roots, a free celebration of Cuban music and culture. You can build an earlier arrival into your booking to enjoy it. Check the Arsht’s schedule for what is happening that evening, then set your pickup time around it so the group isn’t rushing to the show afterward.
No. The running time listed with your tickets helps you choose a sensible block, but it does not have to be exact. Plan for dinner, the ride down, and the performance. If the night runs longer than expected, just keep the car. Your chauffeur adjusts on the spot and nothing has to be rebooked.
Your chauffeur drives south from Bal Harbour along the coast, then crosses the bay to Biscayne Boulevard.
The usual route runs down Collins Avenue through Surfside and Miami Beach. From there, the driver heads west over the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur Causeway, depending on traffic that evening. If the beach side is backed up, the driver can take the Broad Causeway west from Bay Harbor Islands to Biscayne Boulevard instead, then follow the boulevard south to the performing arts district. Either way, it is typically a scenic, straightforward drive down the coast and across the water. On a Thursday evening before a 7:30 PM curtain, though, the drive overlaps the weeknight rush, so allow a generous cushion rather than cutting it close. Your chauffeur watches traffic in real time and adjusts the route as you go. Causeway tolls are already covered, so the choice of route is only about getting you there comfortably.
Leave Bal Harbour early enough to be in your seats well before the 7:30 PM curtain.
The easiest way to plan is to work backward from curtain time. Picking up tickets, a restroom stop, and finding seats in a large opera house all take time, and an opening-season crowd makes the lobby busier than on a usual weeknight. Add the drive down the coast during the weeknight rush, then leave a real cushion on top of that. Most groups schedule the pickup for late afternoon and have dinner first. That leaves plenty of time at the table, so nobody is watching the clock over dessert. If you desire a drink in the lobby or time for the Rhythm & Roots programming, move the pickup earlier still. Share your dinner plans when you book, and your chauffeur will suggest a departure time. Since the car is reserved by the hour, starting early is consistently better than hurrying to your seats.
Your chauffeur pulls up as close to the Ziff Ballet Opera House entrance on Biscayne Boulevard as event-night access allows. The group steps out and walks straight in. If access changes on a busy night, your driver adapts on the spot and tells you exactly where to meet after the show.
Yes. Waiting is the reason to book by the hour. Your chauffeur stays nearby with the vehicle for the entire performance and keeps an eye on WhatsApp. As the audience starts to leave, the driver heads back toward the drop-off point, so your ride home to Bal Harbour starts right after the final bow.
No. With a chauffeur, nobody in your group has to deal with a garage ticket or circle the streets around the venue looking for a spot. Your driver takes care of the car while you are inside, so all you need to bring into the theater is your ticket and your group.
Bal Harbour Shops and the region’s resort hotels make an easy pre-show dinner stop.
Bal Harbour Shops is the obvious starting point. Carpaccio has long been a local favorite for Italian food, and Makoto serves Japanese cuisine in the same open-air center. A group can shop a little, eat well, and meet the car just outside. Guests staying at The St. Regis Bal Harbour or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour can keep it even simpler: have dinner at the hotel, then get picked up at the lobby door. For a more casual meal, Surfside’s restaurant strip on Harding Avenue is just south along the coast, right on the way to the causeways. You make the dinner reservations, and we provide the car and the chauffeur. Your driver waits outside while you finish dessert, then takes the group south when you are ready.
Yes, and it is the most popular way to use the hours. One booking covers everything with the same car and chauffeur: the pickup, dinner in Bal Harbour or anywhere on the way, the ride to the theater, the wait through the performance, and the drive home. Share your reservation time and your driver will plan the evening around it.
Plenty of groups keep the night going before riding back to Bal Harbour.
A show built on Cuban music tends to leave people wanting more of it, and Little Havana is the natural next stop. The neighborhood’s music, cafés, and well-known Cuban restaurants such as Versailles keep the mood of the performance going. For a sleeker nightcap, Brickell’s rooftop bars are close to the theater district. Wynwood suits a group that wants street art and a lively crowd. Because your chauffeur stays with you, a detour like this is just another stop. Nobody has to call a ride, split a second car, or worry about who is driving back over the causeway. When the group is ready, the car heads north to Bal Harbour and drops each person off where they need to be. Share the plan in advance so your driver can suggest the top order, and account for the extra time when you choose your block.
You reserve a vehicle and chauffeur for a block of hours and choose every stop.
Start by choosing the tier that seats your whole group, then tell us the pickup time and the stops you have in mind. The driver can pick you up at any Miami address: a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal (a cruise-day arrival can go straight to the event), Miami International Airport, or a home. The exact pickup spot is agreed when you book. After that, the same chauffeur and vehicle stay with you for the full five-hour block and follow your plan rather than a fixed route. You can linger over dinner, add a stop, or skip one. Once the first five hours are used, every extra hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate. You can keep the car for as long as the night lasts without renegotiating anything, and the extra time is settled after the day.
You can be picked up at any address in Bal Harbour. That includes the front drive of The St. Regis or The Ritz-Carlton, the lobby of an oceanfront condominium on Collins Avenue, a private residence in the village, or the entrance to Bal Harbour Shops after an afternoon of shopping. Share the address when you book.
Yes. Our private hourly chauffeur service is built for exactly this ride and this night.
Bal Harbour sits near the northern tip of Miami’s barrier island. Without your own car, getting to the theater district can mean arranging separate rides there and back, or asking someone in the group to skip drinks and drive. A private booking solves both problems. You reserve one vehicle sized to your group and share your hotel or home address. The rest of the evening follows your plan, whether that means dinner at Bal Harbour Shops, an early look at Rhythm & Roots, or a nightcap afterward. The questions below cover what people most often ask before booking a performance: short notice, where the service goes, other nights of the run, and larger groups. Every answer reflects exactly how the service works.
Yes. This page centers on the October 1 performance, but the same private hourly service works for any other date in the show’s Miami run. Send us the date, the curtain time on your tickets, your group size, and your Bal Harbour pickup address, and we will confirm availability for your vehicle tier.
Yes, if a driver and vehicle are available. Once a booking within the final 24 hours is confirmed, that date and time are locked in and held just for you. A driver and vehicle are already set aside, so a date change or refund can’t be guaranteed at that point. You can always add more hours on the day.
Yes. This is a local, on-call service that stays around the city: Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, and the Miami International Airport area, plus nearby areas up toward Fort Lauderdale. Farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach are not part of the hourly service.
Yes. Our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter tiers keep a big birthday table or family outing in one vehicle, so everyone arrives together and leaves together. Share your final headcount when you book, and we match the Sprinter size to your party. If the numbers change before the night, message us on WhatsApp and we will adjust the booking.
Reserving one premium service by the hour is a different thing from opening an app every time you move. You hold a single vehicle and a single bilingual chauffeur for the whole block, the price is fixed before you start, and the car simply waits while you eat, shop, or take photos — no re-requesting, no surge, no stranger learning where you are headed each time.
| By the hour with us | App rides (Uber / Lyft) |
|---|---|
| One flat hourly rate, locked before you start | A fresh fare every ride, surging 1.5×–4× at peak |
| The same vehicle and driver stay with you all day | A different car and a stranger at every pickup |
| Your driver waits between each stop — nothing to re-book | Re-request and wait at the curb after each stop |
| A vetted, professional bilingual chauffeur | Whoever happens to accept the ping |
Across a full day of stops, one reserved chauffeur usually lands below a string of Uber Black or Lyft Lux surges — and it stays a calmer, more premium service from the first pickup to the last drop-off.

Yes. Send us a WhatsApp message and we will confirm the booking directly.
Feature your group size, your pickup address in Bal Harbour, a rough start time, and the stops you have in mind. That might be dinner, Rhythm & Roots, the theater, and anywhere you desire to go afterward. We reply with availability for your vehicle tier, confirm the details, and send payment options for the fare that reserves your date. From pickup to the last drop-off, the chauffeur and the vehicle are yours, and the evening runs at your pace. Opening week of a new Broadway season is a busy time across the city, so contacting us early keeps the most vehicle options open for Buena Vista Social Club at Adrienne Arsht Center. Reach us by email or WhatsApp below and we will take it from there.

If you prefer the driver to wait inside the terminal with a sign bearing your name, add the Meet & Greet for US$ 40 when you book — available for airport pickups only.
The day before your trip, we’ll send you a message with the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate, along with detailed instructions for curbside pickup.
Don’t worry. We’ll send you a message as soon as your flight lands. If we don’t receive a quick reply, the driver will automatically head to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll find you.

Two hours is the free wait for international flights. When your free waiting time ends, extra waiting is not automatic: your driver may text you an offer to keep waiting, but is not required to. If the offer is sent, the driver waits up to 10 minutes for your reply; if you don’t accept in that time, the driver may leave. If no offer is sent, the driver may leave once your free waiting time is over.
Yes. Our drivers help load and unload your bags.
The standard allowance includes one large suitcase and one carry-on per person.

No hidden fees: the quoted price includes the driver, fuel and tolls. Only optional extras add to it — the night-hours fee shown in your quote before you book, the optional Meet & Greet at Miami International Airport and the 4% processing fee on card payments made through the payment link. Driver gratuity is optional and at your discretion; it’s always welcome.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
Note: any refund claim — including a driver no-show or another service issue — must reach us within 30 days of your scheduled pickup. Requests made more than a month after the ride date are no longer eligible for review or refund.
