Our private hourly chauffeur service takes you from Bal Harbour to Chelsea Handler at Hard Rock Live on Thursday, December 17, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. The comedy show starts at 8:00 PM. The same bilingual driver handles the whole evening, from your Bal Harbour lobby or front door to the drive north and back home.
Rates are set per vehicle and per hour, so the tier you pick sets the price.
Each rate covers the whole vehicle and its chauffeur, not a single seat. A larger group riding together shares one rate among everyone on board. Your total is your vehicle’s hourly rate multiplied by the hours you keep it. Dinner in Bal Harbour, the drive north, the show itself and the ride home all run on the same clock, and nothing is billed per leg or per stop. Choosing a tier comes down to headcount first and the feel of the evening second. Show tickets, dinner and drinks are separate. The rate pays only for the car, the chauffeur and your time on the road.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are already included in the hourly rate.
That covers gas for the run north and back, the toll on the causeway or highway, and any parking fees the vehicle picks up during your booking. That holds whether the evening starts with an hour at Bal Harbour Shops or a dinner table in Surfside. The only charge that can be added on top of your hours is the night surcharge, which has its own section below. With an evening show, the ride home will usually fall into that window. There is room in the car for coats, a wrapped birthday gift or a few shopping bags from the afternoon. Tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big.
You reserve one vehicle and chauffeur by the hour, starting at your first pickup.
First, select the tier that fits your group. Then share your plan: where to pick everyone up, whether dinner comes first, and roughly when you want to leave. Pickups work from any Miami address: a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal (a cruise-day arrival can head straight to the show), Miami International Airport or a home. For this evening, that means any address in Bal Harbour, with the exact spot agreed at booking. The same driver stays with you for the entire block, from the first pickup to the last drop-off. Once the five-hour block is used, each additional hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate, with no new fare to negotiate. If the group wants a nightcap at the resort or a late bite on the way back, you just keep the car. Those added hours are settled after the night ends.
A reserved car and chauffeur offer your group a better experience than driving yourselves.
The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so the conversation, the playlist and the pre-show toast stay among friends. Your rate is flat and locked at booking. It doesn’t surge on a busy holiday-season Thursday or change when traffic slows the drive. One chauffeur stays assigned to you for the whole block, so you have one name, one number and a direct WhatsApp line instead of a new driver at every leg. The driver is bilingual, which helps with visiting relatives or a mixed group of friends. Nobody circles a casino-resort lot looking for a space, and nobody walks a long way back to the car once the room empties. That is the premium service we focus on: the same calm, clean vehicle and the same attentive driver from your Bal Harbour lobby until you’re home.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips outside that window carry a night surcharge set by vehicle type.
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. For SUV bookings it is a single fixed amount per trip. For Sprinter groups it is a percentage of the trip value, so it stays proportional for larger parties. Dinner and the drive north usually fall inside daytime hours, and the surcharge is listed here so you know the full cost of the evening before you confirm.
Paying for show night comes down to three simple points.
Four private tiers cover every group size, from a couple’s date night to a full birthday crew.
Every tier is private, so no seat is ever sold to another party, and each vehicle comes with its own chauffeur. A comedy night tends to be social. Groups that want the conversation to carry from dinner to the theater usually prefer one larger vehicle over splitting into two SUVs. If your headcount changes before December 17, message us and we’ll check which tier fits.
Your chauffeur drives the group north from Bal Harbour to Hollywood, Florida.
The show takes place at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, a large casino resort in Broward County. It is home to Hard Rock Live, a large theater-style hall that hosts touring comedians and headline concerts. The run north is typically a manageable evening drive. But December 17 is a Thursday in the middle of the holiday season, when commuters, shoppers and casino guests share the same roads. Allow a generous cushion instead of timing the trip to the minute. Your chauffeur checks traffic before departure and picks the clearer route on the night. Because the vehicle is yours by the hour, a slow stretch on the interstate doesn’t change the plan. The group sits back, the driver handles the traffic, and the evening adjusts around it.
Two routes cover most nights. One heads west on 96th Street through Bay Harbor Islands, over the Broad Causeway and across North Miami to I-95 northbound. The other follows Collins Avenue north through Sunny Isles Beach, then cuts west to the interstate on a major cross street such as Hallandale Beach Boulevard. Near Hollywood, the driver leaves I-95 and heads west toward State Road 7, where the resort stands.
The venue is in Hollywood, in Broward County, on the grounds of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. It is not inside Miami’s city limits, even though it is often listed among Miami-area shows. From Bal Harbour, that means a drive north rather than south toward downtown, which makes it easy to have dinner close to home before heading up.
Your driver picks you up at any address in Bal Harbour you select.
The exact spot is agreed when you book. Many show-night pickups happen at a hotel entrance along Collins Avenue, such as the lobby drives at The St. Regis Bal Harbour and The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, or at one of the oceanfront condominium towers on the same stretch. Guests staying next door at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside, or across the bridge in Bay Harbor Islands, are just as easy to pick up. Once the car is in place, the chauffeur messages you on WhatsApp so you can come down when the group is ready. If friends are spread across two or three buildings, list every address when you book. The driver will pick everyone up before heading north, so the whole group starts the evening in the same vehicle.
Yes, a private home or condo works just like a hotel. Bal Harbour’s residential streets west of Collins Avenue sit behind a staffed security entrance, and many towers have a front desk. Share the building name and your guests’ names at booking so the driver is cleared quickly and pulls up exactly where you’d like.
Yes. Some groups spend the late afternoon at Bal Harbour Shops and meet the car there instead of returning to the hotel. Agree on an easy-to-find meeting point with the driver in advance. Your hours begin at that pickup, so the afternoon of shopping only counts toward the booking if you want the car for that too.
Bal Harbour Shops and neighboring Surfside offer polished pre-show dinner choices.
Inside Bal Harbour Shops, Makoto serves refined Japanese cooking and sushi, and Carpaccio has long been a lively Italian favorite for shoppers who stay into the evening. A short hop south, Le Sirenuse Miami at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club brings Amalfi Coast flavors to a glamorous room that suits a celebration. For a lighter start, the hotel bars along Collins Avenue work well for a quick cocktail while the rest of the group gathers. Your chauffeur stays close while you eat and pulls up when the check is settled, so nobody has to wait for valet or look for a ride. We don’t book tables, so reserve directly with the restaurant. Share the restaurant and time when you confirm the car, and we’ll plan the evening’s timing around it.
Yes, dinner and the show fit inside one hourly booking. The clock starts at your Bal Harbour pickup. The chauffeur stays nearby through dinner, drives the group north for the show, and takes everyone home afterward. It is one car, one driver and one rate. Just share your reservation time so we can plan the departure around it.
Both work. Eating in Bal Harbour keeps dinner close to home and lets the group dress up for a favorite local spot before the drive north. Dining at the resort puts you steps from the hall, which suits groups that would rather arrive early and relax. Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is its well-known steakhouse.
Show night is simple: leave early, get dropped off close, and ride home together.
The 8:00 PM start on December 17 sets the timeline, and you plan everything else back from it. A casino resort on a headline night draws traffic from every direction. Build in time for the approach roads, the resort’s drop-off lanes and an unhurried walk through the property to the hall. Once you’re inside, your chauffeur moves the vehicle to wherever the resort lets drivers wait and stays reachable on WhatsApp for the entire show. When the room empties, message the driver and meet at the spot you agreed on earlier. Then head south toward Bal Harbour with no line to stand in. Anything you’d rather not carry into the hall can stay in the car all evening, which makes the walk in lighter and the exit quicker.
Leave well ahead of the 8:00 PM start, earlier than the drive alone seems to need. A Thursday evening in mid-December brings rush hour, holiday shoppers and a large crowd arriving at once. You’ll also want time for the walk inside after drop-off. Groups dining at the resort should leave earlier still. Your chauffeur will suggest a departure time when you confirm.
The driver drops you as close to the venue as access allows, at the drop-off point the resort sets for show nights. From there, the group walks through the property to the hall’s entrance together. Resort staff direct traffic on busy evenings, and your chauffeur follows their lead so everyone gets out calmly and in one place.
Yes, and that’s the main reason to book by the hour. Your chauffeur waits nearby for the full show and keeps the vehicle ready. They are one WhatsApp message away if someone needs to leave early or get something from the car. When the show ends, there’s nothing to re-book and no new driver to find.
Message the driver on WhatsApp as the set wraps up, then walk to the pickup point you agreed on before going in. A big theater crowd leaves all at once. Settling the meeting spot in advance keeps the exit smooth and gets the group heading back toward Bal Harbour quickly.
Chelsea Handler draws a social, celebratory crowd that suits a private car.
Fans know her from years of late-night television, several Netflix stand-up specials and bestselling books. Her material is sharp, candid and unapologetically adult: dating, therapy, single life, aging, cannabis and politics all come up. Her High and Mighty Tour stop is a seated, theater-style show inside a casino resort, which makes it a full night out. Expect girlfriends celebrating a birthday, couples on a date night and coworkers marking the end of the year before the holidays. Many groups plan more than the show itself, starting with cocktails in Bal Harbour and finishing with one more drink at the resort. With a chauffeur, the group arrives together and leaves together, and nobody has to call it an early night to drive. A night like this goes better when nobody has to think about getting there and back.
Our hourly chauffeurs stay around the local Miami area, close by and on call.
Bookings cover Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana and the area around Miami International Airport. They also cover Bal Harbour and its neighboring beach towns. The service reaches north toward Fort Lauderdale too, which is how a show night in Hollywood fits into an hourly booking. We don’t run this hourly service out to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando or West Palm Beach. Because the cars stay around the city, your chauffeur knows the neighborhoods, the shortcuts and the late-night traffic on the roads you’re actually using. For this evening, that local knowledge shows in small ways: your driver knows the Collins Avenue hotel entrances, the causeway options and how a busy resort night usually goes.
Yes. Send your plan on WhatsApp, and we’ll confirm everything for December 17.
Bookings go fastest when you include four details: how many people are riding, the Bal Harbour address or meeting point, whether dinner comes first and where, and roughly when you’d like to start. From there we match the tier, confirm the block of hours and reserve the evening once your payment is in. December 17 falls in the busiest stretch of the holiday season, so booking early gives you the widest choice of vehicles. That matters most for a Sprinter, since larger celebrations tend to want one on the same nights. You can send questions about stops, timing or the car to the same WhatsApp thread right up to the evening, so one conversation covers everything from the first message to the ride home. The answers below cover what Bal Harbour riders most often ask before they confirm.
Yes, if you mean a private van reserved only for your group. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter picks everyone up in Bal Harbour, rides north with the group, stays with you all evening and brings everyone home. No seats are sold to strangers, and there’s no fixed timetable. You set the schedule.
Yes. You set the stops, so picking up a friend in Sunny Isles Beach or stopping at Aventura Mall for a last-minute gift fits easily into the evening. Each stop simply uses part of your booked hours, with no per-stop charge. Mention the addresses when you book so we can plan the departure from Bal Harbour around them.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Short-notice bookings are welcome. Once the day and time are agreed for a service within the next 24 hours, the slot is locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. On that short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, so the booking goes ahead as agreed. You can always add more hours on the night itself.
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.
