Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Bal Harbour to Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls at Kaseya Center on Monday, December 21, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver picks you up at any address in Bal Harbour, drops you near the arena before the 7:30 PM tip-off, and waits for the final buzzer.
You pay per vehicle, per hour, so the price covers the car and chauffeur rather than each seat.
Every booking has a five-hour minimum, which fits a Heat game night well: pickup in Bal Harbour, the drive to Downtown Miami, the full game, and the ride home. Choose the tier by headcount first, then by feel. The Black SUV XL suits a couple or a small family. The two Sprinter sizes keep a larger group of friends or a company outing in one vehicle. The Platinum SUV brings a more upscale cabin for a client night or a birthday. The price is for the vehicle, so a full SUV costs the same as a half-empty one, and splitting the evening among friends is simple.
You pay the full fare when you book, by card or Apple Pay through the secure checkout on the site, or a Stripe payment link.
Daytime service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM has no surcharge. Trips outside those hours add the charge listed below for your vehicle type.
Tip-off is at 7:30 PM, so the ride home from Heat vs. 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. Plan for the surcharge from the start. On an SUV booking it is one fixed charge per journey, not a charge that repeats every hour. On either Sprinter size it is a percentage of the journey value, so it grows with the booking. The surcharge is listed right here on the page, so you can work out the cost of the whole evening before game day. If your group likes an unhurried start, such as an early dinner in Bal Harbour and then a relaxed drive south, you can plan your hours around the daytime cutoff.
Bal Harbour fans book us because one private car and one chauffeur make a Downtown game night simple from start to finish.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone. There are no strangers, no shared seats, and no switching cars partway through the evening. Your bilingual chauffeur is useful when a group mixes visiting relatives and local friends. The flat hourly rate is locked when you book, and there is no surge when a whole arena empties onto Biscayne Boulevard at once and demand spikes. One driver covers the full block, so the person who meets you in the lobby is the same person who brings you home. You message that driver directly on WhatsApp, not a call center, so small changes like a later dinner or an extra stop are quick to sort out. That is our idea of premium service: fewer moving parts, fewer decisions on a crowded night, and a better experience from pickup to drop-off.
We have four private vehicle tiers, from date night to an office outing, and each one comes with its own chauffeur.
The Platinum SUV models listed above show the class of vehicle, not a promise of one specific make. There is room for what fans usually bring, such as signs, a new jersey or two, or a bag of merch. If you’re bringing something big, tell us in advance.
Count everyone who will ride, including kids and anyone joining only for dinner, and book the Sprinter size that covers that number with a seat to spare. If your count falls right between the two sizes, choose the larger van. The ride stays comfortable and your whole group still travels together in one private cabin.
The Miami Heat host the Chicago Bulls on Monday, December 21, 2026, with tip-off at 7:30 PM.
This is a regular-season NBA game between two Eastern Conference teams at Kaseya Center, the Heat’s home arena on Biscayne Boulevard by the bay in Downtown Miami. Heat vs. Bulls has a bit of extra edge because the two teams have met in memorable playoff series that longtime fans on both sides still talk about. Chicago fans travel well, so expect a good number of Bulls fans in red, including Chicago transplants and winter visitors who planned their Florida journey around the holidays. The game falls on the Monday before Christmas, so it fits into a festive Miami evening, with Downtown decorated for the season and plenty of Bal Harbour’s seasonal residents and hotel guests making a night of it. For a group based at the north end of Miami Beach, that means a lively arena night and a good reason to let someone else drive.
Your chauffeur drives south from Bal Harbour into Downtown Miami and picks the route based on live traffic that evening.
Traffic is the biggest unknown on game night. On a Monday evening before Christmas, commuters, holiday shoppers heading to Bayside, and an arena’s worth of fans all reach Biscayne Boulevard in the same window before tip-off. Your driver watches conditions from the moment you leave and adjusts the route, so your group can talk, snack, and follow the pre-game coverage instead of watching brake lights. The drive typically takes noticeably longer than it would at a quiet hour, so the best plan builds in extra time rather than aiming for an exact arrival. Once you arrive, the rest is simple: you’re dropped off close to the arena, your chauffeur stays nearby with the car, and the car is ready when you walk out. The questions below cover the route, the timing, the drop-off, and the ride back.
On most evenings the route runs south on Collins Avenue through Surfside and Miami Beach, then west across the Julia Tuttle Causeway or the MacArthur Causeway into Downtown. If the beach side is backed up, your driver can go west over the Broad Causeway instead and take Biscayne Boulevard or I-95 south. The driver chooses on the night based on live traffic.
Leave plenty of extra time, since most groups plan to reach Downtown well before the 7:30 PM tip-off. Leaving Bal Harbour in the late afternoon typically covers heavy weekday traffic, the line at the entrance, and an easy walk to your seats. If you want dinner first, leave earlier, and your driver will plan the timing around it.
Your chauffeur drops the group on the Biscayne Boulevard side, as close to the venue as access allows. Police traffic control changes on game nights, so the exact spot can move. From there you walk to the entrance. Before you get out, your driver confirms on WhatsApp where you’re being dropped off and where you’ll meet after the game.
Yes. Waiting is the main reason to book by the hour. While you watch the game, your driver stays nearby with the vehicle, and parking is already included in the rate. Send a WhatsApp message when you’re heading out, and the same car meets you at the agreed pickup spot for the ride back to Bal Harbour or wherever you go next.
You choose the pickup address anywhere in Bal Harbour, and we agree on the exact entrance when you book.
Hotel guests usually meet their chauffeur at the main entrance of The St. Regis Bal Harbour or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour. Residents of the oceanfront towers along Collins Avenue can be picked up at their building’s lobby. Pickups next door in Surfside or across the water in Bay Harbor Islands work just as easily. If your group spends the afternoon at Bal Harbour Shops, your driver can pick you up there when you’re done shopping. Tell us the building name, which entrance you prefer, and a contact number for the lead guest, and your driver’s arrival is scheduled for the agreed time. You set the stops, so the car can also make two quick pickups in Bal Harbour before heading south, for example one at a hotel and one at a friend’s home. That way everyone rides to the arena together.
Bal Harbour Shops is an easy pre-game base for dinner, drinks, and some holiday browsing before the drive downtown.
Many Bal Harbour groups meet at this open-air shopping center on Collins Avenue before a night out, and in December its gardens are decorated for the holidays. For dinner, Carpaccio is a longtime Italian favorite for families and groups, Makoto serves Japanese dishes and sushi, and Le Zoo has the feel of a Parisian brasserie. Just over the line in Surfside, the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is home to Le Sirenuse, a polished choice for a celebration dinner. Because the car is booked by the hour, your chauffeur waits while you eat and pulls up when the check is paid, so there’s no valet ticket and no rushing through dessert. Book your own table, since we provide the car and driver rather than restaurant reservations. Then tell your chauffeur the reservation time so the drive south fits around it.
Bayside Marketplace is right beside the arena on the bay, which makes it an easy stop for a waterfront drink or a quick bite before the game. Brickell, just south of Downtown, has rooftop bars and restaurants for groups that want a full pre-game dinner. Your driver moves you between stops and handles the curb, so nobody has to look for parking.
Many groups keep the night going with a late dinner in Brickell, or head to Wynwood for murals and a nightcap before the ride north. Others go straight back to their Bal Harbour hotel or home. Either way, the same car takes you, and if the evening runs longer than planned, you simply keep it.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are included in the hourly rate, so the game-night bill is based on your hours.
This matters most Downtown on an NBA night, when garages near the arena fill early and exit lines back up after the final buzzer. Parking the vehicle is your chauffeur’s job, and the cost is already in the rate. So are any causeway tolls on your driver’s route and all the fuel for the round journey from Bal Harbour. Only two things can add to the base booking, and each is listed on this page: the night surcharge for time outside daytime hours, and any extra hours you choose to add, billed at your vehicle’s same rate. For you, that means no garage ticket and no pay-station line when the evening ends. Your group gets in the same clean cabin you rode down in and heads home.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, then plan the evening however you like.
First, choose the vehicle that fits your group. Then message us on WhatsApp with the group size, a rough start time, and the stops you have in mind. Pickup can be any Miami address, and we agree on the exact spot when you book. That includes a hotel, Miami International Airport, a home, or a PortMiami cruise terminal if you’re getting off a ship that morning and desire to go straight to the game. The car stays with you for the whole five-hour block. You set the stops and the pace, whether that’s dinner first, a stop at Bayside, or a quick journey back to the hotel for jackets. After those five hours, each extra hour is added at the same per-hour rate. You can keep the car as long as you need without renegotiating anything.
Overtime doesn’t affect your ride, because the car is reserved for your group, not for a fixed end time. If a close finish runs past your booked hours, the extra time is billed at your vehicle’s usual rate and settled once the day wraps up. Nobody has to watch the clock during the final minutes.
Yes. Once we agree on the day and time for a short-notice booking, your slot is locked in and held just for you. For any service within the next 24 hours, a driver and vehicle are already set aside for you. That means the date and time are fixed, and we can’t guarantee a change or a refund. You can always add more hours on the day.
Yes. A reserved vehicle with its own chauffeur is the private way to get from Bal Harbour to this game.
Every ride we run is private: one group, one vehicle, one driver, and no seats sold to strangers. People who search for a “shuttle to the Heat game” usually desire what our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offers: a private van that carries the whole group together, leaves when you’re ready, and heads home on your schedule instead of a fixed timetable. Smaller groups get the same service in a Black SUV XL or a Platinum SUV. Since the car belongs to your group for the evening, the same people ride together both ways, so friends and family don’t get split up in a packed arena crowd or scattered across separate pickups. The questions below cover what else Bal Harbour riders often ask before a Downtown game night, from parking to pets to how far the service goes.
For most Bal Harbour groups, no. Driving yourself means a slow weekday-evening drive south, a garage fee, searching for a space near the arena, and a long exit line after the buzzer. Someone in the group also has to skip drinks to drive. With a chauffeur, parking is included and everyone can enjoy the night.
No. We don’t bundle tickets, hotels, or packages. We provide the private vehicle and chauffeur for your hours. Buy game tickets through the team’s or the arena’s official channels, then book the car around them. Your driver is happy to suggest a dinner spot on the way, but you make the plans and reservations.
This hourly service is a local, on-call service that stays around the city. It covers Bal Harbour, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, the area around Miami International Airport, and nearby areas up toward Fort Lauderdale. It doesn’t go out to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach. Staying local keeps the evening unhurried.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
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 one WhatsApp message and we’ll check availability for December 21 and confirm your chauffeur.
Feature your group size, your pickup address in Bal Harbour, a rough start time, and the stops you have in mind, such as dinner at Bal Harbour Shops, a drink by the bay before the game, or a late bite in Brickell. We’ll match the vehicle to your group, confirm the plan, and send a secure payment link so your date is held. The Monday before Christmas is a busy week in Miami, with holiday visitors, snowbirds, and Bulls fans from up north all in town together. Booking early gives your group the widest choice of vehicles. Once you’re confirmed, all that’s left is choosing between Heat red and black and deciding where to eat. Book your Bal Harbour game-night chauffeur now.
