Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Bal Harbour to Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards at Kaseya Center on Thursday, December 3, 2026. The ride is in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver picks you up anywhere in Bal Harbour and drives you to the 7:30 PM tip-off. The same car is ready afterward for the ride home.
Rates are set per vehicle by the hour, and every Bal Harbour game-night booking has a five-hour minimum.
Each rate covers the whole vehicle and its chauffeur. It is not a per-seat fare, so the price stays the same whether you fill one seat or every seat. A five-hour block fits an evening built around the game: pickup in Bal Harbour, the drive into Downtown Miami, the full game, and the ride back up Collins Avenue once the arena empties. If your group wants a relaxed dinner before tip-off or a nightcap on the way home, reserve a little more time from the start. The Black SUV XL suits couples and small families. The Platinum SUV gives a slightly larger party a more upscale cabin. The two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter tiers let a big group of friends ride together instead of splitting between cars and meeting up at the arena.
Paying the full fare when you book reserves your date.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into the hourly rate, so the drive downtown adds nothing extra.
That includes any causeway toll between Bal Harbour and Downtown Miami, and any parking the car needs downtown while the game is on. One short comfort stop for a restroom break or a quick snack is simple to fit in. Just ask the driver, and it doesn’t change what you pay. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. There’s room for signs, jerseys, and any team merch you buy at the arena. If you’re bringing something big, let us know ahead of time. The one extra charge that may apply is the after-hours surcharge.
A private chauffeur turns a Thursday-night Heat game into one simple evening out from Bal Harbour.
The Heat host the Washington Wizards, a Southeast Division rival, on Thursday, December 3, 2026, with tip-off at 7:30 PM. The game is at Kaseya Center, the Downtown Miami arena on the waterfront beside Bayside Marketplace and Biscayne Bay. A weeknight regular-season game still fills the downtown arena with a loud crowd, and the drive from Bal Harbour runs straight into the evening commute. If you drive yourself, you sit in that traffic, circle for a garage, and ask one person to skip the drinks and watch the clock. With a chauffeur by the hour, the whole group leaves together from a Bal Harbour lobby or front door, the pre-game talk starts in the back seat, and the ride home is sorted before anyone finds their seat. It works for visiting fans at an oceanfront hotel and for locals who want a night off from driving.
A Heat home game draws a crowd as varied as Miami itself, from longtime regulars to visiting families. Many fans are Latino, with Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Puerto Rican families among them, and you’ll hear English and Spanish all night. A bilingual chauffeur fits right in, whatever language your group chat runs in on the way down.
Your chauffeur drives south from Bal Harbour, crosses Biscayne Bay, and brings you into Downtown Miami.
On a quiet afternoon the drive is simple. On a Thursday game night it runs into the evening commute and a whole arena crowd arriving at once, so timing is what matters. Leave plenty of extra time and plan to reach downtown well before tip-off. Traffic on the causeways and along Biscayne Boulevard usually builds as the start gets closer. Arriving early means you walk in calmly instead of rushing the entrance line. Your chauffeur watches live traffic, takes whichever approach is moving, and updates you on WhatsApp if plans need to shift. When the game ends, the same car is already downtown. The post-game scramble for rides and garages doesn’t touch your group, and you’re back in the car and heading toward the bay while the streets are still busy.
Most drives follow Collins Avenue south through Surfside and Miami Beach, then cross Biscayne Bay on the Julia Tuttle Causeway or the MacArthur Causeway toward Downtown. If the beach side is backed up, the driver can head west over the Broad Causeway and come down Biscayne Boulevard on the mainland instead. The route depends on live traffic that evening.
Your chauffeur drops the group as close to the venue as game-night access allows, usually a short walk from the entrance, so you can head straight inside. Before you go in, you and the driver agree on a pickup point for after the game. You confirm it again on WhatsApp so nobody has to wonder where the car is.
Yes. The driver stays downtown with the car for the whole game. When the final buzzer sounds, message your chauffeur on WhatsApp as you leave your seats and walk to the agreed pickup point. The car is there for you, so there’s no hunting for a ride or waiting in a garage line before the drive back to Bal Harbour.
Bal Harbour Shops is the classic pre-game dinner stop, and your car waits just outside.
The open-air center on Collins Avenue has some of the neighborhood’s best-known restaurants. Makoto serves Japanese food and sushi, and Carpaccio is a good choice for a long Italian dinner under the palms. Just south, The Surf Club in Surfside is another well-loved place for a group that wants an elegant meal before a big night. Because you’ve booked by the hour, the chauffeur parks neighboring while you eat and pulls up when you’re ready to head south. There’s no valet ticket, no splitting the group across two cars, and no one checking the time on a phone. Book an earlier table than usual on game night so the drive downtown stays relaxed. These are only ideas for your hours: you make your own reservations, and your driver is happy to suggest places that fit the evening.
Yes. You choose the stops, so the evening can move south too. Some groups skip dinner in Bal Harbour and go for a pre-game drink in Brickell. Others arrive early for a waterfront bite at Bayside Marketplace, right beside the arena. The same driver takes you between stops and waits at each one, so timing and parking stay his job, not yours.
Daytime service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM has no surcharge. 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 SUV surcharge is a single fixed amount per trip. The Sprinter surcharge is a percentage of the trip value, so it grows with the size of the booking. Keep that in mind when you’re choosing between an SUV and a Sprinter for a larger group, and you can budget the whole night before game day. Nothing else changes after dark: the same chauffeur and the same vehicle bring your group home to Bal Harbour.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, then plan the evening.
First, pick the vehicle that fits your group. Then send us your group size, a rough start time, and the stops you have in mind on WhatsApp. Your chauffeur can pick you up at any Miami address: a Bal Harbour hotel lobby or residence, a PortMiami cruise terminal if you’re coming off a ship and heading straight to the game, Miami International Airport, or a private home. You agree on the pickup spot when you book. From then on the car is yours. The driver follows your plan, adds or drops a stop when you ask, and keeps the vehicle ready between stops. Your first five hours are the booking itself. After that block, each extra hour is added at the same per-hour rate. Overtime, a late dinner, or one more stop in Brickell just means keeping the car longer, and you settle the extra time after the night ends.
We offer a premium service built around one private vehicle reserved only for your group.
Your hourly rate is flat and locked the moment you book. It doesn’t surge on a sold-out night or change for traffic or weather. One bilingual chauffeur stays with you from the Bal Harbour pickup to the final drop-off, so the person who drove you downtown is the same one on call during the game and ready for the trip home. You deal with our team directly on WhatsApp, both before the day to plan and during the night to arrange the pickup. We keep the vehicles clean and relaxing, the cabin is yours alone, and the evening moves at your pace. If you want Heat night to feel like a night out rather than a commute, it’s a better experience from start to finish.
Every ride is private. The vehicle and chauffeur are reserved for your group alone, and no other passengers join. If you were searching for a private shuttle to the Heat game, what we offer is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or SUV with your own driver. Your seats are yours from Bal Harbour to the arena and back.
Four private vehicle tiers cover everything from a couple’s night out to a large group.
Every tier comes with its own chauffeur, and none of these vehicles is ever handed over for you to drive. If your group is right at the limit for a vehicle, moving up one tier gives everyone more room on the ride home. Send us your headcount on WhatsApp and we’ll match the right vehicle.
These are the questions Bal Harbour guests most frequently send us before a Heat night, with direct answers.
Leave Bal Harbour in the early evening with plenty of extra time, and earlier if dinner is part of the plan. The 7:30 PM tip-off comes at the end of the Thursday evening commute, and downtown traffic usually builds as the start gets closer. Your chauffeur will suggest a departure time based on your stops and that evening’s traffic.
We can pick you up at any address in Bal Harbour. That includes the lobby of an oceanfront hotel on Collins Avenue, such as The St. Regis Bal Harbour or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, the entrance of a residential tower, a private home, or Bal Harbour Shops after an afternoon there. You confirm the exact spot when you book.
Our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comes in two sizes, so both a mid-size party and a large group can ride in one vehicle instead of splitting up. The larger Sprinter is the biggest single vehicle we send to the game. The passenger range for each tier is listed next to its rate in the price list above. Either way, one chauffeur stays with the whole group all night.
Yes, if a vehicle is available. Once you agree on the day and time inside that final 24-hour window, your slot is locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. At that point we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, and the ride goes ahead as agreed. You can always add more hours on the day at the same hourly rate.
Yes, anywhere in the local Miami area. The hourly service covers Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, and the area around Miami International Airport, plus nearby areas up toward Fort Lauderdale. It’s a local, on-call service that stays around the city, so it doesn’t run out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
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.
