Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Bal Harbour to Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards at Kaseya Center on Friday, April 9, 2027, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, locked at booking, with a 5-hour minimum. Tip-off is 8:00 PM. Your bilingual driver picks you up anywhere in Bal Harbour, drops the group near the arena, and is waiting when the final buzzer sounds.
Pricing is per vehicle and per hour, and every game-night reservation starts with a minimum booking of five hours.
You pay by the vehicle, not by the passenger, so everyone in the car shares one hourly rate no matter how many seats are filled. Pick the tier that matches your headcount, decide how many hours the evening needs, and you know the full cost before anyone leaves the lobby. A Heat night from Bal Harbour usually strings together an unhurried dinner, the ride downtown, four quarters of basketball, and the drive back up the coast. The car stays with you, so there is no second fare for the journey home and no scramble for a ride outside a sold-out arena.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into the hourly rate, along with every minute of your chauffeur’s time.
This matters on a Heat night. The drive from Bal Harbour can cross a causeway, and the garages near the bayfront fill early before a sold-out game, but none of that shows up on your bill as a separate charge. The rate covers the chauffeur from the first pickup to the last drop-off, including the time the car sits ready while you eat, cheer, or linger over a post-game drink. Want to stop at a Brickell rooftop, or take a few photos by the water at Bayside Marketplace before heading inside? Tell the driver and the plan bends around you, with no new fare to work out. Everything the evening needs to obtain from Bal Harbour to the game and back sits inside that one hourly rate.
Only two items can fall outside the hourly rate. The first is the after-hours surcharge. There is no charge for fuel, tolls, or parking, and no fee for the car waiting through the game.
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 surcharge is one fixed line on your bill, not a price that moves. On the SUV it is a fixed amount per journey. On the Sprinter it is a percentage of the journey value, so you can work out the cost of the whole evening before you book. The charge stays the same whether the crowd clears quickly or Biscayne Boulevard crawls after a close finish.
A private vehicle reserved only for your group makes game night a premium service from start to finish.
Your rate is flat and locked when you book. It doesn’t surge when a sellout crowd spills onto the boulevard, and it doesn’t change for rain or traffic. One chauffeur handles the entire block, so the person who greeted you in Bal Harbour is the same one who knows your dinner plans and where the group wants to go afterward. That driver is bilingual, so a mixed party of visiting relatives and local friends feels equally at home. The car stays yours through the final quarter instead of leaving after the drop-off. Put together, it is simply a better experience: no curbside waiting, no splitting the group across separate rides, and one peaceful cabin on your schedule from the first pickup to the last.
Yes. Every booking is arranged and confirmed on WhatsApp, and on the day that same chat becomes your direct line to the driver. Use it when a dinner reservation gets pushed back or someone wants an extra stop on the way home. There’s no call center in between, just your group and your chauffeur.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple on a date night to a full group of friends in one vehicle.
Every tier has room for what fans bring to a game, like signs, jerseys, and a bag of team merch. If you’re bringing something big, just tell us in advance. Choose by headcount first and mood second. The Platinum SUV suits a polished night for two or a client you want to impress, while the larger Sprinter keeps a big group in one cabin for the pre-game buzz and the post-game replay.
One Sprinter usually makes more sense when the group wants to arrive and leave together: one pickup in Bal Harbour, one drop-off downtown, and one meeting point after the game. Two SUVs suit a party that splits up at the end of the night, with half heading home and half going on to Brickell, because each car has its own chauffeur and schedule.
Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards is a Friday-night NBA home game on April 9, 2027, tipping off at 8:00 PM.
The game falls in the closing stretch of the regular season, one of the last home dates before the playoffs. The Eastern Conference standings can still be shifting then, and every run draws a roar. Washington comes in as a Southeast Division rival, and the Heat’s long streak of sellouts points to a packed house on the Biscayne Bay waterfront, with fans in Heat colors filling the downtown sidewalks well before tip-off. Much of the build-up happens outside the arena: the bayfront restaurants fill with jerseys and the streets around the arena slow to a crawl. That is exactly why so many groups hand the driving to someone else. For event-night details straight from the venue, check the official Kaseya Center site. Your chauffeur handles everything between Bal Harbour and the bay so the group can simply enjoy the night.
Downtown is busy and festive on a Heat night. Bayside Marketplace sits right beside the arena with waterfront bars and restaurants, Brickell’s dining scene is just to the south, and Museum Park stretches along the bay to the north. With the car on hand, a pre-game drink by the water and a late bite in Brickell afterward fit easily into one evening.
Your chauffeur meets you at any address in Bal Harbour, with the exact spot agreed when you book.
Most game-night pickups start at a hotel front entrance, such as The St. Regis Bal Harbour or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, or at the lobby of one of the oceanfront residences along Collins Avenue. Bal Harbour Shops works just as well, especially when the group has spent the afternoon browsing or wants to leave straight from dinner there. Guests staying next door in Surfside or Bay Harbor Islands are an easy pickup too. Send the address, the name the booking is under, and a rough departure time on WhatsApp, and the driver will message you when the car is in place so nobody waits in the lobby. Everyone loads up at an easy pace, and no one has to fetch a car from the valet or worry about who is driving home.
Bal Harbour Shops is the classic pre-game stop. Carpaccio is a longtime favorite for Italian, Makoto serves Japanese, and Le Zoo brings a French brasserie feel, all along the open-air walkways. Your chauffeur stays nearby while you eat, then heads south once you’re done. You make your own reservations, and we handle the ride.
Your chauffeur drives your group south from Bal Harbour to Downtown Miami on whichever route is moving best.
You don’t need a garage reservation, a parking plan, or a meeting point to coordinate. The car leaves from your door and heads straight for the bay. Outside rush hour the drive is typically straightforward, but a Friday evening and a sellout crowd change things, so allow plenty of extra time. Your driver watches live traffic and picks the route that is moving, switching on the fly if one backs up. The aim is for your group to step out downtown relaxed, with time for a drink before the anthem, instead of circling for a garage spot as the clock ticks toward 8:00 PM. After the final buzzer your driver uses the same local knowledge to obtain you home, taking the quickest way back north.
The driver usually takes one of two routes. The coastal route runs south on Collins Avenue through Surfside and Miami Beach, then crosses the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur Causeway to the mainland. The inland route takes the Broad Causeway west to Biscayne Boulevard or I-95 and follows it south. Your chauffeur picks whichever is moving best that evening.
Leave well ahead of the 8:00 PM tip-off, because Friday traffic and a packed downtown both slow the final approach. Many groups eat dinner first and leave straight from the table. Tell us your target arrival time on WhatsApp, and your chauffeur will suggest a departure time based on that evening’s conditions.
Your chauffeur drops the group as close to the arena as event-night access allows.
Kaseya Center faces Biscayne Bay along Biscayne Boulevard, and the streets around it are tightly controlled on a Heat night, so the exact drop-off point depends on that evening’s traffic plan. Your driver pulls in at the closest workable spot, lets everyone out on the curb side, and points the group toward the nearest entrance. From there the car moves to a neighboring spot and stays through the game. The payoff comes at the end of the night. While the crowd funnels toward garage exits and pickup lines, your group walks a short way to a car that is already waiting, then heads back north to Bal Harbour or on to a late dinner. This is the biggest reason fans book by the hour for a downtown arena night.
Yes. Waiting is exactly what the hourly booking is for. Your chauffeur stays nearby with the vehicle for all four quarters, including halftime and any overtime. You don’t pay per stop and don’t need to book a ride home. The same driver and car you arrived in are ready when the group walks out.
Agree on a pickup point with your chauffeur before you head inside, then send a quick WhatsApp message as you leave your seats. The driver replies with where the car is, and your group walks straight to it instead of joining the post-game crush at the curb. From there you head home to Bal Harbour or on to Brickell.
You pay the full fare when you book.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, then plan the evening yourself.
Choose the tier that fits your group, then send a WhatsApp message with the headcount, a rough start time, and the stops you’d like to make, such as dinner in Bal Harbour, the arena, and maybe a nightcap in Brickell. The booking starts with the five-hour block, and the driver is yours for every minute of it. Pickup can be at any Miami address agreed at booking: a hotel, a home, Miami International Airport, or a PortMiami cruise terminal if you’re getting off the ship and going straight to the game. You set the pace and the order, so you can add a stop, skip one, or stay longer somewhere you like. If the night runs past the block, nothing gets renegotiated. Every additional hour is simply added at the same flat per-hour rate and settled after the day, so you can keep the car as long as you need.
Yes. A private SUV or Sprinter with your own chauffeur, reserved by the hour, covers this exact journey.
Whether you searched for a car service, a private van, or a driver for the night, the answer is the same: one vehicle, one chauffeur, and a block of hours built around the game. The evening starts wherever you’re staying in Bal Harbour and ends back at your door, or wherever the night takes you afterward. Families book it so nobody has to drive home after a late finish. Friends book it to keep the whole group together from dinner to the final buzzer. Couples choose the Platinum SUV for a polished date night by the bay, and visiting fans use it to obtain around the city without learning the roads. Whoever is in the group, the car and the schedule belong to your party alone. The answers below cover what Bal Harbour guests ask most often before booking.
No. Every vehicle we run is private, so the SUV or Sprinter carries only the people in your party from the first pickup to the last drop-off. There are no fixed departure times, no stops for strangers, and no shared seats. Your group decides who rides, when the car leaves, and where it goes next.
Yes. For a ride within the next 24 hours, once the day and time are agreed, a driver and vehicle are set aside just for you. The booking then goes ahead as agreed, because on such short notice a date change or refund can’t be guaranteed. You can always add more hours on the day itself.
The hourly service stays local around Miami, so your chauffeur is always nearby, unhurried, and on call. It 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. Farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach aren’t part of this hourly service.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Yes. Book extra hours and turn game day into a full day out. You could start at lunchtime with a ride past the Wynwood murals, a Cuban coffee in Little Havana, or a stroll along the water in Coconut Grove. Then return to Bal Harbour to change before heading downtown. The same car and chauffeur stay with you throughout.
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.

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.

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.
