Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Bal Harbour to Miami Marlins vs. Chicago Cubs on Monday, May 31, 2027, in a Black SUV XL or a larger private vehicle at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. One bilingual driver picks you up anywhere in Bal Harbour and stays with you all day. Your rate is locked when you book, and there is no surge pricing.
Each private vehicle has one flat hourly rate, with a five-hour minimum per booking.
Your total is the number of hours you keep the car. The rate is charged per vehicle, not per passenger. A full SUV of friends from a Collins Avenue tower pays the same hourly rate as a couple riding alone. That makes a Sprinter a smart pick for a bigger holiday group. Split across a family reunion or a crew of visiting Cubs fans, each person’s share shrinks rapidly. Choose the tier that seats everyone comfortably. Then count the hours from your Bal Harbour pickup to the last drop-off, and you know the total before anyone leaves the lobby. The main extra that can be added is the evening surcharge explained below.
Payment takes three steps, all arranged over WhatsApp or with your driver.
Daytime service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM has no surcharge. Trips outside those hours carry a night surcharge that depends on the vehicle type.
Many Memorial Day groups never pay this surcharge, because a simple ride to the game and back often finishes within daytime hours. It applies when the day runs late. 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. Tell us your plans when you book, and we will let you know whether the surcharge is likely to apply, so nothing on the final bill is a surprise. For the SUV tiers it is a set amount per trip. For the Sprinter tiers it is a percentage of the trip value, as listed above. It is added on top of your hourly rate.
Four private tiers cover every group size, from a couple of fans to a full fan club.
Group size usually decides the vehicle. Two lifelong Cubs fans who flew in for the long weekend will ride comfortably in the Black SUV XL. A Bal Harbour family bringing grandparents and cousins can stay together in one Sprinter instead of splitting across cars and losing each other in the pregame crowd. The Platinum SUV suits guests who want the most polished ride of the day, such as an anniversary or a birthday surprise for a die-hard fan. Every tier has room for what fans usually bring, like signs, jerseys, and a bag of merch from the team store; just tell us in advance if you’re bringing something large.
Miami Marlins vs. Chicago Cubs is a National League game on Monday, May 31, 2027.
The game falls on Memorial Day, and the Marlins host it at loanDepot park, their retractable-roof ballpark in Little Havana. A holiday date against one of baseball’s top-traveling road teams draws a large, mixed crowd. On one side are Miami families with deep Cuban, Venezuelan, and Dominican baseball roots. On the other is a loud, loyal crowd in Cubs blue: Midwestern transplants who retired to South Florida, plus fans who fly in from Chicago and make the long weekend a beach vacation. Many of those visitors stay in Bal Harbour, where the oceanfront hotels and the Bal Harbour Shops make an easy base for the weekend. The day feels like a holiday picnic and a road trip at once, and when the Cubs are winning you will hear “Go Cubs Go” echo under the roof.
Most bookings come from three kinds of groups. Lifelong Cubs fans, many of them retirees who moved south, would rather not drive into a packed holiday crowd. Groups of friends want to enjoy the game without anyone acting as the designated driver. Multigenerational Marlins families want to arrive together instead of coordinating several cars.
Leave Bal Harbour well before first pitch, because holiday traffic slows every route south.
On an ordinary day the drive is a comfortable trip across town. On Memorial Day, allow plenty of extra time, because beach traffic on Collins Avenue, holiday visitors on the causeways, and a large crowd heading to the ballpark all build at once. Most groups want to be in their seats with time for food and the pregame atmosphere, so plan the pickup around that rather than the start time printed on the ticket. Share your ticket details when you book, and your chauffeur will suggest a pickup window that fits. Because you have the car by the hour, leaving early costs you nothing extra. If the group arrives with time to spare, the driver can loop through Little Havana first so everyone steps out relaxed.
Most trips head south on Collins Avenue and cross to the mainland on the Broad Causeway or the Julia Tuttle Causeway. From there the driver takes I-95 south and then the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) toward Little Havana. On a busy holiday, the driver may use the MacArthur Causeway or surface streets through Downtown Miami instead, whichever is moving best that day.
The chauffeur drops your group off as close to the entrance as game-day access allows, then parks nearby to wait instead of circling. You skip the parking lines entirely. Before you walk in, agree on a meeting spot and keep WhatsApp handy, so finding the car after the final out takes one message.
Yes. The driver stays for the whole game, however long it runs, because you have the car by the hour rather than for a single trip. If extra innings push the day past your booked block, the added time is billed like any other hour you keep the car, and your group always has a ride home.
Your chauffeur picks you up at any Bal Harbour address you choose when you book.
For most visitors, that means the lobby entrance of The St. Regis Bal Harbour or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour. Residents are just as easy to pick up: the driver can meet you at the lobby of your oceanfront tower on Collins Avenue or outside your home in the residential village west of Collins. If your group is split across two buildings, or a friend is staying in Surfside or across the bridge in Bay Harbor Islands, add each address as a stop. The chauffeur will pick everyone up before heading south. Groups that want to shop or eat first can meet the car at the Bal Harbour Shops entrance instead. The pickup point is confirmed as part of your booking, so on game day you just walk out to the waiting car.
The Bal Harbour Shops have some of the area’s best-known restaurants for a meal before the game, including Carpaccio for Italian food and Makoto for Japanese. Book your table directly with the restaurant, and your driver will meet the group at the Shops entrance once you’re done, ready for the drive south to the ballpark.
Little Havana surrounds the ballpark, so a stop there before the game fits easily into the day.
SW 8th Street is the neighborhood’s main street, lined with Cuban bakeries, walk-up coffee windows, cigar shops, and colorful murals. Domino Park draws a lively crowd of regulars. Versailles, the landmark Cuban restaurant farther west on the same street, has been a Miami gathering place for generations. Ball & Chain, a revived music venue, offers live Latin music if your group wants a lively start to the day. Visiting Cubs fans get a real taste of Miami before the game, and local Marlins families get to show off their neighborhood. With the car booked by the hour, your chauffeur drops the group on SW 8th Street and stays nearby while you discover. When it’s time to go to the ballpark, the driver picks everyone up again. Nobody has to find a second parking spot, feed a meter, or leave early to get the car.
Yes. You set the stops, so you can fit a meal in wherever you like. Before the game, the car can stop in Little Havana or in Downtown Miami near Bayside Marketplace. Afterward, it can take you to a Brickell restaurant, a waterfront table in Coconut Grove, or a late drink in Wynwood before the ride back to Bal Harbour.
A private chauffeur handles the parking, the traffic, and the ride home, so you don’t have to.
Your group gets a private vehicle reserved only for you and one dedicated driver who stays with you through the game and every stop around it. The hourly rate is flat and locked when you book, and it does not surge when the holiday crowd pours out after the final out. Your chauffeur speaks English and Spanish, which helps with a Little Havana coffee order and with a mixed group of visiting relatives. You can message your driver directly on WhatsApp, so changing plans takes one text. Cubs fans who flew in don’t have to learn Miami’s causeways. Local Marlins families don’t have to lose one parent to hunting for parking. We build every booking around that kind of premium service, so the day is easier from the Bal Harbour lobby to the last drop-off.
You reserve one vehicle and one driver for a block of hours.
First, choose the tier that fits your group. Then send your stops over WhatsApp, for example a meal at the Bal Harbour Shops, a walk through Little Havana, the game, and a late dinner. This page covers trips from Bal Harbour, but 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 game), Miami International Airport, or a home. The pickup spot is agreed when you book. From the first pickup, the car and chauffeur are yours. The driver waits while you’re at the game and moves only when you do. Your booking starts with a five-hour block. After that, each extra hour is added at the same per-hour rate, so you can keep the car as long as you need it. There is no renegotiated fare, and you settle the extra hours after the day ends.
If your service is within the next 24 hours, your slot is locked in and held just for you. A driver and vehicle are already set aside, so the date and time stay as agreed, and on such short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund. You can still add more hours on the day at any time.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in the hourly rate.
That covers the whole day across town: fuel for the trip from Bal Harbour to Little Havana and back, tolls on whichever causeway and expressway route the driver takes, and parking for the car during the game. The rate also covers the vehicle and a chauffeur for every hour of your booking, so you pay for time, not for miles or for each stop you add. A few extras may apply on top of the rate. The night surcharge applies only to trips outside daytime hours. Any hours you add past your reserved block are billed at your vehicle’s normal hourly rate. Mention whichever of these apply when you book, and your total will be clear before the day begins.
Yes, and families with kids are a big part of any holiday crowd.
The hourly service stays around Miami, and Bal Harbour is well within the area.
Your driver 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. That covers the places a game day usually includes: a morning on the beach in Bal Harbour, the drive to the ballpark, a stop to see the Wynwood murals, and dinner in Brickell or Coconut Grove. The same chauffeur stays on call for your whole block, so the service is designed for relaxed days around the city rather than long highway drives. For that reason, we keep hourly bookings local and don’t run them to farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach. For a Memorial Day ballgame from Bal Harbour, everything you’re likely to want is well within that area.
Many visiting Cubs fans spend the whole holiday weekend in Bal Harbour.
The oceanfront hotels and quiet residential towers along Collins Avenue make an easy base for a long weekend in Miami, and the Memorial Day game is often the main event of the trip. Many of these guests are Midwestern families and old friends getting together for a few days in the sun. The ballpark is across the bay on the mainland, in a neighborhood many of them have never seen. Local Marlins families in Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands have a different question: how to enjoy a holiday game without anyone spending the day behind the wheel. The questions below come from both groups, and each answer describes exactly how our hourly service works, from the first pickup at your door to the drop-off back in Bal Harbour.
The easiest option is a private chauffeur booked by the hour. One car picks up your group in Bal Harbour, crosses to the mainland, and drops you at the ballpark in Little Havana. After the game, the same car brings everyone back. You skip holiday parking, keep your hands free for merch, and don’t have to plan the ride home.
Yes, and it is fully private: the vehicle carries only your group, never other fans. If you searched for a private shuttle or private van to the game, this is it. You get a Sprinter or SUV reserved just for you, with the same driver from your Bal Harbour pickup to your final drop-off.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Send your group size, a rough start time, your Bal Harbour pickup address, and the stops you’d like to make, such as a meal at the Shops, a walk through Little Havana, or dinner after the game. We confirm the vehicle and the day’s plan over WhatsApp, so everything is settled before May 31.
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.
