Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Bal Harbour to Stars and Strings at Hard Rock Live on Thursday, November 12, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your driver collects you anywhere in Bal Harbour, the rate is locked at booking with no surge, and one car covers dinner, the 8:00 PM show, and the ride home.
The hourly rate depends on the vehicle your group needs, and each tier’s rate is listed below.
Rates are charged per vehicle, not per seat, so a group that fills a Sprinter splits one hourly figure instead of paying per person. Every booking starts with a block of five hours. On a dinner-and-concert night, that block covers the Bal Harbour pickup, the meal, the drive north, and a good part of the show. If the evening runs longer, you merely add time, and the booking section below explains how. The only other charge that can apply on this night is the after-hours surcharge, which has its own section further down. Everything else you need to budget for is in the list above.
Stars and Strings is an annual all-star country concert hosted by Audacy’s KISS Country station.
The 2026 edition, presented by Xfinity, is on Thursday, November 12, 2026, and starts at 8:00 PM at Hard Rock Live, the live-music venue inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The announced lineup puts Kane Brown, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, worship star Brandon Lake, and Audacy LAUNCH artist Stephen Wilson Jr. on one bill. The show falls close to Veterans Day, which gives the night a patriotic, flag-waving feel. Most of the crowd are South Florida country fans, and numerous have listened to the station for years. They come as friend groups, as couples on a large date night, and in boots and hats, ready to sing every chorus. It is a weeknight show with arena-style energy, so the ride matters. The drive north runs into Thursday commuter traffic, and the end of the night releases a very large crowd all at once.
The concert is in Hollywood, Florida, in Broward County, not in Miami itself. The Seminole Hard Rock sits between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. From Bal Harbour, the trip is a short run north past Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura, not a long highway drive, and one booked chauffeur handles it from pickup to curb.
Leave Bal Harbour with plenty of spare time, because Thursday rush hour overlaps with concert arrivals.
On an ordinary evening the drive north is typically manageable. On November 12, though, the end of the weekday commute meets a full house of concertgoers heading the same way, so permit noticeably more time than usual and don’t cut it close to the 8:00 PM start. If you want dinner in Bal Harbour first, plan to sit down in the late afternoon. If you are going straight to the show, leave in the early evening. That leaves time to settle in, pick up merch, and locate your seats before the first artist walks out. Arriving early also lets you savor the resort’s pre-show buzz instead of watching the clock in a traffic line. Your chauffeur watches live traffic from the moment of pickup and changes the route as conditions change. The car is yours for the whole block, so leaving early just means more of the evening happens on your terms.
A chauffeur typically chooses between two routes out of Bal Harbour. One crosses the Broad Causeway west to Biscayne Boulevard and joins I-95 northbound toward Hollywood. The other runs north on Collins Avenue through Sunny Isles Beach, then turns inland on Hallandale Beach Boulevard toward State Road 7. Live traffic on the night decides which one to take.
The driver drops you as close to the venue as access allows, following the drop-off point and traffic directions the resort sets for show night. Your group steps out together near the entrance and heads in to find your seats. The driver then leaves the drop-off lane and moves to a waiting spot nearby.
Yes. The driver stays close by for the whole concert and drives your group home afterward, because those hours are already yours. Before you walk in, agree on a pickup meeting point. When the encore ends, send a WhatsApp message and the car heads to that spot as soon as traffic allows, so nobody has to hunt for a ride in the after-show crowd.
Bal Harbour Shops has several well-known dinner spots, which makes it a natural first stop before the show.
Carpaccio has long been a favorite for Italian food with the shopping crowd. Makoto serves polished Japanese cooking, and Le Zoo has the feel of a Parisian brasserie, so your group can choose the mood and still stay close to the hotel lobbies along Collins Avenue. Just south in Surfside, the Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller at the Four Seasons has a more formal supper-club setting for couples treating the night as a celebration. You can also head north early and eat at the resort itself, where Council Oak Steaks & Seafood and several casual spots are steps from the show. Wherever you choose, the chauffeur pulls up at the restaurant and the car stays nearby while you eat, so nobody leaves the table to deal with valet tickets or a parking garage. These are ideas for your booked hours. You make the reservations, and the driver plans the route around them.
Yes. A dinner stop fits inside the same hourly booking, with no separate fare. Tell us the restaurant when you book, and the driver plans the evening around it. After dessert, the same car takes the group north to the concert. A second stop, such as a quick trip back to the hotel for a jacket, is just as easy to add.
A late stop works well, because the booking runs on your hours instead of a fixed return time. The group might end with a nightcap at your Bal Harbour hotel bar or stop for a late bite on the way back down the coast. Mention the idea when you book, so the driver can plan the return route around it.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into every hourly rate, so road costs never show up as extras.
That covers the tolls on whichever route the chauffeur takes toward Hollywood, the fuel for every stop you add, and any parking the vehicle needs during the night. Your rate covers the vehicle and the chauffeur together, and changing the order of your stops never changes the price. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Cowboy hats, homemade signs, and merch bags fit easily; just tell us in advance if you’re bringing something large. You pay for time, not distance, so the car is yours whether it is driving or parked, and the price stays the same either way. One extra charge can apply on top of the base hours: the after-hours surcharge explained below. The late ride home from an evening concert normally triggers it, so it is worth including in your plans from the start.
A private vehicle reserved for your group alone turns a weeknight concert into a premium night out.
The car, the chauffeur, and the schedule are yours from the first Bal Harbour pickup to the last drop-off, with no strangers in the cabin. Your hourly rate is flat and locked when you book, with no surge for traffic, weather, or a packed house, so the price you confirm is the price you pay on November 12. One bilingual chauffeur stays with the group for the whole block and waits through the show, so the person who drops you off is the person who brings you home. Plans go through a direct WhatsApp line to our team, so a later dinner time or an extra guest takes one swift message. Together, that makes for better service and a better experience on a night when the whole city seems to be heading the same way. You deal with fewer moving parts, ride in one clean premium vehicle, and reach together and relaxed. It is premium service built around your group’s plans.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple’s date night to a full crew of country fans.
Choose by headcount first, then by feel. Every tier comes with the same chauffeur for the whole block, so the difference is cabin size and finish, not what the night includes. If your group count changes after booking, send a message and we’ll confirm whether to move up a size.
The Platinum SUV is the best choice if you want an executive-level cabin on concert night. It suits a couple celebrating, a small group marking a milestone, or anyone who wants the most refined vehicle we offer. Larger groups who want to stay together can book the Sprinter, which keeps everyone in one private van from pickup to the ride home.
You book one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, then plan the night your way.
Start by messaging us on WhatsApp with your group size, a rough start time, and the stops you have in mind, such as dinner, the concert, and maybe a late bite. We match the vehicle to your headcount and reserve a five-hour block as the starting point. Pickup can be at any Miami address: a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal (a cruise-day arrival can go straight to the event), Miami International Airport, or a home. The exact spot is agreed at booking, and for this show it is usually a lobby or residence in Bal Harbour. From there, the chauffeur stays with you for the whole block. You set the stops and the pace. You can add a detour, drop a stop, or take your time over dinner, and the itinerary changes with you. The plan is never fixed, which suits a concert night that rarely runs exactly on schedule.
Keep the car as long as you like. After the five-hour block, each additional hour is simply added at your vehicle’s same per-hour rate, with no new quote and no renegotiated fare. You don’t have to pay for the extra time on the spot either; it is settled after the day, with the driver or over WhatsApp.
This hourly service stays local, so its chauffeurs are always close by and on call around the city. It covers Miami, 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, including Bal Harbour and Hollywood. Hourly trips to farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach aren’t part of this service.
Daytime service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM has no surcharge. Trips outside those hours carry the surcharge listed below for your vehicle.
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. It depends on the vehicle: the SUV has a flat addition per trip, while the Sprinter tiers use a percentage of the trip value, as shown above. The hourly rate itself doesn’t change after dark. You keep the same chauffeur and vehicle, and nothing else is added for a late finish. Knowing this up front lets you compare tiers with the full evening in view, and nothing new comes up when the show lets out.
You pay the full fare when you book, so the cost is clear from the start.
Your driver picks you up at any address in Bal Harbour you choose when booking. That can be a hotel lobby such as The St. Regis Bal Harbour or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, the entrance of a residence on Collins Avenue, or Bal Harbour Shops after an afternoon there.
Guests staying just south at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside get the same lobby pickup. Send us the building or hotel name, the entrance you prefer, and any front-desk instructions over WhatsApp. The chauffeur arrives before your start time, so the group can walk straight out. If friends are spread across two buildings, the second pickup is just another stop on the same booking. The car can also stop at a Bal Harbour Shops boutique for a last-minute outfit fix before dinner. For condo residents, the building’s drive-up circle is usually the easiest spot. Tell us which side of the tower to use, and the driver will be waiting there when you come down.
Yes. A private chauffeur hired by the hour takes your group from Bal Harbour to the concert and back in one vehicle, with the same driver the whole night.
If you’re searching for a private shuttle or car service to the concert, this is it: a Black SUV XL, Sprinter, or Platinum SUV reserved only for your party, with the chauffeur assigned to you for the full booking. Your group never rides with strangers, never waits at a meeting point with other riders, and never has to leave the show early to catch a departure. On a night that starts with dinner in Bal Harbour and ends well after the last song, a private car keeps everyone together from the first stop to the last. The plan belongs to your group, not a timetable. The two questions below cover what people usually ask next.
No. There is no timetable and no fixed list of pickup times. You choose when the chauffeur arrives in Bal Harbour, when you leave dinner, and when you head home. The service runs every day of the week, not just on certain weekdays. For this Thursday show, just tell us the time that works for your group.
Yes. Book extra hours and turn the concert into a full day out at the Seminole Hard Rock.
If you leave Bal Harbour in the early afternoon, the resort has plenty to fill the hours before showtime. There’s the landmark Guitar Hotel tower, the casino floor, shops, and a long list of restaurants and bars. You could also start with lunch and a walk along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk before heading inland. The same chauffeur keeps the car close at every stop, so your group can wander, eat, and change plans without thinking about parking or the drive back. These are ideas for how to spend your booked time. We provide the private vehicle and driver; tickets, tables, and anything at the resort are up to you. It’s a simple way to turn a weeknight show into a short getaway, with the ride home already arranged when the lights come up.
A booking for a service within the next 24 hours is locked in and held just for you, so it goes ahead exactly as agreed.
Once the day and time are set for a service inside that final 24-hour window, a driver and vehicle are already reserved for your group. On such short notice, we can’t guarantee moving the date or a refund. The upside is certainty: your slot is confirmed, and the car is already assigned to you. You also keep your flexibility. On the night itself, you can always add hours on top of what you reserved, at the same flat hourly rate, whether the encore runs long or the group wants one more stop on the way back to Bal Harbour. A concert date doesn’t move, so a confirmed car with room to extend the evening fits it well.
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.

Send us a WhatsApp message with your group size, your pickup address in Bal Harbour, and your plan for the night.
Include a rough start time and the stops you have in mind: the restaurant you’re thinking of, the concert, and any late stop after the encore. We’ll match the right vehicle, check availability, and confirm your booking. Once the fare is paid, your date is reserved and your chauffeur is assigned. Booking well before November 12 gives your group the widest choice of vehicles, particularly if you need the larger Sprinter for a large crew of fans. After that, you only have to pick outfits, charge your phones for the encore videos, and decide who gets the front seat. We’ll handle the drive there and the drive back to Bal Harbour.

If no offer is sent, the driver may leave once your free waiting time is over.
