Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Coral Gables to Boston College Eagles at Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, November 28, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour with a 5-hour minimum. Kickoff is 7:00 PM, and the same chauffeur covers your pregame dinner in the Gables, the run north to Miami Gardens, and the ride home.
Rates are set per vehicle, per hour, with a five-hour minimum on every game-day booking.
Pick the line that matches your headcount. Each hourly figure covers the entire vehicle rather than each seat, so a full Sprinter of friends or alumni splits one number instead of everyone paying their own way. Couples and small families leaving the Gables usually settle into the Black SUV XL, while larger watch-party crews move up to a Sprinter so the whole group walks in together. The Platinum SUV suits hosts bringing clients or relatives in town for Thanksgiving weekend who want a more polished cabin. If your headcount lands between two tiers, size up so nobody rides squeezed into the back row. Out-of-town relatives fit into the plan easily too: one vehicle holds the whole family instead of splitting everyone across separate cars.
A private chauffeur means nobody in your group has to drive, park, or be the designated driver.
Your vehicle is reserved for your party alone, and one dedicated chauffeur stays with you from the first pickup in Coral Gables to the last drop-off at home. The flat hourly rate is locked the moment you book, with no surge for a holiday-weekend crowd or a slow crawl on the Palmetto. Your bilingual chauffeur speaks English and Spanish, so grandparents, cousins, and friends visiting for Thanksgiving all feel at ease in the car. During the game the driver waits for you instead of vanishing, which means the plan for getting home is settled before kickoff. You also get direct WhatsApp contact for timing changes or a quick heads-up that the group is running late. Put together, that is what we mean by premium service: fewer moving parts, one familiar face, and a better experience for everyone who came to cheer on the Canes.
You reserve one vehicle and chauffeur for a block of hours, then shape the day yourself.
Start by matching the vehicle to your headcount, then send a rough start time and the stops on your wish list over WhatsApp. The opening block is five hours, and within it the itinerary belongs entirely to you: a pregame dinner, a detour to collect a friend in Coconut Grove, then the run north to Miami Gardens. Add a stop, drop one, or linger longer than planned, and the chauffeur simply adjusts. A 7:00 PM night game with dinner beforehand can run past that first block, and that is completely fine. After those five hours, every additional hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle, so you can keep the car for as long as the night lasts. Tell the driver when you are ready to head home, and that is when the day ends.
Your chauffeur meets you at any address in Coral Gables, whether that is the lobby of The Biltmore, a home off Miracle Mile, or an apartment near the University of Miami campus, and the exact spot is agreed when you book. The same goes for anywhere else in Miami: a PortMiami cruise terminal, where a cruise-day arrival can head straight to the game, the arrivals curb at Miami International Airport, or a relative’s house across town.
Paying the full fare up front secures your date.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in the hourly rate for your entire booking.
That matters more on a game Saturday than on almost any other day of the year. Tolls on the expressways between Coral Gables and Miami Gardens are covered, and so is the fuel for any loop you add, whether that means a pregame stop in Coconut Grove or a late drop-off for a friend in Brickell. Parking is part of the rate as well, so the chauffeur’s game-day parking near the stadium never shows up as a separate line on your bill. Only a few charges sit outside the hourly rate. 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 chauffeur’s time and the vehicle itself are already inside the number you booked.
Your chauffeur drives north to Miami Gardens, drops you close, then waits to bring you home.
November 28 falls on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, and this ACC matchup is the Hurricanes’ final regular-season home game of 2026, so anticipate a big crowd and heavier traffic than on an ordinary weekend. For Coral Gables fans, the case for a chauffeur is simple: the trip crosses a wide stretch of Miami-Dade, and the final approach into Miami Gardens is exactly where game-day traffic bunches up. Your driver handles that stretch while the group talks matchups, checks scores from around the ACC, and gets into full orange-and-green mode. Official venue details, including bag and entry policies, are posted by Hard Rock Stadium and are worth a read before you leave the house. The answers below walk through the route, the timing, the drop-off, and the ride home, so everyone in the car knows the plan before the first pickup.
On most game days the chauffeur picks up the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) from Bird Road or the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) and heads north toward Miami Gardens, finishing on local roads such as NW 27th Avenue. When the Palmetto backs up, I-95 is the usual alternative. The driver chooses the route based on live traffic, so nobody in the group has to watch a map.
Allow a generous buffer. On an ordinary weekend the drive from the Gables is straightforward, but on a game Saturday traffic typically thickens well before the stadium comes into view, and entry lines take time of their own. Rolling out in the late afternoon leaves room to find your seats, soak in the atmosphere, and catch warmups without rushing.
The chauffeur brings your group as close to the venue as game-day access allows, usually the drop-off point nearest your entrance, following whatever routing traffic control sets that evening. Before anyone steps out, the driver confirms the post-game meeting spot and shares it on WhatsApp, so the whole group leaves the car knowing exactly where to regroup later.
Yes, and that is the whole point of booking by the hour. Your chauffeur stays with the vehicle nearby for the entire game and is ready when you walk out. Leave jackets in the car, message the driver if you plan to beat the crowd out early, and ride straight back to Coral Gables once the Canes wrap it up.
Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza give Coral Gables groups easy pregame dinner options near pickup.
Giralda Plaza, the pedestrian dining street just off Miracle Mile, works as a natural meeting point: tables spill outdoors, and a big group can settle in for a meal before the drive north. Miracle Mile itself suits an early, relaxed dinner or a coffee while the last friends arrive. Families with younger fans frequently favor The Shops at Merrick Park, where parents grab a bite while kids browse. Groups with University of Miami ties can start near campus and turn the pregame into a quick reunion before everyone piles into the car. Your chauffeur stays close while you eat, keeps jackets and bags stowed in the vehicle, and pulls up the moment the check is settled. Every place named here is simply a suggestion from drivers who know the neighborhood; we provide the car and chauffeur, and reservations stay in your hands.
Yes, as long as the schedule allows. Coconut Grove sits right next door for a bayfront drink or a stroll around CocoWalk, and plenty of Cuban-American families like a stop at Versailles in Little Havana for coffee and pastries before a big game. The chauffeur loops between stops and keeps an eye on the clock, so the detour fits around kickoff.
Coral Gables crews range from UM alumni and students to families and longtime season-ticket holders.
The Canes’ last regular-season home game draws the full spread of South Florida: Cuban-American families three generations deep, Caribbean and Latin American households, fans of every background who have followed the team for decades, lifelong locals who never attended the university, students, and alumni back in town for the holiday. Coral Gables sits close to the center of that crowd, because the University of Miami calls the city home. That mix shapes how people book. Grandparents appreciate a relaxing SUV and a driver who takes the ride at their pace. Friend groups in their twenties to forties want everyone in one car so nobody splits off. Longtime season-ticket holders who have made the drive for years mostly want to stop dreading the slow crawl home. Whoever makes up your party, the vehicle belongs to your group from start to finish, so nobody ends the night scrambling for a way back to the Gables.
Yes. Alumni groups are a natural fit for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, in whichever size matches the headcount. Everyone boards at one Coral Gables address, rides up together, and comes home together, so the reunion keeps going from the first toast to the last story on the drive back. Send the headcount and pickup point over WhatsApp to lock in the right vehicle.
Four private tiers cover every Coral Gables group, from a couple to a full alumni chapter.
Choose by headcount first, then by the kind of cabin you want for a big night out.
Every tier has room for what fans actually carry, from a cooler and homemade signs to fresh Canes merch, so just tell us in advance if you are bringing something big.
Daytime rides from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips outside those hours add the amounts below.
For the SUV it is one set amount per trip; for a Sprinter it is a percentage of the trip value. Because both terms are listed right here on the page, you can build them into the group budget before any payment changes hands. Split across a full car, it is one more shared line item, and it lets every person in the group enjoy the result instead of worrying about the drive. Nothing else about the night changes after dark: the same chauffeur who dropped you off takes the group back down to Coral Gables.
Yes, a private SUV or Sprinter, booked by the hour, takes Coral Gables fans to the game.
Searches for a private shuttle, a car service, or a hired driver for the Canes game all lead to the same answer: one vehicle and one chauffeur reserved for your group from the moment you leave home until you walk back through the door. Every leg of the night lives in a single booking, from the pickup in the Gables and a dinner stop on the way to the run up to Miami Gardens and the drive home, instead of a patchwork of separate trips at each end. That difference shows most at the end of the evening, when the whole crowd empties out at once and a plan made in advance beats anything improvised in a parking lot. It also suits relatives visiting Coral Gables for Thanksgiving weekend who have never driven these expressways. The answers below cover the practical details fans ask about before they book.
Yes. The hourly service stays local and close by around the city, covering 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. Far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach aren’t part of this hourly service, which keeps your driver nearby and unhurried.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Your slot is locked in and held just for you. For service within the next 24 hours, a driver and vehicle are already set aside, so the date and time run exactly as agreed, and on such short notice a date change or refund can’t be guaranteed. One thing never changes: you can always add more hours right on the day.
No. Every booking is private, so the vehicle carries only your group and the people you invite. There are no extra pickups, no strangers on board, and no fixed schedule to follow. You choose who rides, where the day starts, and when it ends, whether that means a couple of friends or a full Sprinter of alumni.
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.

Booking takes a few WhatsApp messages and a payment to hold your Saturday.
Send your group size, a rough start time, your Coral Gables pickup address, and the stops on your wish list, whether that is dinner on Giralda Plaza, a detour for a friend in Coconut Grove, or a straight shot to the game. We match the vehicle to your headcount, confirm the plan in writing, and share the payment options. Thanksgiving weekend fills up with family visits and a big home game, so reaching out early makes it easy to lock in the tier you want. Once the payment is in, your chauffeur has everything needed: the pickup, the plan, and the timing. On November 28, all your group has to do is put on orange and green, walk out the door, and let someone else handle the road.
