Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Coral Gables to Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks at Kaseya Center on Saturday, December 12, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour with a 5-hour minimum. Tip-off is 8:00 PM. Your driver picks you up anywhere in Coral Gables, heads Downtown well before the game and keeps the same car ready for the ride home.
Every tier below is billed by the hour for each vehicle, and a game-night booking is at least five hours.
You pay for the vehicle, not for each passenger. A group of friends sharing one Sprinter splits a single hourly figure instead of paying seat by seat. Coral Gables fans usually plan the booking around the whole evening. That can mean an afternoon pickup at home or a hotel lobby, an early dinner near Miracle Mile, the drive Downtown, the game itself and the ride back to the front door afterward. Your main decision is the tier. Match it to your headcount and the level of comfort you want, and the driver takes care of the rest. On a night game, the only possible addition is the after-hours surcharge explained further down this page. Everything else is set when you confirm on WhatsApp, so the group can focus on the rivalry instead of the logistics.
Yes, both work. You pay the full fare when you book.
Yes. Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with 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 surcharge depends on the vehicle class, not on how many people ride. We spell it out before you pay, so nothing new appears at the end of the night. SUV groups see the flat SUV amount, and Sprinter groups see the percentage version. An afternoon pickup in Coral Gables and an early dinner on Giralda Plaza both fall well within daytime hours. Only the late part of the evening falls outside them: the final stretch of the game, the wait for the crowd to thin and the drive home from Downtown. Knowing this in advance makes budgeting simple for a group splitting the cost. Everyone sees the full picture before anyone commits, and the evening goes ahead exactly as quoted.
Heat vs. Knicks is one of the NBA’s classic Eastern Conference rivalries, and this Saturday-night game is one of the Heat’s most anticipated home dates.
The feud goes back to bruising playoff series decades ago, and recent postseason meetings have renewed it. That gives the building a playoff edge even in December. Games against marquee opponents like this one often draw a full or nearly full house. Expect heavier traffic on Biscayne Boulevard, busier garages and long exit lines once the game lets out. Before you head out, check the official Kaseya Center site for arena policies and entry updates. For a Coral Gables group, the smart move is to make the game the centerpiece of a whole evening: dinner, the drive, the game and the ride home, with one car and one driver handling every leg. Nobody has to fight for parking, nobody has to stay sober to drive home and nobody misses the opening minutes stuck in a garage line on the bay.
The crowd mirrors Miami itself. Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian and Puerto Rican families sit alongside longtime Black fan communities, local professionals and visitors in town for the weekend. Plenty of transplanted New Yorkers show up in orange and blue too. Many groups plan the whole night downtown, and that is exactly the kind of evening an hourly chauffeur is built for.
The easiest way is a private chauffeur who picks you up in Coral Gables, drops the group near the arena and waits to take everyone home.
On game night, the traffic is the real challenge, not the distance. A packed Saturday crowd pulls cars from every corner of Miami-Dade toward the same stretch of Biscayne Boulevard as tip-off approaches. The garages around the arena fill and empty in long, slow lines. With a driver, none of that is your problem. You leave from your own door, skip the garage entirely and step out close to the arena instead of walking in from a distant lot. On an ordinary evening the drive is typically a short one. On this date, allow generous extra time, because the approach roads, the bayfront boulevard and the downtown streets all obtain congested as the crowd arrives. The three questions below cover the route, the drop-off and what happens while you watch the game.
Most drives take one of two routes. The first heads north on US-1 past the edge of Coconut Grove and into Brickell, then follows Biscayne Boulevard up to the arena. The second runs up LeJeune Road to the Dolphin Expressway and cuts east into downtown. Your driver chooses between them based on that evening’s traffic and adjusts in real time as arena traffic builds.
The driver takes you as close to the venue as event-night access allows, using whichever drop-off point traffic control keeps open that evening. The group steps out together and walks straight to the entrance. The car then moves off to wait nearby instead of circling a garage, so it is close when the game ends.
Yes. Waiting is the whole point of booking by the hour. Your chauffeur stays nearby for the entire game, keeps their phone on and sends you the exact pickup point on WhatsApp before the final buzzer. When the crowd pours out, you walk to a car that is already yours instead of joining the line for the garage exit.
Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza are the natural starting points for a pre-game dinner in Coral Gables.
Giralda Plaza is a pedestrian block lined with restaurants, and Miracle Mile has a long row of dining rooms. Either makes it simple for a group to eat well and get back in the car without rushing, and the driver waits at the curb while you finish. For a more polished start, the Biltmore Hotel is a classic Coral Gables meeting spot for drinks before heading out. The Shops at Merrick Park suits a group that wants to meet, browse and eat in one place. Because the same car stays with you, you decide the order of the evening. Meet at one spot, pick up a friend at another and roll toward Downtown once the table is cleared. Nobody has to watch a parking meter, choose a designated driver or coordinate three separate cars across the city before tip-off.
Yes, as long as your booked hours allow it. Bayside Marketplace sits right beside the arena on the bay, and Brickell’s rooftop bars and late-night restaurants are a short hop south. Many groups add a post-game stop before the ride back to Coral Gables. The driver waits outside and takes everyone home when the night is done.
Leave Coral Gables well ahead of the 8:00 PM tip-off, and allow far more time than the drive needs on an ordinary night.
The biggest risk on December 12 is the last stretch into Downtown, where arena traffic, holiday-season shoppers and weekend diners all meet. Fans who want to catch warm-ups, find their seats calmly or grab something on the concourse usually plan a comfortable cushion rather than aiming to reach at tip-off. A practical approach is to work backward. Decide when you want to be inside the arena, add a buffer for the approach roads and set the Coral Gables pickup time from there. Your chauffeur knows how game nights unfold and will suggest a departure time when you confirm the booking. If dinner runs long, the driver adapts. If you are early, the group simply walks in with time to spare and soaks up the rivalry atmosphere before the opening possession.
You choose a vehicle for your group and set a start time, and the same driver stays with you for your entire booking.
Send us your group size, a rough pickup time and the stops on your list, such as dinner, a friend’s house, the arena or a post-game spot. We confirm everything on WhatsApp. The driver can pick up at any address in Miami: a hotel, a home, Miami International Airport or a PortMiami cruise terminal. A group coming off a cruise that day can go straight into the evening. For this game, the pickup is usually a residence or hotel lobby in Coral Gables, and we agree on the exact spot when you book. From there, you set the stops and the pace, and the driver waits at each one. If you still want the car when your booked hours are up, each additional hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate. There is no new fare to negotiate, just more time with the same driver.
Yes, if a car and driver are available. Once you book within the final 24 hours before pickup, your date and time are locked in and held just for you, because a driver and vehicle are already set aside. On that short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, and the evening runs as agreed. You can always add more hours on the day.
Choose the tier by headcount and by how much comfort you want for the night.
There is room for what fans usually bring, like signs, jerseys and a bag of merch from the team store. If you’re bringing something big, tell us in advance. Choosing the right tier from the start keeps the whole group in one cabin, arriving together and leaving together.
The larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries our biggest groups in a single private van. Your whole group leaves Coral Gables together, sits together on the drive and walks in together. If your headcount falls between two tiers, choose the bigger van for extra room. Either way, everyone shares one vehicle and one driver.
Fuel, tolls and parking are included, along with the vehicle and your chauffeur’s time for every hour you book.
That covers any expressway tolls on the route Downtown and the cost of keeping the car nearby while you watch the game. You pay no garage fee and have no meter to feed. Waiting time between stops is part of the booking too, so dinner, the arena and any post-game stop all fit inside the hours you reserve. Only a few things can add to the total, and each one is clear before the night begins. The after-hours surcharge covers the late part of the evening, as shown above. Any hours you add beyond your booking are billed at your vehicle’s own hourly rate. Knowing all of this upfront lets a group split the cost fairly and enjoy the game.
A private chauffeur makes a rivalry game a better experience from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, with no strangers and no shared seats. One dedicated driver stays with you from Coral Gables to the arena and back. Your chauffeur is bilingual, which helps when several guests are more comfortable in Spanish. You reach the driver and our team directly on WhatsApp, not through a call center. The hourly rate is flat and locked when you book. It doesn’t surge on a packed night and doesn’t change for traffic or weather. Above all, it is a calmer, premium service. The car is there when the buzzer sounds and the cabin is clean. Nobody in your group has to drive home after a late game downtown, and nobody spends the fourth quarter worrying about how to obtain out of the garage.
Yes. You can reserve a private chauffeur by the hour for the December 12 game, with pickup anywhere in Coral Gables and the same driver all night. Send your group size, pickup time and planned stops on WhatsApp. We confirm the vehicle, the start time and the payment, and your evening is set.
The same hourly service works for the rest of the arena’s calendar. That includes other Heat home games against teams like the Pelicans or Timberwolves and concert nights by the bay, so fans who enjoy the ride often book again for their next Downtown night. Groups interested in the venue’s all-access tour can ride over the same way. We provide the car and driver, and the arena runs the tour. The questions below cover pickup, privacy, where the service runs and traveling with pets.
The driver picks you up anywhere in Coral Gables you choose. That could be a home near the Granada Golf Course, the Biltmore lobby, an office on Ponce de Leon Boulevard or a restaurant on Miracle Mile. You share the address when you book, and the driver arrives at that door and messages you on WhatsApp once the car is outside.
It is completely private. The vehicle and chauffeur you book carry only your group, with no pooled seats, extra pickups or strangers joining on the way Downtown. That applies to every tier, from the Black SUV XL to the largest Sprinter, and it is the only way we operate.
This hourly service is a local, on-call service that stays around the city. It covers Coral Gables, Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana and the area around Miami International Airport, plus nearby areas up toward Fort Lauderdale. It doesn’t run out to Naples, Orlando or West Palm Beach, which keeps your driver close and unhurried all night.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
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.
