Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Hollywood Beach to El Gran Combo at Watsco Center on November 27, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver picks you up at any address in Hollywood Beach, gets you to the arena for the 7:00 PM start, stays with you through the salsa, and drives everyone home.
You pay by the hour for the vehicle, and every booking covers at least five hours.
Your hours start at the pickup time you agree on in Hollywood Beach and end at the last drop-off. That means the drive south, a relaxed dinner, the concert, and the ride back all fit in one booking. Relatives sharing the night can split a family Sprinter, and the Black SUV XL keeps things simple for a couple or a small group. Families celebrating the holiday weekend often start early, and that just means their hours begin a little sooner. Choosing a tier comes down to how many people are coming and how much comfort you want. The vehicle guide further down covers both.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in the hourly rate.
That adds up on this route. The drive south from Broward often uses tolled express lanes, and nobody wants to deal with campus parking next to a busy arena on a holiday Friday. None of it shows up on your bill. The rate also covers your chauffeur’s time for the whole booking, so the hours the driver waits during dinner and the show are part of the block you reserved, not a separate charge. There’s room for what concertgoers actually carry, like a light jacket, a change of shoes for dancing, or a homemade sign for the band, and if you plan to bring something bigger, just tell us in advance. Concert tickets and restaurant reservations aren’t part of the booking. We provide the private vehicle and the driver. The only charge that can be added on top is the night surcharge, explained further down.
El Gran Combo plays Watsco Center on Friday, November 27, 2026, at 7:00 PM.
The Puerto Rican orchestra is often called the University of Salsa and is one of the most celebrated salsa bands in the world. Its shows are big-band dance parties built on decades of classics that whole families know by heart. The date falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, when relatives are in town and groups go out together: grandparents who saw the band years ago, cousins who grew up on these records, couples who came to dance. That mix is why a private vehicle makes sense. One Sprinter or SUV keeps three generations together, nobody has to skip a celebratory drink so they can drive back up to Broward, and nobody misses the opening numbers looking for a space on campus. The arena is on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, which is a long drive south of the beach on a holiday weekend. Check the official El Gran Combo event page for ticket and entry details before you go.
The crowd spans generations and is proudly Caribbean: Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, and Colombian families, salsa dancers in their best shoes, and longtime fans who have followed the band for most of their lives. Expect dancing in the aisles and every chorus sung back to the stage. Many groups dress up, which is one more reason to arrive by private car.
Leave Hollywood Beach well before showtime, and build dinner into the trip.
The drive south typically takes the better part of an hour in light traffic. Permit a lot more time on a holiday-weekend Friday evening, when I-95 through Broward and downtown Miami fills with shoppers and families heading out. Most groups set a late-afternoon pickup, eat somewhere along the way, and reach Coral Gables with time to find their seats before the band comes on. Since the car is booked by the hour, leaving early doesn’t add parking costs or a rushed scramble. The extra time just becomes part of your evening. Your chauffeur watches traffic on the way and may suggest leaving a little earlier if the roads look heavy. Arriving early also means you miss the last-minute crowd at the entrance and can settle in with a drink before the first song. A calm start sets the tone for the whole night.
The usual route heads west from the beach on Hollywood Boulevard or Sheridan Street to I-95, then south past downtown Miami, where the highway becomes US-1 toward Coral Gables. When traffic is heavy, the driver may use Florida’s Turnpike or the Palmetto Expressway instead. You don’t need to think about any of it, because the chauffeur picks the best road at the time.
Your driver gets you as close to the venue as access allows and follows the campus’s event-night traffic directions, so your group steps out together near the entrance instead of walking in from a far-off lot. Before you go inside, you’ll agree on a pickup spot for later and confirm you can reach each other on WhatsApp, so finding the car after the show is quick.
Yes, that’s the reason to book by the hour. Your chauffeur stays nearby with the vehicle for the entire concert, keeps an eye on WhatsApp, and is ready when the last encore ends. You won’t be looking for a ride in a crowd leaving the arena. The same driver who brought you down from Hollywood Beach takes your group straight home.
Hollywood Beach and Downtown Hollywood both have easy pre-show dinner spots close to your pickup.
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the sand, lined with casual oceanfront restaurants and cafes that work well for an early bite as the light fades over the water. Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is right on the Broadwalk and makes an easy meeting point if part of your group is staying there. A little inland, Downtown Hollywood has a lively, local strip of restaurants and bars along Hollywood Boulevard near Young Circle. If you’d rather eat closer to the show, have the driver head south first and have dinner in Coral Gables, where Miracle Mile is lined with restaurants a short drive from the arena. Wherever you choose, the car waits outside, so dinner goes at your pace and nobody has to feed a parking meter. These are only suggestions for your booked hours, and you make your own reservations. Tell the chauffeur where you’re eating, and the evening’s timing gets planned around it.
Yes. Most Hollywood Beach groups do exactly that. Pickup, dinner, the concert, and the ride home all fit in one hourly booking with the same car and driver. Tell us the restaurant when you book, and the chauffeur will plan the timing around your reservation so you still reach the venue comfortably before the music starts.
For salsa fans, definitely. Little Havana is close to the route south, and its main strip of Cuban cafes, cigar shops, and music drifting out of doorways sets the mood for a salsa night. Get a strong Cuban coffee and a pastry, walk around for a bit, and your driver waits nearby until you’re ready to head to the concert.
Yes. Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and trips outside them carry a surcharge. For this concert, that usually means the ride home.
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’s easiest to plan for the surcharge from the beginning. SUV bookings pay one fixed amount per trip, not an extra amount per hour, and Sprinter bookings pay a percentage of the trip value, both shown in full above. Nothing else changes for the late finish. The hourly rate stays the same after dark, and the surcharge appears once on your total. It’s already included when you confirm your booking on WhatsApp, so the amount you agree to is the amount you pay.
A private vehicle reserved just for your group makes for a better experience from pickup to drop-off.
The car is yours alone, with no strangers and no shared seats, and the same chauffeur, who speaks English and Spanish, stays with you all evening. Your hourly rate is flat and locked in when you book, so a packed holiday-weekend crowd or a slow I-95 never changes the price. You message your driver directly on WhatsApp, which makes meeting up after the last song simple even with phones buzzing and the crowd pouring out. One vehicle, one driver, and one fixed rate is what upscale service means to us. Grandparents ride in a clean, comfortable cabin, dancers save their energy for the aisles, and the person who would have been the designated driver gets to sing every chorus with everyone else. It’s a better service built around how families actually celebrate a night like this, so the evening is about the music, not the logistics.
You choose a vehicle, set a pickup time, and keep that car all evening.
First, pick the vehicle that fits your group. Then send us your start time and the stops you have in mind on WhatsApp, such as a dinner spot, a friend’s condo, and the concert. The booking covers a five-hour block, and the same chauffeur stays with you from the first pickup to the last drop-off, waiting at every stop along the way. You decide the route and the pace. If the night is going well and nobody wants it to end, keep the car. Every hour after the five-hour block is simply added at the same per-hour rate, with no new fare to negotiate, and you settle it once the night is over. That makes a nightcap in Downtown Hollywood or a late bite on the way home an easy yes instead of a second booking. Your confirmation arrives on WhatsApp, with every detail written down.
Wherever you like. You agree on the pickup spot when you book. Most riders leave from a hotel lobby along the Broadwalk, a condo on A1A, or a family home in Hollywood. The driver can just as easily pick you up at any Miami address, including Miami International Airport or a PortMiami cruise terminal if you’re arriving that day and want to go straight to the show.
Yes. The itinerary is never locked. Add a stop for a friend who’s joining late, skip dessert if dinner runs long, or stay at the arena a while longer as the crowd clears. Just tell your chauffeur, and if the schedule allows, the change happens right then, with no new fare and no paperwork.
Four private vehicle tiers cover everything from a couple to a large family group.
Every vehicle comes with a chauffeur. We never hand over the keys, and each one is booked privately for your group only. If your headcount falls between two tiers, go with the larger one: the extra space makes the late ride home much more comfortable when everyone is tired and happy. Send us your final count on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm the right vehicle before the night.
You pay the full fare up front, and any extra time is settled after the night ends.
Your slot is locked in and held just for you. When a booking falls within the final 24 hours, a driver and vehicle are already set aside for your group, so the date and time stay as agreed. On such short notice, we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund. You can still add more hours on the day, at the same rate.
The hourly service stays local, covering Miami and nearby communities up toward Fort Lauderdale.
That includes Hollywood Beach and the drive south through Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, and the area around Miami International Airport. Staying close to home is what lets your chauffeur stay on call all evening without rushing, moving between a Hollywood dinner, the concert in Coral Gables, and a nightcap on the way back without watching the clock. We don’t run this hourly service out to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach. It’s built for nights like this one, around the city and the beaches you’re already enjoying. For a concert night that moves between Broward and Miami-Dade, that local focus fits well. Your driver knows these roads, including the faster routes, the usual slow spots, and the best places to wait while you dance.
The arena is an intimate indoor venue on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables.
For a salsa show, that size works in the crowd’s favor. The sound fills the room, the stage feels close, and the energy builds fast once the horn section starts. Because it’s on a working college campus rather than in a downtown nightlife district, there are fewer bars and restaurants next to the building, which is why many concertgoers have dinner somewhere else first. Expect fans in their best outfits, families in matching shirts, and plenty of dancing in the aisles from the first song. Read the venue’s posted entry policies before you go, since the arena sets those rules, not us. Most of the audience leaves at the same time after the last song, which is when a car already waiting for you makes the biggest difference. Plan your arrival, dinner, and the ride home around that, and the night goes smoothly from start to finish.
Yes. We provide a private chauffeur by the hour from any address in Hollywood Beach to the concert and back, in a vehicle reserved only for your group. There are no shared seats and no fixed departure times. You choose the start time, the stops, and the vehicle, and the same driver stays with your group all night.
Yes, a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter does exactly that. It takes a large family or a group of friends from Hollywood Beach to the show and back together, with no strangers on board and no fixed schedule. Everyone rides, arrives, and leaves at the same time, so you don’t have to coordinate several cars through a holiday-weekend crowd.
Yes. Drop-offs at the end of the night are as flexible as the pickup. One person can go back to a Hollywood Beach hotel, another to a relative’s home in Hollywood, and a third to Fort Lauderdale. Your driver handles each stop in order during your booked hours, so everyone in your group gets home without a second ride.
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.

Send us three quick details on WhatsApp to check availability.

Thanksgiving weekend gets busy across South Florida, so confirming early gives your group the widest choice of vehicles and pickup times.

From the first chorus to the last song of the night, the ride is one less thing anyone in your family has to think about.
