Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Miami Beach to El Gran Combo at Watsco Center on Friday, November 27, 2026, in a Black SUV XL or a larger vehicle at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver picks you up at any address in Miami Beach, drops you near the entrance before the 7:00 PM start, and waits to bring everyone home after the last encore.
Each vehicle is priced by the hour, and every concert-night booking runs for at least five hours.
You pay the rate for the whole vehicle, not for each seat. A full Sprinter splits the evening across more friends than a half-empty one, and the Platinum SUV gives a smaller party the most polished ride we offer. The block is a starting point, not a cap. A night that starts with an early dinner in South Beach and ends after the final encore often runs past it, and the car simply stays with you. Pick your tier by headcount first, then by the feel you want for the arrival. The figure on this list is what you pay per hour for the vehicle you choose.
Match the vehicle to your headcount, from a Black SUV XL to a full Sprinter.
There’s usually plenty of room for what concertgoers bring, like a light jacket, a birthday banner, or merch from the show. If you plan to bring something big, tell us in advance. Groups often grow at the last minute on a holiday weekend, so size up to the next tier if a cousin or two might join.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours on show night.
To start, send a WhatsApp message with your group size, a rough start time, and the stops you want, whether that’s dinner first, collecting a friend, or going straight to the concert. The driver can pick up at any Miami address, including a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home, and you agree on the exact spot when you book. From the first pickup, the same chauffeur and vehicle stay with your group for the full block, follow the stops you set, and adjust if plans change mid-evening. After the five-hour block, every extra hour is added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle, with no renegotiated fare and no new booking. You can keep the car as long as the night lasts and settle the extra time once the day wraps up.
Your group gets a private vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a rate locked at booking.
The vehicle is reserved for your party alone and never shared with strangers, so the cabin becomes your own pre-show lounge. Every chauffeur speaks English and Spanish, so grandparents and visiting relatives can talk to the driver in the language they prefer. The flat hourly rate is fixed when you book. It doesn’t change for holiday-weekend traffic, rain, or a full arena letting out at once, and there’s never a surge. One dedicated driver handles the whole evening, stays through the show, and keeps a direct WhatsApp line open with your group, so a change of plans takes one message. That’s what upscale service looks like on a concert night: a better experience from the first pickup to the last drop-off, with nothing left for the group to manage.
El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico plays Coral Gables on Friday, November 27, 2026, at 7:00 PM.
The show falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, a holiday weekend when families, cousins, and old friends plan nights out together, and a big-band salsa concert is exactly that kind of night. Fans come ready to dance to classic tropical salsa, the brass-driven standards that have filled Puerto Rican and Miami dance floors for generations, and many dress the part. The holiday weekend puts more cars on the road and more groups in restaurants, so reserving your vehicle early is the simplest way to get the tier you want. Check show details and venue updates on the official El Gran Combo event page. Then plan the rest of the evening around the start time, from pickup to the final song and the ride back to Miami Beach.
El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico is one of the most famous salsa orchestras in the world. Fans call it the University of Salsa, a nickname earned over a long career, and its catalog of dance-floor standards spans generations. A live show is a full big-band experience, with horns, percussion, and singers trading lines across the stage.
The crowd spans several generations: grandparents who danced to these songs decades ago, their children, and grandchildren who learned the lyrics at family parties. Puerto Rican families and salsa lovers from across Latin Miami turn out alongside couples and birthday groups. That’s why a single Sprinter that keeps everyone together often makes more sense than several separate cars.
The arena is on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, so show traffic mixes with campus streets and the surrounding Coral Gables neighborhoods. Expect busy approaches before the start and a crowded exit afterward. Read the venue’s building policies before you go, because the arena sets its own bag and entry rules.
Your chauffeur crosses Biscayne Bay to the mainland, then heads south to Coral Gables.
From South Beach, the usual route is the MacArthur Causeway, while pickups in Mid-Beach or North Beach often use the Julia Tuttle Causeway. Both connect to I-95, and from there the drive continues south toward the University of Miami campus by way of South Dixie Highway. Your driver picks the route based on live traffic, which matters on a holiday Friday when the causeways, Brickell, and the roads into Coral Gables all carry heavier evening traffic. The drive typically takes longer on an event night than on a quiet weekday, so allow more time than you think you need. Nobody in your group has to watch the map, hunt for a campus lot, or stay sober to drive everyone home after a night of dancing. The chauffeur handles the road from the Miami Beach curb to the arena and back.
Leave Miami Beach well before the 7:00 PM start, earlier than a normal weekday drive would suggest, because holiday-weekend traffic and the arena crowd build at the same time. If dinner comes first, start the booking in the late afternoon. Arriving early just gives you more time to settle in, since the car and driver are already reserved for the block.
The driver drops your group as close to the venue entrance as event-night access allows, so you step out and walk straight in instead of circling for parking. If campus traffic staff send vehicles to a specific drop-off point on show night, your chauffeur follows those directions and tells you where the pickup point will be afterward.
Yes. The same driver waits nearby for the entire concert, which is the whole point of booking by the hour. When the last song ends, send a WhatsApp message and your chauffeur meets the group at the agreed pickup point, then drives everyone back to their Miami Beach hotel or home.
Pickup happens at any address in Miami Beach, agreed when you book.
Most concert-night pickups start at a hotel along Collins Avenue or Ocean Drive. The driver pulls into the hotel driveway and sends a WhatsApp message once the vehicle is out front. Condo towers in Mid-Beach and North Beach work the same way, as do homes in Sunset Harbour, on Normandy Isle, or on the quieter residential streets near Flamingo Park. Tell us the building name and anything unusual about it, such as a valet lane or a side entrance, and the driver plans around it. If your group is gathering at someone’s home first, offer us that address and the driver will go there instead. Your group, dressed for dancing, walks from the lobby into a cool, clean cabin instead of a hot parking garage, and the evening starts as soon as the doors close.
Yes, a cruise-day arrival can go straight into concert night. The chauffeur meets you at the PortMiami cruise terminal, takes you across the MacArthur Causeway to check in at your Miami Beach hotel, then continues to dinner and the show. It’s all one hourly booking, with the same driver from the dock to the final drop-off.
South Beach, Lincoln Road, and Coral Gables all work well for a group dinner before the show.
For a classic Miami Beach send-off, many families pick Joe’s Stone Crab near the southern tip of South Beach for a special night. Lincoln Road’s pedestrian mall has plenty of casual and upscale tables for a group that wants to linger outdoors before heading west. If you want the evening to feel Cuban-Miami, stop in Little Havana on the way, where the coffee windows and family restaurants suit the music to come. If you’d rather eat close to the arena, Coral Gables’ Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza put dinner a short hop from campus. Wherever you go, the driver waits outside while you eat, so there’s no valet line, no parking garage, and no rush to finish dessert. You reserve the tables; we handle the car, the timing, and the route between stops.
Yes, dinner and the concert fit easily into one hourly booking. The chauffeur picks up your group in Miami Beach, waits through the meal, drives on to the show, and handles the ride home, all in the same vehicle. Start the block early enough that you can eat without watching the clock before the 7:00 PM start.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips outside that window carry an add-on that depends on the vehicle type.
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. On the SUV it’s one flat add-on per trip, not a charge per hour. On the Sprinter it’s a percentage of the trip value. Early pickups and the dinner stop still fall within daytime hours, and the hourly rate itself stays the same after dark. Mention your planned end time when you book so the full cost of the evening, including this add-on, is clear from the start.
You can pay by phone, with the details handled over WhatsApp.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into the hourly rate for the whole booking.
That covers the causeway drive, any tolls along the way, and the parking your chauffeur needs throughout the evening, so you never get a separate garage receipt. Your group pays the hourly rate for the vehicle and nothing more for the miles driven between stops. A few items can add to the total, and each one is clear up front: the night surcharge above for trips outside daytime hours, and any hours you choose to add past the block. Concert tickets, restaurant bills, and table reservations are separate, because we provide the private vehicle and chauffeur, not a ticketed package. Your driver will gladly suggest a dinner spot or a late-night stop, but booking those is up to you.
Yes, a private chauffeured vehicle can take your group from Miami Beach to the concert.
If you were picturing a private shuttle to the show, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter reserved only for your group is exactly that, with no other passengers and no fixed departure schedule. Smaller parties get the same arrangement in the Black SUV XL or the Platinum SUV. Compared with driving yourself, booking by the hour removes the questions that usually spoil a concert night: who finds parking on a busy campus, who sits in the exit line, and who skips the dancing to drive everyone home. You can book a private driver from Miami Beach for just the concert or for the whole evening. The car also works as a meeting point, so friends coming from different parts of Miami Beach start the night together instead of texting each other from separate parking lots. The questions below cover what guests ask most once the plan takes shape.
Yes. You set the stops, so the driver can pick up part of your group at a South Beach hotel and the rest at a condo in North Beach or a home on Normandy Isle before heading to the show. List every pickup address when you book, and leave a little extra time at the start of the block for each one.
This hourly service stays local. It 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. It’s an on-call, unhurried service that stays around the city, so hourly bookings don’t go out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
A booking for a service within the next 24 hours is locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside for your group. On such short notice, we can’t guarantee moving the date or a refund, and the evening runs as agreed. You can always add more hours right on the night.
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.

Driver gratuity is optional and at your discretion; it’s always welcome.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
Note: any refund claim — including a driver no-show or another service issue — must reach us within 30 days of your scheduled pickup. Requests made more than a month after the ride date are no longer eligible for review or refund.
