Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Miami Beach to Miami City Ballet at Adrienne Arsht Center on October 16, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour with a 5-hour minimum. Your chauffeur collects you anywhere in Miami Beach, gets you across the causeway for the 7:30 PM curtain, waits through the performance, and drives everyone home — no parking, no surge.
Each tier below is billed by the hour, and every booking runs a minimum of five hours.
Pick the tier that matches your party, and that hourly figure covers the car and the chauffeur for as long as you keep them. A couple heading to opening night usually fits the Black SUV XL comfortably, while a family or a circle of friends can move up to a Sprinter so everyone arrives together and leaves together. The Platinum SUV suits hosts who want the most polished arrival on Biscayne Boulevard. Because a ballet evening effortlessly fills five hours once you add a relaxed dinner in Miami Beach, the crossing, the performance, and the ride home, the minimum block usually matches the night you already had in mind. Each rate applies per vehicle, not per person, so a fuller car means a smaller share for every guest.
You reserve by paying the full fare at booking.
A reserved chauffeur turns ballet night into one smooth evening with nothing to park.
The vehicle is private, reserved for your group alone, and never shared. Your chauffeur is bilingual, so directions, small requests, and simple conversation flow in whichever language your guests favor. The hourly rate is flat and locked the moment you book, so a busy Friday downtown, a slow causeway, or a rain shower does not move the price, and there is never a surge. One driver stays with you from the first pickup to the last drop-off and waits out the performance, so nobody slips out early to fetch a car. You message that driver directly on WhatsApp for anything: a dinner running long, one more guest, a stop you forgot. That is the premium service we build every evening around — a better experience you notice in small details, like a clean, quiet cabin after the final bow and a familiar face waiting at the curb.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Outside that window, a night surcharge applies by 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. For an SUV it is one set amount per journey rather than per hour, so it does not climb if the group lingers over a nightcap before heading back to Miami Beach. On the Sprinter it is a percentage of the journey value, so it moves in step with the booking itself. Either way, the surcharge is spelled out when you confirm your booking, so the full picture for the evening is clear before anyone steps into the car. Afternoon and early-evening hours inside the daytime window carry nothing extra, which is one more reason an early dinner on the beach side makes a relaxed start to the night.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in the hourly rate.
The crossing over the bay, any toll along the way, and parking while your chauffeur waits downtown are already part of what you pay, so nobody reaches for a card at a garage kiosk. The rate also covers the vehicle and the chauffeur’s full time, including the stretch of the evening when the car sits through the performance. One brief comfort stop — a restroom break, a snack, a moment to stretch — is simple to ask for and leaves the rate untouched. There is room for what a ballet evening really involves: coats, a garment bag if someone is changing after work, flowers to celebrate the night; just tell us in advance if you plan to bring something big. Only two things can add to the total: the night surcharge above and hours you select to add past your block. Nothing else appears on the bill.
Miami City Ballet opens its season with American Rhythms, a expert mixed-repertory program.
The evening begins with a George Balanchine classic, continues with a world premiere by former company principal dancer Patricia Delgado, and closes with the company’s first staging of Jerome Robbins’ jazz-influenced N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz. It is also the first season under new Artistic Director Gonzalo Garcia, which gives this opening Friday a genuine sense of occasion. Performances take place in the Ziff Ballet Opera House, the main hall of the Adrienne Arsht Center, where the company is a resident. The curtain rises at 7:30 PM. For riders starting in Miami Beach, that makes the evening simple to plan: the performance is fixed, and everything around it — dinner, the crossing, the ride home — is yours to shape with a driver who keeps the whole night moving at your pace.
Opening night draws Miami’s arts-patron crowd: season subscribers, longtime supporters of the company, and couples and friends making a dressed-up evening of it. Most guests treat the night as an occasion, which is exactly why a private car suits it — nobody circles a garage in evening shoes or rushes the last course to beat causeway traffic.
Your chauffeur picks up at any address in Miami Beach, agreed when you book.
Most ballet evenings start at a hotel lobby or main entrance along Collins Avenue or Ocean Drive, where the driver pulls up at the agreed time and sends a WhatsApp message the moment the car is at the curb. Condo towers in the South of Fifth blocks, homes on the Venetian Islands, and residences in Mid-Beach and North Beach work just as well; the driver comes to your door rather than asking you to walk to a corner. Visitors in a short-term apartment near Flamingo Park or Lincoln Road merely share the address, plus any detail that helps, such as a side entrance or a building name. Because the car is reserved for your group alone, there is no stranger’s car to match and no pickup window to chase; if someone is still fixing a cufflink, the car merely waits, and the evening begins on your timing.
Yes. Add each pickup to your plan when you book — one couple at a South Beach hotel, friends at a Mid-Beach residence — and the chauffeur collects everyone in turn before crossing to downtown. The vehicle stays private to your party the whole time; the only passengers are the guests you invited.
Lincoln Road and Sunset Harbour are the easiest Miami Beach dinner districts before the ballet.
Lincoln Road’s pedestrian promenade lines up restaurants with outdoor tables, and your chauffeur can wait at the nearest cross street while you eat. Sunset Harbour, on the bay side of South Beach, is a quieter neighborhood of bistros close to the causeway approaches, which makes the crossing afterward feel effortless. For a waterfront meal, the South of Fifth blocks near South Pointe suit an early start. Groups marking an occasion frequently favor the dining rooms of the grand hotels along Collins Avenue. If you would rather eat on the mainland, the Design District and Edgewater restaurants sit just north of the venue, and the driver merely loops back downtown before the curtain. These are ideas rather than reservations — you book the table, and the car and driver handle every leg around it, waiting outside each stop so nobody worries about parking or timing between courses and curtain.
Yes — one hourly booking covers it all: the pickup at your door, dinner with the car waiting outside, the crossing downtown, the performance, and the ride home. A relaxed dinner-and-ballet evening usually fits within the minimum block, and if dessert runs long, you simply keep the car a little longer.
Yes. You set the stops, so after the final bow the chauffeur can take the group to a rooftop lounge in Brickell, a hotel bar back on Collins Avenue, or a late table in Wynwood before the last drop-off in Miami Beach. Every stop happens inside your booked hours, with the car waiting at each one.
Permit a generous cushion and leave Miami Beach well ahead of the 7:30 PM curtain.
The crossing to downtown is typically short on a quiet evening, but a Friday rush toward Biscayne Boulevard, a slow lane on the causeway, or a bridge opening can stretch it without warning, so build in extra time rather than counting on a clear run. A relaxed plan has your group stepping out of the car with time to pick up tickets, locate your seats, and settle in before the lights go down, instead of rushing through the lobby. Your chauffeur keeps an eye on traffic and tells you on WhatsApp when it is time to ask for the check, so dinner never runs into curtain time. If you want to walk the plaza, take photos, or savor a drink before the performance, merely start earlier; the hourly block moves with you.
From South Beach, the chauffeur typically takes the MacArthur Causeway onto I-395, which lands close to Biscayne Boulevard near the venue. From Mid-Beach or North Beach, the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195) is often the smoother line, and the Venetian Causeway serves as a quieter alternate. Your driver picks whichever is moving best that evening.
Your driver brings the group curbside as close to the Ziff Ballet Opera House entrance as access allows, so no one walks in from a distant garage in evening clothes. Before you step out, your chauffeur agrees the pickup point for after the show, so finding the car later takes a single WhatsApp message.
Yes. Your chauffeur stays nearby for the entire performance and keeps the phone on for anyone who steps out early. When the curtain falls, send a quick message and the car returns to the agreed spot, ready to take the group home to Miami Beach or on to one more stop.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, then shape the evening.
Start by choosing the tier that fits your group, then send us the headcount, a rough start time, and the stops on your wish list over WhatsApp. The booking opens with the five-hour block, and from the first pickup the vehicle and driver are yours alone until the last drop-off. The pickup spot is agreed at booking, and the driver can collect you at any Miami address — a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal on the day your ship comes in (straight to the performance, if you like), Miami International Airport, or a home. From there you set the stops and the pace: add a gallery visit, drop a planned drink, or linger over dinner, and the plan adjusts without any new fare to agree. Every leg of the night is handled for you, so the only thing anyone needs to track is the curtain time.
Yes. Every additional hour after the 5-hour block is simply added at the same flat per-hour rate for your vehicle — one more hour costs one more hour, never a renegotiated fare. Tell your chauffeur on the spot, and the extra time is settled after the evening wraps, with the driver or over WhatsApp.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple to a large party of friends.
Headcount decides most choices, and the feel you want at the curb decides the rest. The Sprinters let everyone ride and talk together instead of splitting across two cars, which suits a night out together. The Platinum SUV is the pick when the arrival itself is part of the occasion. If numbers shift after booking — a friend decides to join, a couple drops out — message us and we will confirm whether a distinct tier suits the new group.
Yes. The larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries a big group in one private van with a chauffeur, so anyone searching for a private shuttle to the ballet gets exactly that: a vehicle reserved only for your party, with no strangers aboard, and the same driver from the Miami Beach pickup to the ride home.
Yes — a private SUV or Sprinter with its own chauffeur, booked by the hour.
For most Miami Beach riders, a car by the hour is the simplest way to reach Miami City Ballet: one reservation covers the journey over, the evening downtown, and the return, instead of a one-way drop that leaves the ride home to chance on a busy performance night. The vehicle belongs to your group for the whole booking, so coats or anything picked up during the evening can stay aboard, and everyone steps back into the same cabin after the show. Driving yourself means finding a spot, paying for it, and deciding who skips the post-show drink; a chauffeur removes all three. The service also fits the way a ballet night really unfolds — plans shift, dinner runs long, someone wants one more stop — because nothing about the route is fixed in advance. The questions below cover pets, short-notice bookings, the local region we serve, and later programs this season.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Your slot is locked and held just for you. Once the day and time are agreed for a ride inside the next 24 hours, a driver and vehicle are set aside, so the booking goes ahead as planned — on that short notice a date change or refund can’t be guaranteed. Happily, you can always add more hours on the day.
The hourly service stays local, on call around the city: Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Wynwood, Little Havana, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Doral, the area around Miami International Airport, and nearby communities up toward Fort Lauderdale. It isn’t run out to farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach, so your driver stays close by.
Yes. The same private hourly chauffeur service works for any Miami City Ballet performance at the Arsht, from later mixed-repertory evenings to the company’s holiday Nutcracker performances. Send the date and your group size on WhatsApp, and we’ll check availability and hold a vehicle for that performance.
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.

Yes — message us on WhatsApp and we will check availability for your evening.
Send four details in one message: how many guests are coming, the Miami Beach address where the evening starts, a rough pickup time, and any stops you have in mind, whether that is a table on Lincoln Road, a second pickup in Mid-Beach, or a nightcap after the final bow. We reply with the vehicle that fits, lay out how the block covers your plans, and confirm the booking once your payment is in. Reserving early gives you the widest choice of vehicles for an opening-night Friday. After confirmation, your driver’s contact comes through on WhatsApp, and from that point every question — a changed dinner time, one more guest — goes straight to the person who will be at the curb. Write to us or call using the details below.

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