Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from PortMiami to Florida State Seminoles at Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, October 17, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your driver meets you in PortMiami and drives north to Miami Gardens ahead of the 8:00 PM kickoff. After the final whistle, the same driver brings the whole crew back.
You pay per vehicle, per hour, and every reservation starts with five hours.
The rate covers the whole vehicle, not each seat, so a group of alumni can split one hourly figure however it likes. Select the tier that fits your headcount and multiply by the hours you anticipate to keep the car. That settles your budget before anyone steps off the cruise ship. The evening kickoff shapes the math. The ride home comes after the fourth quarter, so most crews heading to this game plan a longer evening than the opening block. The return from a night game also falls outside daytime hours. The surcharge section further down explains that one extra charge.
Your chauffeur drives the group north from PortMiami to Miami Gardens in one private vehicle.
PortMiami sits on its own island off downtown, so every game-day journey starts by crossing back to the mainland before the long run north. From there the chauffeur heads up the interstate toward Miami Gardens and takes whichever approach is moving best that Saturday. Nobody in your group has to drive or read a map. That matters on a night when Miami fans turn out in orange for the Orange Out and visiting fans in garnet and gold are heading the same way. The cabin becomes your pre-game room: jerseys on, the playlist going, the group chat buzzing, and the whole crew arriving together instead of spread across several cars. It’s the simplest way to turn a cruise-port start into a full rivalry evening on your own schedule.
The usual route leaves the port through the PortMiami Tunnel, joins I-395, and runs north on I-95. Closer to Miami Gardens, the Palmetto Expressway and Florida’s Turnpike are the common ways into the stadium area. On a busy Saturday your driver may switch between them based on live traffic. Your group just rides along while the chauffeur makes the calls.
After the game, the chauffeur can take your group back to PortMiami, to a downtown hotel, or on to a late celebration in Brickell or South Beach. The return trip runs within your booked hours, so a victory stop on the way home is just another stop on the route. Everyone gets dropped off where their night actually ends.
The driver meets your group at the PortMiami spot you select when you book.
For cruise passengers, that commonly means the passenger pickup curb outside your ship’s terminal, where the chauffeur waits with the vehicle as your group walks out. If you stayed the night before at a waterfront hotel or a home near the port, the driver can pick you up at the lobby or front door instead. Send the terminal or address in your WhatsApp message, and the driver confirms the exact meeting point on game day so nobody wanders the curb guessing. Port traffic comes in waves on a hectic ship day, so the chauffeur keeps in touch by message while your group clears the terminal. If a friend or two are joining from elsewhere in the city, the driver can pick them up on the way, and that stop simply becomes part of your booked hours. The goal is a peaceful start: team colors on, everyone together, and the car heading toward the game.
Yes, you can go straight from your cruise into game day with the same car and driver. You can step off the ship in the morning, spend the afternoon around downtown or Brickell, and head north well before kickoff. The chauffeur stays with your group throughout, so you never wait for a separate ride between the port and the game.
Bayside Marketplace, right beside PortMiami, is the easiest place to gather before the game.
Bayside’s waterfront shops and restaurants sit just across the bridge from the cruise terminals, so a group can have a relaxed early meal by the bay without going far. For a livelier dinner, Brickell is a short hop south, with rooftop bars and steakhouses where alumni groups like to toast the rivalry. Little Havana offers something distinct: Cuban coffee and pastries at Versailles on Eighth Street are a local ritual before a large night. Crews who desire murals and craft beer can swing through Wynwood before heading up the interstate. Because you book by the hour, the same chauffeur loops between whichever spots you pick and keeps the car close. Nobody hunts for parking downtown or worries about the timing of the next move. These are just ideas for your booked hours; your group picks the spots and makes any reservations directly.
Yes, an evening kickoff leaves room for an early dinner downtown before the drive north. Start your block in the afternoon, eat in Brickell or at Bayside while the driver stays nearby, and leave straight from the restaurant curb. Finish dinner with a comfortable margin, because traffic toward the stadium builds steadily as kickoff gets closer.
A smooth game Saturday comes down to leaving early, a close drop-off, and a waiting driver.
The Hard Rock Stadium crowd for this rivalry is a full cross-section of college football. You’ll see Miami and Florida State students, longtime alumni, families introducing kids to the tradition, and Seminoles fans who journey south for the game. The parking lots come alive hours before kickoff with cookouts, music, and flags, so the roads into Miami Gardens fill early. With a private driver, your group skips that parking scramble completely. The plan is simple: leave PortMiami with plenty of time, ride north together, step out near the entrance, and enjoy the game knowing your ride home is already sorted. After the final whistle the stadium empties all at once, and that’s when having your own chauffeur on call matters most. Anticipate orange everywhere on the Miami side for the Orange Out, with garnet and gold marking the visitors.
Plan to leave PortMiami in the mid-to-late afternoon for the 8:00 PM kickoff. Leave earlier if your group wants time in the lots before the game. Traffic toward Miami Gardens typically gets heavier as the evening goes on. A generous head start means your group walks in relaxed instead of racing the clock.
Your chauffeur drops the group as close to the venue as access allows, at the drop-off point where traffic staff direct cars that evening. Before you step out, agree on a pickup spot for later and share it in your WhatsApp thread. That way everyone knows exactly where to find the car once the game ends.
Yes, your driver stays nearby for the entire game and is ready as soon as you are. Message the chauffeur on WhatsApp as you start walking out, meet at the spot you agreed on, and ride home together while others are still looking for their cars. Nobody needs to leave early to beat the crowd.
A reserved chauffeur gives you a better game-day experience than driving your own car north.
The vehicle is private and reserved for your group alone, so the cabin stays yours from the port curb to the last drop-off of the night. One dedicated driver covers the whole block, so the person who greets you at PortMiami is the same one waiting after the final whistle. Your chauffeur is bilingual in English and Spanish. The hourly rate is flat and locked when you book, with no surge and no change if traffic crawls. Nobody has to be the designated driver, and nobody spends the fourth quarter worrying about the drive home. You also have direct WhatsApp contact with your driver all day, so plans can change with a swift message. That’s what upscale service looks like on a large college Saturday.
You select a vehicle, set the stops, and keep one driver for the whole block.
Start by picking the tier that fits your headcount. Then share a rough start time and the places on your wish list. The reservation starts with a five-hour block, and the chauffeur stays with your group the whole time, waiting between every stop. The driver can pick you up at any Miami address: a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home. You agree on the exact pickup spot when you book. After those first five hours, each extra hour is added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle. If the game goes to overtime or the celebration moves to a rooftop, you keep the car as long as you require. You never negotiate a new fare; the extra time is just more hours on the same booking.
Yes, the itinerary is never locked, so you can add a stop, drop one, or stay longer wherever the day takes you. Want to pick up a friend in Coconut Grove on the way north, or grab a victory drink in Brickell afterward? Tell the driver, and the route adjusts within your booked hours or any hours you add.
Three simple payment terms cover everything from the full fare to extra hours.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple of friends to a full alumni group.
Every tier is a private vehicle reserved for your party alone, so you never share the ride with a stranger. If your headcount is close to a tier’s limit, the larger choice keeps everyone comfortable in team gear on the drive home. The Platinum SUV class is the choice for groups who desire the most polished arrival on a rivalry night.
Yes, alumni groups can reserve a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter so the whole reunion rides together from PortMiami. The group sets a meeting point at the port or a nearby hotel, adds a dinner stop if it likes, and arrives at the game as one crew. Everyone stays together after the final whistle too, instead of splitting up across several cars.
Your hourly rate covers the vehicle, the chauffeur’s time, fuel, tolls, and parking.
That means no fuel top-up at the end of the night, no toll bill arriving weeks later, and no parking charge while the car waits for you. The rate you see covers the car and driver together. There’s room for what fans commonly bring, like a cooler, a few signs, or new merch, so just tell us in advance if you’re bringing something large. 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 next section explains how it works.
Rides outside the 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM daytime window carry a night surcharge by vehicle type.
For SUVs it’s a single fixed amount per journey, while the Sprinter tiers add a percentage of the journey value, as listed above. The surcharge is added on top of the hourly rate and confirmed with the rest of your booking, so you know the total before game day. The surcharge covers having a chauffeur ready to bring your group home late, long after the parking lots have slowed to a crawl.
Yes, a private chauffeured vehicle can carry your group from PortMiami to the game and back.
Our service is built around one idea: a private vehicle and a chauffeur reserved for your group by the hour, never a shared seat or a fixed-schedule run. If you searched for a private shuttle or a car service to the rivalry game, this is it. Select a Black SUV XL for a small group, a Platinum SUV for a more upscale ride, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when the whole crew needs to journey together. You decide when the day starts, which stops come first, and when it’s time to head home. The chauffeur follows your plan, not a timetable. Traveling fans, cruise passengers, local alumni, and families all get the same private setup; only the size of the vehicle changes.
Yes, Florida State fans arriving by cruise or staying near the port can book exactly the same private service. Your chauffeur meets you in PortMiami, can suggest a pre-game dinner spot downtown, and drives the group north in its garnet and gold. After the game, the same driver brings everyone back to the hotel.
The hourly service covers the local Miami area: Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, the area around Miami International Airport, and nearby areas up toward Fort Lauderdale. It’s a local, on-call service that stays around the city rather than going out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
If you book a service that happens within the next 24 hours, your slot 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 a date change or a refund, so the service runs as agreed. The good news is that you can always add more hours on game day.
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.
