Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from PortMiami to Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets at Kaseya Center on Sunday, December 27, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, locked at booking, with a 5-hour minimum. One bilingual driver and one premium vehicle stay with your group for the whole block, from the PortMiami pickup through the 6:00 PM tip-off to the ride home.
Each rate covers the whole vehicle and chauffeur, with a 5-hour minimum on every booking.
Pricing is per vehicle, never per seat, so a family filling the Black SUV XL shares one hourly figure no matter how many of them ride. Choose the tier by headcount and by the mood of the night. The SUV suits a couple or a small family stepping off a ship. The Sprinter tiers keep a bigger holiday gathering of relatives in one cabin, and the Platinum SUV brings a polished luxury interior for clients or a milestone celebration. Keeping everyone in one cabin matters in the week after Christmas, when Downtown Miami is busy and a game-night plan can easily splinter across several cars. Tell us your headcount first, and we’ll match you with the tier that seats everyone comfortably without paying for empty rows.
Your group gets one reserved vehicle, one bilingual chauffeur, and one locked hourly rate.
Nothing about the car is shared. It is reserved for your party alone, and the same chauffeur stays with you from the first pickup to the final drop-off, ready between every stop so the evening moves at your pace. Because the driver is bilingual, relatives visiting for the holidays can chat, ask questions, and change plans in whichever language they’re most comfortable with. The hourly rate is flat and locked at booking. There’s no surge when the arena empties, and the rate doesn’t change for traffic or for a busy cruise turnaround at the port. You reach the team directly on WhatsApp to plan stops, share the pickup point, and make changes on the day. That is what premium service means here: a better experience built on certainty, courtesy, and a car that is there the moment your group needs it.
Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets tips off Sunday, December 27, 2026, at 6:00 PM in Downtown Miami.
It is a regular-season NBA game at Kaseya Center, the bayfront arena. It falls in the holiday week after Christmas, when locals, visiting relatives, and vacationers want a night out. Anticipate a crowd as mixed as Miami itself. Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Puerto Rican families sit next to Black Miamians, Caribbean fans, young professionals, longtime season-ticket holders, and visitors from Latin America and Europe. Heat home games tend to fill the building, and a holiday-week matchup brings more kids and grandparents to the stands than a typical night. For a group coming from PortMiami, the evening often starts earlier, with a cruise wrapping up that morning or a day spent near the water. A chauffeur by the hour turns that long day into one simple thread: the same car carries everyone from the port to dinner, into the Downtown crowd, and home again.
Your chauffeur leaves the port island and heads into Downtown along Biscayne Boulevard.
The arena sits across the water from PortMiami, so the drive is typically short. Game-day traffic around Biscayne Boulevard can stretch it, though, so permit extra time before a 6:00 PM tip-off. The usual route crosses the Port Boulevard bridge and lands beside Bayside Marketplace, close to the arena. When that approach backs up with arena traffic, the chauffeur can swing through the PortMiami Tunnel onto I-395 and the MacArthur Causeway, then come back into Downtown from the north. Your driver picks the route on the road, based on live conditions, so your group never has to decide. Leaving the port with a comfortable cushion leaves room for a relaxed dinner stop or a walk along the bay before heading inside. After the game, the same thinking applies in reverse: the chauffeur plans a way out of the Downtown crowd that gets your group moving rather than idling in the post-game crush.
The driver drops your group as close to the venue as access allows, usually on the Biscayne Boulevard side of the arena. Event-night traffic control decides the exact curb, so your chauffeur confirms the drop-off point on the way in and shows you where the group will meet again after the game.
Yes. Your chauffeur stays nearby for the whole game, and that waiting time is simply part of your booked hours. When the final buzzer sounds, message the driver on WhatsApp as your group heads out. The car comes to the agreed pickup point, so everyone rides home together instead of searching a crowded street.
Your chauffeur meets you at any address in PortMiami agreed at booking.
Most PortMiami pickups happen at a cruise terminal, where the driver waits at the passenger pickup curb outside the terminal your ship uses. Send the ship name and terminal over WhatsApp, and your chauffeur confirms the exact spot before the day, so nobody wanders the sidewalk looking for a sign. A port office, a business meeting on the island, or any other point you name works just as well; the pickup is wherever makes sense for your group. On a holiday Sunday the terminals are busy with arriving and departing passengers, so a clear meeting point saves everyone time. Your chauffeur keeps in touch by message as you make your way off the ship or out of a meeting, and the car is ready when your group is. From there, you can head toward Downtown, stop at a hotel, or start with an early meal by the bay.
Yes, a cruise-day arrival can ride from the terminal into a full game-day plan.
The game falls on a Sunday in the holiday cruise season, so many travelers will step off a ship the same day they head to the arena. Plan your hours around the game rather than around leaving the ship, and the chauffeur collects you at the terminal whenever your block begins. Before tip-off, fill the time with stops you choose. Bayside Marketplace sits by the port for a waterfront stroll, and Bayfront Park next door is a simple place to stretch your legs after days at sea. Little Havana suits a group craving a Cuban meal and a coffee from a walk-up window, and Wynwood’s murals make a colorful photo stop. The same driver loops between those spots and waits at each one, so nobody worries about parking or timing. These are ideas for your booked hours. We provide the car and driver, and your group takes care of any tickets or tables.
Bayside Marketplace, just across the Port Boulevard bridge, has waterfront restaurants that keep your group close to the arena before the game. For a bigger dinner scene, Brickell’s restaurants suit young professionals and celebrating families alike. Your chauffeur drops you at the door and stays close, so the meal can run as long as the conversation does.
Four private tiers cover every group size, starting with the Black SUV XL.
Each tier is a clean premium vehicle reserved for your party alone. Start with headcount, then think about the feel you want for the night.
The Platinum SUV reference cars show the class of vehicle rather than a promise of one specific model. Whichever tier you pick, the whole group rides, arrives, and heads home together. That keeps a family outing or a client evening in one conversation from the port to the final buzzer.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comes in two private sizes: one seats 6 to 9 passengers, and the larger one seats 10 to 14. Count every rider, children included, and choose the size that gives everyone a comfortable seat. A single van keeps a big holiday group together from the cruise terminal to the arena and home.
Yes. Families are a big part of this holiday-week crowd, and kids ride comfortably.
With the seat already fitted when the car pulls up at the terminal, parents can buckle in and go instead of wrestling with an installation on a busy curb. A long day that begins on a ship and ends in a packed arena tests young attention spans, and a private car helps. The kids can nap, snack, or rewatch highlights on the way home while the adults talk through the game. If anyone needs a restroom or snack break, one brief comfort stop mid-booking is simple to fit in. Just ask the driver. Grandparents and visiting relatives benefit too, because the chauffeur handles the drive and nobody has to find the car in a garage late at night.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in your hourly rate.
That means no garage fee in Downtown on game night, no toll to settle anywhere along the route, and no fuel stop added to your bill. Onboard WiFi runs from a mobile hotspot, which is handy for pulling up digital tickets or sharing photos from the bay. There is room for what fans carry, like jerseys, signs, and team merch, so tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Only two charges can be added to the total, and both are spelled out on this page: any hours you choose to keep beyond your block, billed at your vehicle’s regular hourly rate, and the evening surcharge for pickups between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
The full fare, paid when you book, reserves your date.
Trips between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Outside daytime hours, a surcharge applies based on vehicle type.
That later stretch is when the surcharge above applies. The SUV surcharge is a single addition per trip. The Sprinter surcharge is calculated on the trip value, so it scales with the vehicle and the hours involved. Neither one should catch you off guard, because your planned end time shows whether the evening surcharge applies before you pay. 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.
You reserve a block of hours, and the car and chauffeur are yours throughout.
Start on WhatsApp with your group size, a rough start time, and the stops on your wish list, then pick the vehicle tier that seats everyone. The driver can collect you at any Miami address, whether that’s a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home, and the pickup spot is agreed at booking. Every booking begins with a five-hour block. From there you set the stops and the route: dinner first, a detour for photos, the arena, a nightcap, or straight home. Your chauffeur stays with the group for all of it. If the night runs long, keep the car. After the 5-hour block, every additional hour is merely added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle, with no new fare to negotiate, and those extra hours are settled after the day wraps up. One more hour costs one more hour at your vehicle’s rate.
The hourly service stays local and on call around the city: 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. Farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, and West Palm Beach aren’t part of this unhurried, around-town service.
Once the day and time are agreed for a service within the next 24 hours, that slot is locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. On such short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, so the booking goes ahead as agreed. You can always add more hours on the day.
Yes. A private chauffeur by the hour is the simplest way from the port to the game.
Cruise guests rarely have a car waiting at PortMiami. Driving your own vehicle into Downtown on a holiday game night means hunting for a garage and choosing someone to skip the celebrations and drive home. A reserved chauffeur removes both problems in one booking. Your group rides together from the terminal or port office, spends the pre-game hours wherever it likes, and knows exactly how the night ends before the opening tip. The week after Christmas is one of Miami’s busiest, so reserving as soon as your tickets are confirmed gives you the widest choice of vehicle tiers. Send your pickup point, group size, and rough plan, and we’ll set the booking around the 6:00 PM start. The questions below cover what travelers leaving from the port most often ask before they book.
Plan to leave PortMiami well ahead of tip-off rather than cutting it close, since holiday game-night traffic can bunch up on the last approach into Downtown. Arriving early leaves time for warmups, a snack, and finding seats without rushing. Your chauffeur recommends a departure time on the day based on live traffic and any dinner stop you’ve planned.
No. The vehicle and chauffeur are reserved for your party alone for every minute of the block. There are no other passengers, no extra pickups along the way, and no fixed schedule. The car moves when your group is ready and goes where your group decides, from the port to the final drop-off.
Yes. The same private hourly chauffeur works for concerts and other Heat home games at the Downtown arena, with the same vehicle tiers and booking steps described on this page. Share the date, your group size, and your pickup point, and we’ll check availability for that night and confirm the vehicle that fits your group.
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.

Two hours is the free wait for international flights. When your free waiting time ends, extra waiting is not automatic: your driver may text you an offer to keep waiting, but is not required to.

If no offer is sent, the driver may leave once your free waiting time is over.
Yes. Our drivers help load and unload your bags.
The standard allowance includes one large suitcase and one carry-on per person.

Only optional extras add to it — the night-hours fee shown in your quote before you book, the optional Meet & Greet at Miami International Airport and the 4% processing fee on card payments made through the payment link. 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.
