Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from PortMiami to Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Pelicans on October 8, 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 the port, takes the group to the downtown arena before the 7:30 PM tip-off, and stays on call until you are ready to head home.
Rates depend only on the vehicle your group needs, and every tier has a five-hour minimum.
Each rate covers the vehicle and the chauffeur for every hour on the clock, whether the car is crossing from the port or parked while the Heat warm up. Multiply the rate by the hours you reserve and you know the evening’s cost before anyone climbs aboard. Rates are per vehicle rather than per person, so a full group splitting the evening keeps each share modest. A PortMiami game night fills the block naturally: pickup at the port, an unhurried dinner neighboring, the game itself, and the ride home afterward. Groups planning an earlier start or a later finish merely reserve a longer block when they book.
Four private tiers cover every group size, starting with the Black SUV XL for smaller parties.
Select by headcount first, then by comfort. The Platinum SUV suits a milestone night or guests you desire to impress, while the Sprinters let a large party ride as one group instead of splitting across several cars and trying to meet up again downtown.
Our mid-size Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries six to nine passengers, and the full-size Sprinter carries ten to fourteen, so a large party of fans can ride from the port to the game together. If your headcount sits right at the edge of a tier, the larger Sprinter gives everyone extra room and a more comfortable ride home.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all built into the hourly rate, along with the chauffeur’s time.
That matters on a downtown game night, when lots and garages around the arena fill up early and each one sets its own price. None of it reaches your bill. Your driver takes care of parking while the group is inside, and any tolls along the route you select between the port, dinner, and the arena are covered. The car also has onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot, which helps when you’re pulling up digital tickets on the way in.
Two things can raise the evening’s total. 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. Any hours you add past your reserved block are billed on top.
A private chauffeur turns a Heat game night into one seamless evening instead of a string of logistics.
Your group gets its own vehicle and one bilingual chauffeur from the first pickup to the last drop-off, so the same familiar face greets you at the port, after dinner, and at the end of the night. You pay a flat hourly rate locked at booking with no surge, so a hectic downtown event night never changes your price. You reach us directly on WhatsApp, so a changed dinner reservation or an early exit in the fourth quarter takes one message. The chauffeur already knows your plan, your group, and your pickup points, and there is nothing to re-explain as the night goes on. That is what we mean by premium service: fewer decisions for you, more attention from us, and a better experience from the moment you walk out of the terminal until you’re home again. Fans recall the game and the company, not a scramble for a ride.
No. Every booking is private. The vehicle and chauffeur are reserved for your party alone, and no other passengers join along the way. Whoever you bring, whether family, friends, or clients, rides together, and the car follows only your plans from the port pickup until the last drop-off of the night.
You pay the full fare up front, and any extra hours are settled once the night is over.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge, and trips outside that window carry the surcharge below. It depends only on the vehicle type.
For the SUV tiers it is a single flat add-on for the trip, and for a Sprinter it is a percentage of the trip value, so you can work out the full total well before October 8. The surcharge is added on top of your hourly rate and does not change it.
The October 8 game is the Heat’s home preseason opener, tipping off at 7:30 PM downtown.
Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Pelicans is the first time this season’s Heat play in front of their own crowd, after opening the preseason on the road in Quebec City. Preseason nights have their own appeal. Starters tend to play limited minutes, which gives rookies and new signings a chance to make a first impression, and the mood is relaxed enough for families and first-time fans to settle in. Kaseya Center sits on the bayfront along Biscayne Boulevard, across the water from the port, so a PortMiami group starts the evening almost within sight of the arena. It is still a full arena night downtown, with a large crowd arriving in the same window before tip-off, and that is when a reserved car and a chauffeur who knows the streets are most useful.
The crowd looks like Miami itself: longtime season-ticket holders, families bringing kids to their first NBA game, and a strongly multicultural fan base with Cuban, Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican, and wider Caribbean and Latin American roots. Groups of friends and coworkers join in as well, and a bilingual chauffeur is a natural fit for that crowd.
Your chauffeur meets you at any address in PortMiami, and you agree on the exact spot when you book.
For most riders, that means the curb outside their cruise terminal, where passengers come out to the pickup lanes after leaving the ship. Others are at the port for work or to meet friends coming off a sailing, and the driver can meet them at whatever point on the island you agree on together. PortMiami is a working port as well as a cruise hub, so traffic moves in organized lanes and the busiest periods follow ship arrivals and departures. Agreeing on the meeting point in advance (terminal name, curb region, and a rough time) keeps the pickup swift even on a crowded ship day. If your plans shift, one WhatsApp message updates the chauffeur directly. From the port, the group can head straight downtown toward the game or start with a stop elsewhere, because the hours are yours to plan.
Share your ship or terminal when you book, then message the chauffeur on WhatsApp as you head for the exit. The driver confirms the vehicle and the curb area where they’re waiting, so you walk straight out to a car reserved for your group instead of searching a crowded pickup lane.
Bayside Marketplace, Brickell, and Little Havana all make good pre-game stops close to the port.
With a car held for the whole block, the hours before the game become part of the night instead of dead time. A Cuban dinner in Little Havana suits a crowd that wants to start the evening in classic Miami style, while Brickell’s restaurants and rooftop bars work for a group that wants something sleek before heading to the arena. Groups who came off a ship earlier in the day might stop for photos along Ocean Drive in South Beach or walk the Wynwood Walls murals first. Between stops, the chauffeur circles the block or waits nearby, so nobody has to locate parking, feed a meter, or worry about timing the next leg. These are just ideas for your booked hours. We supply the car and the driver, and you select the tables and the tickets.
Yes. Bayside Marketplace sits on the bayfront right beside the arena, with waterfront restaurants, shops, and open-air bars that draw fans in jerseys on game nights. Your group can linger over a pre-game meal and then walk over for tip-off without getting back in the car.
From PortMiami, the chauffeur takes Port Boulevard across the bridge onto Biscayne Boulevard.
The arena sits right where that road meets downtown, so the trip is typically a short one and one of the most direct runs to any major Miami venue. Game night still changes things. Event traffic builds along Biscayne Boulevard and the downtown side streets as tip-off approaches, and traffic officers can close or redirect lanes around the arena. If your group is coming from dinner in Brickell or Little Havana instead of straight from the port, the chauffeur picks whichever approach suits that evening’s traffic, whether that’s Brickell Avenue, Biscayne Boulevard, or the expressways feeding downtown. After the final buzzer, the same local knowledge gets you out efficiently: back over the bridge to the port, north across the MacArthur Causeway toward Miami Beach, or south toward Brickell and Coral Gables.
The chauffeur gets your group as close to the venue as access allows on game night, typically along Biscayne Boulevard or at a nearby drop-off point that traffic officers permit. You step out a short walk from the entrance, and you agree on the after-game pickup spot before you head in.
Yes. Waiting is the whole point of booking by the hour. Your chauffeur stays with the car nearby for the entire game and heads to the agreed pickup point when you message on WhatsApp. Whether you leave early in the fourth quarter or stay for the final horn, the car is ready.
Booking by the hour means choosing a vehicle, reserving a block of time, and setting your own stops.
Start with your headcount, pick the tier that fits, and send us a rough start time and the places on your wish list. Every booking begins with a 5-hour block, and the same chauffeur and vehicle stay with you for all of it. The driver picks up at any Miami address, including a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal (a cruise-day arrival can go straight to the event), Miami International Airport, or a home, and the pickup spot is agreed at booking. From there, you decide the order: dinner first, then the game, then a nightcap or straight home. If the evening runs longer than planned, 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 agree on and nothing to pay until the night is done.
Our hourly chauffeurs stay close to home: 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 is a local, on-call, unhurried service built around the city, so it stays here rather than running out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Yes. The itinerary is never locked, so you can add a stop, drop one, or stay longer at dinner just by telling the chauffeur. A brief comfort stop for a restroom or a snack is easy to fit in, and none of these changes affect what you pay per hour.
Yes. A private chauffeur booked by the hour takes your group from PortMiami to the game.
The usual alternative is driving yourself, which means finding a downtown garage on a hectic event night, paying its event rate, and then inching out of that same garage with the rest of the crowd after the game. A reserved car removes each of those steps. Your group rides together from the port, stops wherever the evening takes you, and nobody has to skip a drink to drive home. For visitors, it also takes the guesswork out of an unfamiliar city after dark. The chauffeur knows the downtown streets, the event-night detours, and the quickest way back to a hotel on Miami Beach or a home in Coral Gables. It suits a couple celebrating, a family taking kids to their first NBA game, or a group of friends turning the home opener into a full night out. The questions below cover the timing and details fans ask about most.
Leave with a generous buffer instead of cutting it close. The drive from the port is typically short, but downtown event traffic, lane closures, and the walk to your seats all add time as tip-off nears. Many fans also like to watch warm-ups, so plan to reach the arena well ahead of 7:30 PM.
Yes, whenever a vehicle is free. For a service within the next 24 hours, your agreed date and time are locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. On that short notice, a date change or refund can’t be guaranteed, but you can always add more hours on the day.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Either one. The ride home goes wherever you choose within your booked hours. Head back to the port, to a hotel in Brickell or on Miami Beach, or to a home in Coral Gables or Doral. Some groups add a late dinner or a nightcap in Wynwood before the final drop-off.
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.
