Our private hourly chauffeur from PortMiami to Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Pelicans at Kaseya Center on Sunday, January 10, 2027, puts your group in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, locked at booking with no surge, on a 5-hour minimum. Tip-off is at 6:00 PM in Downtown Miami; your chauffeur collects you anywhere in PortMiami and stays with the group until the ride home.
Pricing is set per vehicle and per hour, with a five-hour minimum on every booking.
The rate covers the vehicle and chauffeur for every hour on the clock, whether the car is rolling down Biscayne Boulevard or parked downtown. For a 6:00 PM tip-off, a sensible plan starts the block in the afternoon, leaves room for dinner downtown, and runs past the final buzzer for the ride back. Couples and small families commonly fit the SUV tier, while bigger crews of friends or coworkers share one Sprinter instead of juggling several cars. The price is per vehicle rather than per person, so a full private van spreads the cost across the whole group.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all built into the hourly rate for your vehicle.
That matters most on a downtown game night, when event parking near the bayfront is in high demand. Your chauffeur covers the fuel, any tolls on the route from the port, and parking wherever the car sits while you watch the game, so nobody in the group reaches for a wallet at a pay station. The rate also covers the chauffeur’s time whether the car is moving or parked.
Other than any hours you add, two charges can come up. There is room on board for signs, merch bags, and whatever else the group carries to the game, but tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big.
Yes. A private chauffeured SUV or Sprinter takes your group from PortMiami to the game.
The Miami Heat host the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, January 10, 2027, with tip-off at 6:00 PM at Kaseya Center, the team’s bayfront home in Downtown Miami. It’s a regular-season game between an Eastern Conference host and a Western Conference visitor, and it falls in Miami’s winter high season, when cruise ships turn over at the port, hotels fill up, and downtown restaurants are hectic. Heat home games are a hard ticket to get, so the blocks around the bayfront are lively well before warmups.
For a group starting at the port, a reserved chauffeur makes a hectic evening simple. Everyone rides together in one vehicle, nobody has to hunt for event parking or split up across several cars, and the same chauffeur keeps the evening moving from the first pickup through the ride home.
Expect a crowd as mixed as Miami itself, and loud from warmups to the final horn.
Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Puerto Rican families sit next to longtime Black and Caribbean Heat fans, Anglo regulars, and visitors fresh off a cruise. You hear English and Spanish all around the arena. A Sunday-evening game in January brings out families and groups of friends alike, many of them in Heat colors.
The drive from PortMiami to the arena is typically short, but game-night traffic sets the pace.
PortMiami sits on Dodge Island, directly across the water from Downtown Miami. The Port Boulevard bridge lands on Biscayne Boulevard beside Bayside Marketplace, a short stretch from the arena, so on an ordinary evening the trip is a quick crossing. On a Heat game night, though, Biscayne Boulevard fills with arriving fans, drop-offs, and traffic control. Allow more time than the map suggests and let the chauffeur choose the approach.
Because the car is booked by the hour, a slow block on Biscayne never changes your rate or rushes anyone. The group relaxes in the back while the chauffeur reads the traffic, and you arrive together instead of scattering across garages and curbside pickups. If the port itself is hectic with a ship turning around, the chauffeur plans for that too.
Most game-night runs leave PortMiami over the Port Boulevard bridge, straight onto Biscayne Boulevard.
If the boulevard is backed up, the PortMiami Tunnel is another way out. It runs under the bay to Watson Island and the MacArthur Causeway, where I-395 leads back into downtown. Your chauffeur picks between the two routes based on live traffic that afternoon.
The chauffeur meets you at any address in PortMiami, including your cruise terminal curb.
PortMiami’s cruise terminals line Dodge Island, each serving distinct cruise lines, and each has a passenger pickup area where private vehicles pull up. Tell us your ship and terminal when you book, and the chauffeur plans the approach so the group isn’t wandering the curb looking for a car. If you’re staying at a hotel or residence near the port instead, the pickup happens at the lobby or front door.
On disembarkation mornings the terminal roads get crowded with arriving and departing passengers, so the chauffeur stays in touch on WhatsApp and tells you where the car is parked. Pickup times follow your plan, not a fixed schedule. Some groups start right off the ship, while others rest first and begin the block closer to the evening.
Yes. If your cruise arrives that Sunday, you can go straight from the terminal into a full game day.
The chauffeur meets the group at the curb. Your booked hours can cover an afternoon in the city, an early dinner, the game, and the ride to your hotel or home afterward. A longer day just means more hours on the booking, all in the same vehicle.
Bayside Marketplace, just across the port bridge, is the easiest pre-game stop for most groups.
The waterfront shops and bars at Bayside sit next door to the arena, with open views of the bay and the port across the water, so a group can grab a drink and watch the harbor before walking over. Bayfront Park runs along the same stretch for anyone who wants some air and palm trees before a long night indoors, and Museum Park is a little farther north along the bay. With a chauffeur on the clock, you can also go farther afield: an afternoon among the Wynwood murals, a walk through Coconut Grove, or a stop in Brickell for a rooftop view of the skyline. The car loops between each place and waits, so no one worries about parking or calling a ride between stops, and the chauffeur times the last leg to the arena.
Little Havana, Brickell, and Bayside all work well for a pre-game dinner.
For classic Cuban food, Versailles on SW 8th Street in Little Havana is a longtime Miami gathering spot, and the street around it is lively on weekends. Brickell’s restaurant blocks suit groups who want something more polished, while Bayside keeps dinner a short walk from the arena. You make the reservations; we handle the driving.
Your chauffeur drops the group as close to the arena as access allows, then stays nearby.
Kaseya Center sits right on Biscayne Boulevard, and on game nights traffic control can limit where cars are able to stop. The chauffeur knows the downtown grid and picks a drop-off point that keeps the group’s walk to the entrance short. You step out together, head inside, and never deal with a parking garage. While the Heat and Pelicans play, the chauffeur waits with the car nearby and can be reached on WhatsApp at any time. When the final buzzer sounds, the whole crowd pours onto the same few blocks at once, so the chauffeur messages you a meeting point a short walk from the crowd, somewhere the car can actually pull in. The group walks over, gets in, and heads home, to a late dinner, or back toward the port without waiting in a garage exit line.
Leave PortMiami well ahead of the 6:00 PM tip-off, earlier than the short distance suggests.
Build in time for slow traffic on Biscayne Boulevard, security screening at the entrance, and finding your seats before warmups wrap up. Your chauffeur checks conditions that afternoon and suggests a departure time when you confirm the plan on WhatsApp.
The drop-off is the closest point to the entrance that game-night access allows.
Because road closures can shift, the exact corner is decided on the way in rather than promised days ahead. If anyone in the group walks slowly or uses a mobility aid, tell the chauffeur in advance, and the car will aim for the shortest possible walk.
Yes. Waiting through the game is simply part of your booked hours.
The chauffeur stays with the vehicle for the whole game, so the car is on hand if a guest wants to leave early, needs something from the car, or the group decides to skip the last quarter and beat the crowd. One WhatsApp message brings the car around.
A private chauffeur gives your group one reserved vehicle and one driver for the entire night.
Nobody else shares the car, and nobody in the group has to drive, park, or stay sober for the ride home. Your chauffeur speaks English and Spanish, which suits a game where both English and Spanish fill the stands. The flat hourly rate is locked the moment you book, with no surge for a packed Sunday, a hectic cruise day, or a jam on the boulevard. You message the chauffeur directly on WhatsApp to change a stop or call the car early.
To us, upscale service means a clean, comfortable vehicle, a chauffeur who knows downtown on an event night, and one familiar face from the first pickup to the final drop-off. It’s a better experience than juggling car keys, garages, and a group split across several cars.
Couples and small groups ride in an SUV; bigger groups take a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The Black SUV XL keeps a small group together in one comfortable cabin, with room to stretch out on the ride from the port. The Platinum SUV steps up the finish for a birthday, a client night, or a visiting family that wants the arrival to feel special. The reference cars are examples of that vehicle class, not a promise of one exact model. For larger groups, the Sprinter tiers below keep everyone in a single vehicle, so the whole group arrives and leaves together.
Our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comes in two sizes: one for 6 to 9 passengers and one for 10 to 14.
Choose the smaller Sprinter for a mid-size group of friends or two families traveling together. The larger one suits an office outing, a fan club, or an extended family. Either way, the private van is reserved only for your group and comes with its own chauffeur.
Booking by the hour means one car and chauffeur are yours for a set block of time.
Start by picking the vehicle that fits your group, then tell us when and where you want the day to begin. Pickup can be any Miami address, such as a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home, and the exact spot is agreed at booking. From there the chauffeur stays with the group for the whole block, including at the venue, while you decide the stops as the night unfolds.
The first five hours make up your booked block. After that, every additional hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle, with no renegotiated fare and no new booking, and it’s settled after the day wraps up. If overtime or a post-game dinner stretches the night, you just keep the car.
Yes. Tell the chauffeur, and the booking simply runs longer.
After the game, a group might head from the arena to a Brickell rooftop, a late bite in Wynwood, or a nightcap on Miami Beach before returning to a hotel near the port. The same car is waiting at the curb at each stop, and the extra time is settled after the night ends.
You pay the full fare at booking by card or Apple Pay through the secure checkout on the site, or through a Stripe payment link sent on WhatsApp.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and carry no surcharge. Outside that window, a night surcharge applies based on 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. What decides the surcharge is how the night ends. SUV bookings add a single per-trip amount, and Sprinter bookings add a percentage of the trip value. Your chauffeur can flag the timing during the evening so the group can choose between an early ride home and a longer night out.
Yes, as long as a vehicle is free, and a last-minute booking is held just for you.
Game-day plans often come together late, especially for cruise passengers who decide to catch the Heat once they know their arrival day. Send a WhatsApp message with your group size, a rough start time, and the stops you have in mind, and we’ll confirm what’s available. Once the day and time are agreed for a service happening within the next 24 hours, that slot is locked in and held just for you, because a driver and vehicle are already set aside for your group. On such short notice we can’t guarantee moving the date or a refund, so the booking goes ahead exactly as agreed. The good news runs the other way: you can always add more hours on the day, so a close game or a long dinner never cuts the night short.
Yes. This is a local, on-call service that stays around the city.
Your chauffeur covers 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. Farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, and West Palm Beach aren’t part of this hourly service, which keeps the car close by and on call.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Yes. Our private shuttle option is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter reserved only for your group.
No strangers board, there’s no fixed timetable, and nobody buys an individual seat. The private van leaves the port when your group is ready, follows the stops you choose, and carries the same passengers from the first pickup to the last 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.

Reserving your January 10, 2027 game night starts with a single WhatsApp message.
Tell us how many people are in the group, where in PortMiami the day begins, and roughly when you want to leave. We reply with the vehicle that fits, confirm the date once the payment is in, and keep every detail on one WhatsApp thread. January is a hectic stretch in Miami, with cruise traffic, winter visitors, and a Heat home game all on the same Sunday, so reserving early gives you the widest choice of vehicles. From there, the plan is yours to shape: an afternoon at Bayside, an early dinner in Little Havana, the 6:00 PM tip-off, and a relaxed ride home in the same car that picked you up. Got your tickets? Then confirm your booking so the whole group arrives together.

If you prefer the driver to wait inside the terminal with a sign bearing your name, add the Meet & Greet for US$ 40 when you book — available for airport pickups only.
The day before your trip, we’ll send you a message with the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate, along with detailed instructions for curbside pickup.

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 the offer is sent, the driver waits up to 10 minutes for your reply; if you don’t accept in that time, the driver may leave. 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.
