Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from PortMiami to Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards at Kaseya Center on Friday, April 9, 2027, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver meets you at the cruise terminal curb or any address in PortMiami, drops you near the arena before the 8:00 PM tip-off, and waits for the final buzzer.
You pay by the hour for the vehicle you pick, and every booking covers a minimum of five hours so the car can stay through dinner, the game, and the ride home.
The rate is set by the vehicle, not by how many people ride, so one fare covers everyone aboard. The clock starts at your agreed pickup time in PortMiami and runs until the last drop-off of the night. That keeps the math easy: choose the tier that seats your group, count your hours, and you know the total before game day begins. With an 8:00 PM tip-off on a Friday, numerous groups start their block in the late afternoon so the pre-game meal, the game itself, and the trip back all fit inside one booking.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, and the car stays with your group from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
Start by choosing the tier that seats everyone. The driver can pick you up at any Miami address: a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home. You agree the pickup spot when you book, so a cruise-day arrival can go straight on to the game. After that, you plan the evening: an early dinner in Brickell, a slow drive along Biscayne Bay, the game, and wherever the night goes next. Add a stop, skip one, or stay longer at the table. When the first five hours are up, the car doesn’t have to leave. Each extra hour is added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle, with no new fare to negotiate. You settle those hours after the day, so you can keep the car as long as the night runs.
Send three things: your group size, a rough start time in PortMiami, and the stops you want, such as a dinner spot, the game, or a late drink afterward. We confirm the vehicle tier, the pickup point, and the timing in the same chat, so your whole plan for April 9 stays in one thread you can check anytime.
Service between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM has no surcharge. Trips outside those hours carry a night charge that depends on the vehicle size.
On a Heat night, the early legs almost always fall inside daytime hours. The PortMiami pickup, dinner, and the ride into Downtown before the 8:00 PM tip-off cost nothing extra. The hourly rate covers the vehicle and chauffeur, and this is the only extra a typical game night can involve.
Most likely, yes. 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 surcharge applies to that trip exactly as listed above: the SUV charge per trip or the Sprinter percentage. Nothing else changes.
We have four private vehicle tiers, from a couple just off a cruise to a big group of fans, and each one comes with its own chauffeur.
Every tier is the same hourly service with the same chauffeur all evening. Only the space and the finish change. Fans rarely carry much into an arena, but there is room for signs and merch. Tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big, and check the arena’s own sign policy before you pack.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into the hourly rate, so Downtown event parking and road tolls never show up on your bill.
The chauffeur’s time is part of the hour too, whether the car is driving over the Port Boulevard bridge or parked while you eat. One short comfort stop for a restroom, a snack, or a stretch is easy during the booking. Just ask the driver, and the rate stays the same. One extra can be added to the hourly rate: the night surcharge for trips outside daytime hours, covered above, explained below. Any hours you add are billed at your vehicle’s rate. Keep the driver updated on WhatsApp during the evening, and changes like a new dinner stop or an earlier pickup after the game fit into the hours you booked.
Payment comes down to three short terms.
Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards tips off at 8:00 PM on Friday, April 9, 2027, at Kaseya Center, the arena on the Biscayne Bay waterfront in Downtown Miami.
This is a regular-season NBA game against a Southeast Division rival. It falls in the last days of the regular season, when standings and seeding may still be at stake. Heat home games draw full, loud crowds in red, black, and white, and a Friday game brings out everyone: locals coming from work, families making a night of it, groups of friends, and visitors just off a cruise or staying at a Downtown hotel. The arena sits next to Bayfront Park and Bayside Marketplace, so the whole waterfront is busy before the game. For a group coming from the port, a private car keeps things simple: you skip the garage lines, reach together, and the evening runs on your schedule instead of around parking.
Yes. It’s an indoor evening game on the waterfront, and it pairs easily with a cruise arrival or a Downtown hotel stay. Heat crowds mix longtime fans with families and first-time visitors. A private car keeps kids and out-of-town guests together from the port to the drop-off and back, with no long garage walks late at night.
Your chauffeur usually takes the Port Boulevard bridge onto Biscayne Boulevard, a short drive from the port into Downtown, and plans the trip to get ahead of the tip-off crowd.
On a normal afternoon the drive is usually short, but allow extra time on game night. The streets around Kaseya Center fill with fans, garage traffic, and pickup lines well before 8:00 PM. If Port Boulevard backs up with cruise or event traffic, the driver can take the PortMiami Tunnel to the MacArthur Causeway and I-395, then come down into Downtown from the north. Your chauffeur plans the departure around your dinner and the 8:00 PM start, so the group reaches the drop-off with time to spare instead of crawling along in the last few minutes. The car is yours for the whole block, so there’s no rush to find a garage space or pay for event parking. The chauffeur also watches for that evening’s road closures and adjusts the route along the way.
The chauffeur takes the group as close to the venue as access allows that night. That’s usually on Biscayne Boulevard or a side street next to the arena, depending on how police and venue staff set up traffic. You get out at the drop-off point with your tickets ready and walk the last stretch to the entrance.
Yes. The same chauffeur stays with the car, parked nearby, for all four quarters. Near the end of the game, you agree on a pickup spot over WhatsApp a short walk from the entrance. The group skips the garage exit line and the rush for a ride after the game and goes straight to the next stop.
The driver picks you up at any address in PortMiami you agree on when booking, most frequently the ground-transportation curb outside your cruise terminal.
PortMiami sits on Dodge Island and is mostly cruise terminals and port offices. The meeting point is usually the passenger curb where arriving guests meet their cars, or the entrance of a port building for people who work on the island. Tell us where you’ll be when you book, and we set the pickup spot in the chat before the day. If part of the group is staying at a Downtown hotel or a home across the bridge, the driver can start there and stop at the port for everyone else. Timing is flexible. Cruise guests who get off the ship in the morning may favor a later start and spend the afternoon on their own. Others start the block at the terminal and go from there.
Share your ship name and a phone number in the WhatsApp chat, and we confirm the meeting point at the terminal’s ground-transportation curb before the day. Keep the chat open while you leave the terminal. On a busy morning when ships are turning around, it’s the fastest way to find your chauffeur and get going.
Bayside Marketplace, next to the arena on the bayfront where the port bridge reaches Downtown, is the easiest place for dinner and drinks before the game.
For a sit-down meal, Brickell’s restaurants around Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre suit groups who want a proper dinner before tip-off. Little Havana is a different experience, with Cuban food and strong Cuban coffee along Southwest Eighth Street, and the well-known Versailles restaurant is a favorite with visitors. Art lovers can start in Wynwood among the murals and eat nearby before heading Downtown. If you want to see the ocean, cross the MacArthur Causeway for an early bite in South Beach. Because you book by the hour, the same driver takes you between these neighborhoods and waits at each stop, so nobody has to circle for parking or watch a meter. These are ideas for how to spend your hours, not reservations we make. Pick one or two, and the chauffeur plans the route around tip-off.
Yes. Bayside Marketplace is right next to the arena along the bayfront, so many fans eat there and walk over. With an hourly booking, the chauffeur can drop you at Bayside for dinner, and you walk to the game from there. Walking over also lets you skip the drop-off line on the busiest part of Biscayne Boulevard before tip-off.
Brickell’s lounges, Wynwood’s bars, and Ocean Drive in South Beach are all good places to go after the game, and your chauffeur is ready to take the group on.
A Heat win frequently turns into a longer night, and an hourly booking makes it easy to keep going. Brickell stays close to Downtown, with rooftop bars and kitchens that stay open late. Wynwood is more creative, with breweries and live music in converted warehouses. South Beach, across the MacArthur Causeway, has the classic Ocean Drive lights. Groups who want a quieter end to the night frequently go to Coconut Grove for a drink by the water, or just head back to the hotel or home. The same chauffeur drives every leg after the game, so nobody splits up to look for a ride or waits alone on a curb after midnight. Choose the next stop before the game ends, and the route is ready when you reach the car.
A private vehicle reserved only for your group, a flat hourly rate locked at booking with no surge, and one chauffeur for the whole block make for a better experience on a packed Downtown night.
That’s what premium service means on game day. The hourly rate you agree on doesn’t change, even when demand jumps right after the game and the streets around the arena jam up. The car is yours between every stop, so dinner can run long, a friend can join partway through the evening, and nobody has to find a garage space or a ride home. You deal with us directly on WhatsApp, from your first question about vehicles to the last message of the night. The vehicle arrives clean and ready, and the driver waits through the game. For a Heat night that starts at the port, that’s better service from pickup to the last drop-off.
Yes. A private hourly chauffeur takes your group from the PortMiami curb to the game and back in one reserved vehicle, on your schedule.
Numerous fans search for a game-day ride from the port and picture a bus on a fixed schedule. What we offer is a private shuttle for your group only: a Black SUV XL, a Platinum SUV, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that leaves when you’re ready and stops where you want. There’s no schedule to catch, no strangers getting on at the next stop, and no line to wait in after the game. The questions below cover what riders ask most before booking a Heat night from PortMiami: timing, group size, pets, the local service area, and bookings made on short notice.
Leave PortMiami well before the 8:00 PM tip-off. Many groups head out in the late afternoon or early evening so they can have dinner first. The drive itself is usually short, but allow extra time for traffic on Biscayne Boulevard, the drop-off line, and arena security so you’re in your seats before warm-ups end.
Up to fourteen people ride together in our larger private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and a smaller Sprinter suits mid-size groups. Smaller groups fit in the Black SUV XL or the Platinum SUV. Whichever you choose, the whole group leaves PortMiami in one vehicle and rides home together after the game.
Yes. This is a local, on-call service that stays around the city: 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 doesn’t go out to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach, so your car stays close all night.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Letting us know early gives you the best chance of a yes for your date.
Yes, if a car is available. Check availability on WhatsApp. Once a service within the next 24 hours is confirmed, its date and time are locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle set aside, so it goes ahead as agreed. That close to the day, we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund. You can always add hours on the 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.
