Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from PortMiami to Miami Marlins vs. Chicago Cubs at loanDepot park on Monday, May 31, 2027, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. The same chauffeur and car stay with you from the cruise-terminal curb or your downtown hotel through the final out, then take you wherever the evening goes.
Hourly rates depend on the vehicle tier, and every booking starts at five hours.
The rate covers the whole vehicle, not each seat, so a group of Cubs fans, a Marlins family, or a mix of both can split one hourly price however it likes. Five hours is the floor for good reason: a holiday ballgame from PortMiami means the ride across town, time to settle in before first pitch, a full game, and the drive to dinner afterward. A block that size comfortably covers the whole outing without anyone watching the clock. Choose by headcount first; the tier descriptions further down explain which vehicle suits which kind of group. The rates above are the full hourly price. The main variables are any hours you choose to add and a surcharge for late-night driving, both explained below.
Yes — a private chauffeur hired by the hour handles the whole Marlins–Cubs holiday outing from PortMiami.
The Miami Marlins host the Chicago Cubs on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, 2027, in a regular-season National League game at loanDepot park, the retractable-roof ballpark in Little Havana. The holiday date promises a lively crowd, and the Cubs are renowned for traveling well. Expect a loud, loyal visiting section singing “Go Cubs Go,” filled with Midwestern transplants, South Florida retirees, and Chicago fans turning the long weekend into a Miami vacation. Some of them will be stepping straight off a cruise that morning. The home side is pure Miami, with Cuban-American, Venezuelan, and Dominican families who grew up on the game. Whichever jersey your group wears, the day has the same shape: a cross-town ride from the port, hours at the ballpark, and a crowded exit afterward. A reserved vehicle with your own chauffeur turns all of that into one easy, continuous outing, with no scramble for parking and no curbside wait in the post-game crush.
Most runs leave Dodge Island through the PortMiami Tunnel toward I-395 and the Dolphin Expressway.
The tunnel carries port traffic under the water straight onto the MacArthur Causeway approach and skips the downtown street grid. From I-395, your chauffeur follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) west and exits into the blocks just north of Little Havana, finishing the trip on neighborhood streets toward the ballpark. When the expressway backs up, as it can on a holiday, the alternative is the Port Boulevard bridge onto Biscayne Boulevard, then west through downtown and along Eighth Street, the main drag of Little Havana. There the murals, cigar shops, and Cuban cafés create the slow final stretch feel like part of the outing. Your chauffeur reads live traffic and picks the faster line on the day, so the group just rides. Morning disembarkation traffic around the terminals and beach-bound cars heading for Miami Beach are the usual Memorial Day variables, and a driver who works these roads daily knows how to route around both.
On a quiet day the trip is typically a short cross-town drive, but allow generous extra time on Memorial Day. Cruise disembarkation, beach traffic, and fans heading to the ballpark all build up at the same time, so your chauffeur plans the departure around real conditions rather than a best-case map.
Cruise passengers meet the chauffeur at the passenger pickup curb outside their terminal.
PortMiami is a working cruise island, so the pickup plan follows how you arrive. If you’re coming off a ship, send your ship name and terminal ahead of time. Once you clear customs, a quick WhatsApp message brings your chauffeur to the curb, and the group loads up without standing in a line. If you’re staying ashore instead, the hotels along Biscayne Boulevard just across the Port Boulevard bridge create an easy lobby pickup, and so does a waterfront residence nearby. Crew members finishing a contract and port-side business visitors can be collected at any address in PortMiami they share with us. Because your chauffeur is reserved for your group rather than dispatched from a queue, there is no scanning a row of idling cars or matching plate numbers in the heat. You walk out, spot your driver, and step in.
Yes. Stepping off a ship on Memorial Day morning and heading straight to the game works well by the hour. Your chauffeur collects the group at the terminal and can stop in Little Havana for a Cuban lunch or at a hotel for check-in along the way. Then you carry on to the ballpark, with the whole post-cruise day in one vehicle.
Leave PortMiami well before first pitch, because holiday crowds build around the ballpark early.
Memorial Day brings families, Cubs road-trippers, and Marlins regulars to loanDepot park together, and the streets around the ballpark tighten as first pitch approaches. Aim to be inside with time to spare for security screening, finding seats, and watching warmups. Cubs fans in particular like to settle in early and get the singing started. Your chauffeur suggests a departure time from PortMiami based on the start time printed on your tickets, then adjusts for that morning’s traffic at the port and on the expressway. Groups coming off a ship should also allow for customs and disembarkation, which rarely run to the minute on a holiday. Leaving early costs you nothing: the car is yours for the whole block anyway, so arriving ahead of the crowd is the smarter use of the hours you have booked.
Your chauffeur drops the group near the entrance, as close to the venue as access allows, so nobody walks in from a remote lot. You agree on the exact drop-off point and a matching pickup spot before you step out, which makes the vehicle easy to find after the game, even in a holiday crowd.
Yes. The driver stays nearby through every inning, extra ones included, because the vehicle is reserved for your group for the whole block. Nobody gets stranded when the game runs long. When the final out lands, or the kids are ready to leave early, one WhatsApp message brings the car back to the agreed pickup spot.
Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park sit just across the bridge from PortMiami.
That makes the downtown waterfront the natural first stop: a harborside lunch at Bayside, a walk through Bayfront Park, and a look back at the ships you may have just left. Groups that want a sit-down meal can take a short hop south to Brickell’s restaurant row instead. For the full Miami baseball mood, though, head to Little Havana itself, the ballpark’s own neighborhood. Versailles, the Cuban-American institution on Eighth Street, is a rite of passage for Cuban coffee and pastries, and nearby Domino Park is where regulars slap down tiles in the shade. After the final out, Ball & Chain keeps the live music going on the same strip. Because you book by the hour, your chauffeur loops between these spots and waits at each one, so the group never circles for parking or splits into separate cars. These are suggestions for your hours, not reservations we create.
Yes, a dinner stop fits naturally into an hourly booking. Many groups eat in Little Havana before first pitch, then celebrate a win over a late dinner in Brickell or Coconut Grove. Tell the chauffeur when you want to move on. If dinner runs long, you can keep the car longer on the day.
Headcount decides the tier, and each option keeps your whole group in a single vehicle.
A mixed group, such as a Chicago family visiting South Florida cousins who cheer for the other side, often does better in one Sprinter than in two SUVs, because the rivalry banter is half the fun of the ride. The Platinum SUV suits a smaller party celebrating the long weekend in style. Whichever tier you choose, the whole vehicle is yours for the block.
Yes. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the private van option for larger groups, and it is reserved for your party alone for the whole block. Everyone rides over from PortMiami together and gets back in the same seats after the game, which is easier than coordinating several cars. There’s room for signs, jerseys, and merch; tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big.
A reserved vehicle and one chauffeur turn the holiday outing into a upscale service.
The vehicle is private and reserved for your group alone. It is never shared with other fans, so the conversation and the seating stay yours. One bilingual chauffeur, fluent in English and Spanish, stays with you for the whole block. That matters in a city where a Cuban-American grandmother and a visiting Chicago uncle may share the back row. Your flat hourly rate is locked at booking and never goes up because of holiday demand, the weather, or a sellout crowd pouring out after the game. The same driver waits between stops, so there is no re-requesting a ride and no wondering who shows up next. You also get a direct WhatsApp line to our team from the first message to the final drop-off. The result is a better experience on the day: less time at the curb, more time with your people, and a ride home that is already sorted before the anthem.
Paying for the day is simple: the full fare is paid at booking.
You reserve one vehicle for a block of hours and direct the day yourself.
Start by choosing the tier that fits your headcount, then share your start time and the stops on your wish list. The driver picks up at any Miami address, whether that’s a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal (a cruise-day arrival can head straight to the game), Miami International Airport, or a home. The exact spot is agreed at booking. From there you set the stops and the route: lunch in Little Havana, the ballpark, then a victory round in Wynwood. You can add a stop, drop one, or linger wherever the schedule allows, and your chauffeur waits at each stop. After the 5-hour block, every additional hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate, with no new fare to work out. If the game or the celebration runs long, keep the car for as long as you need it.
Trips inside daytime hours, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, carry no surcharge; outside that window, one applies.
A holiday ballgame and a dinner stop often fit inside daytime hours, so many Memorial Day groups never see this surcharge on their bill. 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. For a very early pickup at PortMiami, the same window applies at the other end of the day, which matters only for the earliest ship arrivals.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all built into the hourly rate you book.
On a ballpark day, that matters more than it sounds. The rate covers the expressway tolls between PortMiami and Little Havana, the fuel for every loop between lunch, the game, and dinner, and whatever the chauffeur pays to keep the vehicle close during the game. You never hand over a card at a lot or add up receipts afterward. The rate also covers the upscale vehicle itself and your chauffeur’s time for the whole block, including every minute spent waiting while you watch the game or linger over dinner. Waiting is not a separate line item; it is part of the hours you reserved. The only extras that can change the final total are hours you choose to add on the day and the night surcharge above for driving outside daytime hours.
Yes. Message our team on WhatsApp with your group size, start time, and planned stops.
Booking takes a few messages, not a form. Tell us how many people are riding, when you’d like to be picked up at PortMiami, and the rough plan for the day: lunch first, straight to the game, dinner afterward, or a mix. We confirm the vehicle tier, the pickup point, and your hours, then send the payment request so the date is held for you. Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest stretches on the Miami calendar, with cruise turnarounds, beach crowds, and a holiday ballgame all happening together, so the earlier your request arrives, the wider your choice of vehicles. Visiting Cubs fans planning the trip from Chicago can book well before flying in, and Marlins families can lock in a date as soon as the schedule fits. The questions below cover the practical details guests ask about most before confirming.
The hourly service stays local. It covers 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 an on-call, unhurried service built around the city, so it doesn’t run out to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Short-notice bookings are welcome, and your slot is locked in and held just for you. Inside that final 24-hour window, a driver and vehicle are already set aside, so the date and time run exactly as agreed. On such short notice, a date change or a refund can’t be guaranteed. On the day itself, you can always add more hours.
Yes. Secure your seats first through the Marlins’ official channels, then book the chauffeur around the confirmed start time. We provide the private car and driver, not game tickets, so the ride plan builds on the seats you already have. Once your tickets are in hand, your chauffeur can time the PortMiami departure to match.
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.

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.

No hidden fees: the quoted price includes the driver, fuel and tolls. 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.
Note: any refund claim — including a driver no-show or another service issue — must reach us within 30 days of your scheduled pickup. Requests made more than a month after the ride date are no longer eligible for review or refund.
