Our private hourly chauffeur service takes your group from PortMiami to Miami Marlins vs. New York Mets at loanDepot park on Opening Day, March 25, 2027, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. The same driver stays with you from the port to the final out, the price is locked at booking with no surge, and the ballpark day runs on your schedule.
Rates depend on the vehicle, and every booking covers at least five hours.
Five hours lines up well with a ballpark day: the pickup at the port, a relaxed lunch on the way, the drive across town, nine innings, and the ride back to your hotel or home. Choose the tier by headcount and comfort rather than by journey, since the same car and chauffeur carry you through every stop on the list. Groups that want the day to keep going, with a postgame dinner in Brickell or a sunset drink on the bay, simply stay with the same vehicle instead of starting over with a new ride. Everything the rate covers, and the few things that can add to it, is laid out further down this page.
A private chauffeur by the hour is the calmest way from the cruise port to Opening Day.
The 2027 home opener is the Marlins’ biggest home date of the season, and with the Mets in town the stands fill with Marlins red and Miami blue alongside plenty of New York orange and blue. Transplanted Mets fans, snowbirds stretching out their winter, and Miami families who circle the opener every spring all converge on loanDepot park in Little Havana, just west of downtown. PortMiami sits across Biscayne Bay on Dodge Island, so the journey is a cross-town ride rather than a road journey. The challenge is that much of the city seems to make the same move at the same hour. A reserved chauffeur takes that off your plate: the group rides together from the port, skips circling for a parking space, and walks into the ballpark with nothing to manage but the scorecard. First pitch time has not been announced yet, so your start time is set around it once the league confirms it.
Most game-day runs leave the port through the PortMiami Tunnel, join I-395 westbound, and follow the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) before dropping onto local streets in Little Havana. When the expressway backs up, the chauffeur can switch to surface routes such as Flagler Street or NW 7th Street and follow live traffic rather than a fixed path.
On a quiet afternoon the ride is typically a short cross-town trip, but Opening Day is anything but quiet. Allow a generous cushion for tunnel and expressway traffic plus the slow final approach to the ballpark, and treat departure as the one part of the day you shouldn’t squeeze. Your chauffeur suggests a pickup time once first pitch is announced.
Your chauffeur meets you at the cruise terminal curb, a nearby hotel lobby, or a residence.
Cruise passengers are met at the passenger pickup area outside their ship’s terminal once they’ve cleared disembarkation. Share the ship name and terminal when you book, and the exact spot is confirmed over WhatsApp before the day. Guests who spent the night on the mainland, along Biscayne Boulevard, in Downtown Miami, or in Brickell, are collected right from the hotel lobby, and a private residence works just as well. Wherever you start, the pickup point is agreed at booking, so nobody wanders the curb looking for a car. Because the booking runs by the hour, your driver isn’t racing to the next fare. If the ship clears a little late or someone needs one more coffee, the car is already yours and simply stays ready. Last-minute tweaks go straight to the driver on WhatsApp.
Yes, a cruise-day arrival can ride from the ship straight into the ballpark day. Many ships finish disembarking in the morning, which leaves time for a relaxed lunch in Little Havana before first pitch. Tell us the ship and your expected disembarkation window, and we plan your block of hours around it.
Leave PortMiami well ahead of first pitch, because Opening Day brings the year’s heaviest ballpark traffic.
Home openers draw a crowd that regular-season dates rarely match, and many fans want to be in their seats early for the pregame ceremony and the lineup introductions. Plan backward from that moment: time to clear the security line at the entrance, the slow final crawl through the blocks around the ballpark, and the tunnel-and-expressway drive from the port. Your chauffeur knows how the Little Havana grid fills up on a large game day and will suggest a pickup time with a comfortable cushion built in, then adjust it once first pitch is announced. An early arrival is never wasted: you have time to find your seats, grab concourse food, and take in the opener atmosphere. Before you step out, everyone agrees on one simple plan: where to meet after the last out.
The chauffeur drops your group as close to the entrance as access allows, following the event-day traffic pattern around the ballpark. Before you step out, you agree on a pickup point and a WhatsApp check-in for after the final out, so regrouping takes one message instead of a search through the crowd.
Yes. Your driver waits through the whole game, extra innings included, because the car is booked by the hour rather than by the trip. If the day stretches past your reserved block, the extra time is simply added to the booking, so no one ends up refreshing a phone on a crowded sidewalk while the stands empty.
Bayside Marketplace, directly across the water from the cruise terminals, is the easiest pregame meeting spot.
Bayside sits on Biscayne Bay beside Bayfront Park, with waterfront restaurants and open-air bars where a group can regroup after disembarking or meet friends flying in for the opener. For a more local flavor, the driver can head toward the ballpark early and stop in Little Havana, where a Cuban lunch at Versailles on SW 8th Street is a Miami ritual for visiting fans and locals alike. Brickell is the pick for a polished client lunch among the towers. Because the car is booked by the hour, your chauffeur handles parking and waits outside each stop, so the group can linger and still reach the ballpark in good time. These are ideas for your hours. The tables are yours to reserve, and the driver is always glad to suggest a route.
Yes. Add a postgame dinner anywhere on your route, and the chauffeur drives you there as the crowd thins out. Brickell and Downtown Miami keep kitchens busy into the evening, and South Beach suits groups who want the celebration to continue. The stop is part of your hourly booking, so there’s no separate fare to arrange.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into the hourly rate from first pickup to last drop-off.
Tolls on the Dolphin Expressway and whatever parking the driver needs while your group is inside the ballpark never show up as separate charges. Onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot keeps everyone connected for digital tickets, lineups, and photos on the ride over. A brief comfort stop for a restroom, a snack, or a stretch is easy to fit in along the way and doesn’t change the rate. Bringing signs, jerseys, or fresh Opening Day merch? There’s room aboard. Just tell us in advance if you’re bringing something large. Only two things can add to the total, and each is spelled out before you pay: trips outside daytime hours carry the night surcharge listed below, and each extra hour you choose to add is billed at your vehicle’s rate.
A vehicle reserved for your group alone turns a packed Opening Day into a premium service experience.
Nobody in your party has to be the designated driver, hunt for a parking spot, or squint at a map while the crowd builds. Your rate is flat and locked when you book, with no surge for the biggest home crowd of the year, so the budget you plan is the budget you keep. The same chauffeur greets you at the port and stays with your group through the final out. That means the person driving you home already knows your plans, your pickup point, and who still needs a stop. Conversation flows easily in English or Spanish, and you reach your driver directly on WhatsApp instead of going through a call center. It adds up to better service and a better experience from the first mile to the last, the kind of day where the only thing anyone has to watch is the game.
For Opening Day, a private car usually wins. Driving yourself means sitting in the parking lines, walking back to a distant lot, and choosing someone to stay sober for the drive home. With a chauffeur, every person in the group, including the friend who usually drives, simply enjoys the game, and the ride home is already arranged.
Payment is simple and arranged directly over WhatsApp.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple of fans to a full family section.
Every tier is private and always comes with your chauffeur. Pick by headcount first, then by the feel of the day. The SUV suits a relaxed family outing, the Sprinter keeps a large group together in one vehicle instead of splitting it across several cars, and the Platinum SUV makes a more executive arrival for clients or a milestone birthday. Not sure which fits? Send your headcount on WhatsApp and we’ll point you to the right tier.
You reserve a vehicle and a chauffeur for a block of hours, then set every stop yourself.
Start by choosing the tier that matches your headcount, then send us a rough start time and the stops on your wish list: a pregame lunch, the ballpark, a postgame dinner, a detour to pick up a friend. The driver picks up at any Miami address, whether that’s a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home, and the exact spot is agreed at booking. From there the same driver stays with your group for the whole block and follows your plan rather than a fixed route. Add a stop, drop one, or linger longer when the day calls for it. When the five-hour block runs out, nothing ends abruptly. Every additional hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate, so you can keep the car as long as you need and settle the extra time after the day.
Within the final 24 hours, your date and time are locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. On that short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, so the booking runs as agreed. The good news is that you can always add more hours on the day itself.
Daytime service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM carries no surcharge at all. Trips outside those hours add the surcharge below, based on your vehicle type.
A day game from PortMiami usually fits inside daytime hours, even with a pregame lunch and a slow walk out after the last out. 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. Opening Day’s start time has not been announced, so at booking we’ll tell you whether the pickup is between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM. That way the total is clear before you pay.
Yes. You can reserve a private driver for the home opener before first pitch time is set.
Opening Day is the one Marlins date when demand for cars spikes across the city, so booking early means your vehicle tier and chauffeur are set aside while others are still deciding. Send your group size, where you’ll be in PortMiami (ship and terminal, or hotel), a rough time you’d like to leave, and any stops on your wish list, and we confirm everything over WhatsApp. Once the league announces first pitch, we fine-tune the pickup time with you. The people who book this ride tend to be Mets fans stepping off a cruise with one more day of vacation, Miami families who make the opener a tradition, and hosts treating clients or friends to a proper afternoon at loanDepot park. Whatever the occasion, the car is private and the plan is yours.
Yes. A private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter reserved for your group alone, with its own chauffeur, takes you from the port to the game and back. No strangers board, no fixed timetable applies, and the vehicle leaves when your group is ready instead of when a schedule says so.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Our hourly chauffeur service stays local, covering Miami and nearby areas up toward Fort Lauderdale.
Think of it as an on-call, unhurried car that stays around the city with you. Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, and the area around Miami International Airport are all home turf, along with the neighborhoods heading north toward Fort Lauderdale. That’s exactly the territory an Opening Day group moves through: the port, a lunch spot, the ballpark, a dinner table, a hotel. The service is built around staying close and waiting nearby, so we keep it in and around Miami rather than sending it out to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach. The payoff is a driver who knows these streets and their event-day patterns well, and who is always close at hand when you’re ready for the next stop.
Yes. Add a pickup for friends staying in Brickell, Miami Beach, or Coconut Grove, and the chauffeur collects them on the way to the game. List each stop when you book so the route and timing account for everyone, and your whole group arrives together in one vehicle.
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.

Your driver, your route, your pace, booked by the hour and ready when your group is.
