A private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Surfside to Buena Vista Social Club at the Adrienne Arsht Center on Thursday, October 1, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Your bilingual driver collects you in Surfside before the 7:30 PM performance, stays with the same vehicle all evening, and brings everyone home, with the rate locked at booking and no surge.
Each rate below is per vehicle, not per seat, and every booking covers a minimum of five hours.
The Black SUV XL suits a couple or a small circle of friends heading to the theater. The two Sprinter tiers keep a larger family or a whole birthday party together in one vehicle, so nobody has to split across cars. The Platinum SUV is the pick for guests who desire the most polished arrival on a dressy show night. Because the rate belongs to the vehicle, a full SUV or Sprinter spreads the cost across everyone riding. Choose the tier by head count first, then by how formal the night feels to your group.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all built into the hourly rate you book.
Tolls along the route and parking during the evening never show up as a separate line on the bill. One brief comfort stop for a restroom, a snack, or a quick stretch is simple to fit in mid-booking. Ask the driver, and the flat rate stays the same. If you are bringing something bulky, such as a garment bag for a dressier look, tell us in advance so the right vehicle is ready. Let us know ahead of time on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether we can accommodate it for that booking. 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.
You pay for your show night in full when you book.
Buena Vista Social Club is the Tony- and Grammy-winning Broadway musical now touring to Miami.
The show tells the story behind the landmark Cuban album that brought a generation of veteran musicians back into the spotlight, and a live Afro-Cuban band plays on stage all night. Miami has a personal stake in it: the book is by Hialeah-raised playwright Marco Ramirez, and the choreography is by Miami native Patricia Delgado. The production plays a limited run in the Arsht Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House and opens the new Broadway in Miami season. The Thursday, October 1, 2026 performance starts at 7:30 PM. During the run, the venue also hosts Rhythm & Roots at the Arsht, a free celebration of Cuban music and culture. Expect a crowd that spans generations, from grandparents who grew up with this music to younger fans hearing it live for the first time. Performance details are listed on the Buena Vista Social Club event page.
Yes. If the free celebration has something on before your performance, start the booking earlier and have the driver bring the group in ahead of curtain. Check the venue’s own schedule for what is happening on October 1. Then tell us your preferred arrival time so the pickup in Surfside and any dinner stop fit around it.
Your chauffeur meets you at whatever Surfside address you choose when booking.
Hotel guests commonly meet the car at the lobby on Collins Avenue, where Surfside’s beachfront hotels line the ocean side of the street. Residents and vacation renters are picked up right at the door, whether that is a condo tower facing the ocean or a quieter home on the residential streets west of Harding Avenue. Tell us the exact entrance when you book, especially for larger buildings with a separate lobby, a covered drop-off region, or a residents’ driveway. That way the vehicle waits where your group actually walks out. Dressing up for the theater is part of the fun, and with the car right outside, nobody walks a block in heels or a jacket through the early-evening heat. Groups can also gather at one Surfside address first so everyone rolls out together.
Yes, just add them as a stop on the way out. Bal Harbour sits just north of Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands lies across the water to the west, so collecting a second household makes an easy first leg. Send each address when you book, and your driver plans the order so everyone is aboard before turning south.
Surfside and neighboring Bal Harbour offer well-known dinner spots for a relaxed meal before curtain.
The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is home to Le Sirenuse Miami and The Surf Club Restaurant, two polished rooms that suit a dressy theater night. Harding Avenue, Surfside’s small downtown strip, has relaxed neighborhood restaurants and cafes for a quicker dinner close to home. Just north, Bal Harbour Shops has several sit-down restaurants for groups who desire a little more buzz before heading downtown. Given the show’s Cuban roots, some groups favor a Cuban dinner in Little Havana instead, then ride on to the theater with the mood already set. Whichever you choose, build it into the start time. The driver collects you, parks while you eat, and has the car at the door when the check is paid. We don’t book tables, so reserve directly with the restaurant, then share the name and time with us on WhatsApp.
Yes, and that is exactly what the hourly booking is built for. Start the block early enough to cover dinner, whether in Surfside or on the way downtown, and the same vehicle carries the group from the restaurant to the show and home again. It is one booking with one driver, and there is no second pickup to arrange between the meal and curtain.
Your chauffeur heads south from Surfside and crosses Biscayne Bay toward Biscayne Boulevard.
On most evenings the route runs down Collins Avenue through Miami Beach, then west over the Julia Tuttle Causeway onto I-195. From there it links with Biscayne Boulevard or I-95 for the final approach downtown. When Collins is crawling, the driver may cut across on the 79th Street Causeway or the Broad Causeway instead and come down Biscayne Boulevard from the north. In light traffic the ride typically takes well under an hour. On a weekday evening, though, commuter traffic is still thinning out, so allow a generous cushion. Your chauffeur makes the call on the road based on live conditions rather than sticking to a fixed plan. Everyone inside merely settles in, and nobody has to check a map or hunt for the right exit. The ride ends at the drop-off point nearest the theater, which the timing section below covers.
A private car that stays with you all evening is the simplest option, because the ride home is settled before you even leave. Nobody has to be the designated driver, and nobody hunts for a downtown garage. The chauffeur who brought you in is ready when the music ends, so the evening never splits into separate rides.
Plan to leave Surfside with enough margin to be seated well before the 7:30 PM curtain.
Getting through the doors, scanning tickets, and finding your seats all take time on a busy performance night, and a rushed arrival spoils the first notes of that live band. The simplest method is to work backward. Choose when you desire to be seated, add the drive from Surfside with a relaxing cushion for Thursday evening traffic, and then add dinner if it is part of the plan. We help you set that pickup time when you book, and if your group decides to linger over dessert, the driver merely adjusts. Groups coming straight from the beach or the pool should build in time to change, since the car can wait outside the building while the last person gets ready. Leaving a little early also gives you a moment to take photos outside the theater and settle in before the house lights dim.
Your driver brings the group to the drop-off point as close to the venue as access allows, near the Ziff Ballet Opera House on Biscayne Boulevard, leaving only a short walk to the entrance. If traffic officers redirect cars during the pre-show rush, the chauffeur uses the nearest workable curb and confirms the pickup spot with you before you head inside.
Yes. The car is yours for the whole booking, so the driver stays nearby with the vehicle for the entire performance. When the final bows finish, send a quick WhatsApp message. The chauffeur brings the car back to the agreed pickup point and drives everyone home to Surfside, with no line and no search for your ride.
A private chauffeur turns show night into a upscale service from the first pickup onward.
Your vehicle is a clean, upscale SUV or Sprinter reserved for your group alone. One chauffeur stays with you for the whole block instead of handing you off partway through the night. The hourly rate is flat and locked at booking, so a packed performance night, rain over the causeway, or a slow stretch of Biscayne Boulevard never adds surge to what you pay. The same driver is there for you before and after the curtain, and you can reach both the chauffeur and our team directly on WhatsApp when plans shift mid-evening. For grandparents, kids, and anyone in dress shoes, that adds up to a better experience than driving downtown yourself: fewer steps and a peaceful ride back to Surfside after an evening full of music. Every booking is built around that upscale service.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours, not a single ride.
Start by picking the vehicle tier for your head count, then choose a start time that covers your evening. Your booking begins with a five-hour block, and from there the plan is yours. You set the stops, the order, and the pace, and you can change them along the way. Pickup works from any Miami address, whether that is a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal, Miami International Airport, or a home. A group stepping off a cruise that morning can ride straight to the show, and the exact spot is agreed at booking. The chauffeur stays with the same vehicle for the whole block and parks nearby whenever you are inside somewhere. If the evening runs longer than planned, keep the car. Every additional hour after the five-hour block is merely added at the same per-hour rate, with no new fare to negotiate.
Here is how the evening surcharge works for each vehicle type.
The surcharge is a one-time add-on tied to the trip rather than an increase to your hourly rate, so the per-hour figure stays as booked. The same structure applies whether the night ends back in Surfside, at a late restaurant downtown, or anywhere in between. If you plan to start the day earlier, share the full timeline when booking so the surcharge is clear from the start.
Four private vehicle tiers cover everything from a couple to a large family party.
Every tier is private, so the vehicle carries only your party from first pickup to final drop-off. If your head count falls right at the edge of a tier, moving one size up leaves more room for jackets, handbags, or a sleepy child on the ride home. The Platinum reference cars illustrate the class of vehicle rather than promising one exact model.
Most Surfside riders book in one WhatsApp conversation once a few details are ready.
Send your group size, a rough start time, and the stops on your wish list, such as a Harding Avenue dinner, a friend’s pickup in Bal Harbour, and the theater itself. Add the Surfside pickup address and mention any extra-large item so we assign the right vehicle. We reply with the vehicle tier that fits, confirm the pickup time, and hold the date once your payment arrives. From then on, WhatsApp is the easiest way to coordinate on the night, from a slightly later dinner to a change in the ride home. If some details are still open, send what you have, and we can refine the stops and the order of the evening as plans settle. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
Yes. Book a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or SUV that carries only your group from Surfside to the show and back. There are no fixed departure times, no other passengers, and no stops except the ones you choose, so the private van works as your own event ride for the whole evening.
Yes. The hourly service stays local and on call in Surfside, 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. We keep this unhurried service close to the city, so it doesn’t run out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Your slot is locked in and held just for you. Once the date and time are agreed for a service within the next 24 hours, a driver and vehicle are already set aside. The booking then runs exactly as planned, and on such short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund. You can always add more hours on the day.
Yes. Just tell the driver where the night goes next. Some groups head to Brickell or Wynwood for a nightcap, others want a late Cuban bite in Little Havana to keep the music going a little longer, and plenty go straight home to Surfside. Extra stops fit within your booked hours, and you can stay out later if you like.
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.

Yes. You can reserve your chauffeur for the October 1 performance by WhatsApp, phone, or email.
Picture the evening. Your reserved SUV or Sprinter pulls up outside your Surfside building, the group settles in, and the conversation turns to the music long before the causeway comes into view. Nobody watches the clock at dinner, the drop-off leaves only a short walk to your seats, and after the final song, nobody has to think about getting home. That is the night we plan for every Surfside booking, whether it is two friends in the Black SUV XL or an extended family filling a Sprinter. Share your group size and your plan, pay the fare to hold the date, and the rest of the evening is yours to enjoy.

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.

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.
