Our private hourly chauffeur carries your group from Surfside to Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets at Kaseya Center on Sunday, December 27, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, locked at booking, with a 5-hour minimum. Tip-off is 6:00 PM, and your bilingual driver collects you anywhere in Surfside and stays with the same car until everyone is home.
Each vehicle tier carries one flat hourly rate, booked for a minimum of five hours.
The rate applies per vehicle, not per seat, so a group of friends in the Black SUV XL shares a single hourly price rather than paying individually. That setup works well on a holiday-week Sunday, when a Surfside group may want the afternoon for lunch by the beach, the evening at the game, and a late bite downtown afterward, all on one running clock. Bigger parties move into the two Sprinter tiers, which keep everyone in one cabin instead of splitting across several cars. The Platinum SUV suits a smaller group celebrating something, like a birthday, visiting relatives, or a first Heat game, that wants the most polished interior we run. Rides that continue past the 6:00 PM cutoff pick up the surcharge explained further down the page.
You pay the full fare when you book.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips outside that window add the charge listed below for your 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. It can apply later in the night. Nothing else changes after dark: you keep the same vehicle, the same driver, and the same hourly rate.
The Miami Heat host the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, December 27, 2026, with tip-off at 6:00 PM.
It is a regular-season NBA game at Kaseya Center, the bayfront arena on Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami. It also falls in the holiday week right after Christmas, when Miami fills with visiting relatives, winter travelers, and locals off work. That timing shapes the whole evening. Expect a lively, family-heavy crowd, a busier-than-usual downtown, and restaurants around Bayside Marketplace and Brickell filling up before and after the game. For a Surfside group, the ride is less about distance than about timing: getting across the bay, into the arena crowd, and back out again without circling for parking or waiting on a curb with tired kids. A chauffeur hired by the hour turns all of that into one smooth evening, with the same car taking you from the beach to the arena and home again.
A Heat home crowd mirrors Miami itself. Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican, and Caribbean fans sit alongside longtime season-ticket holders, young professionals, and visitors from Latin America and Europe. A post-Christmas game brings out even more families and relatives in town for the holidays, and that is when one vehicle for three generations makes the night much easier.
Your chauffeur drives south from Surfside and crosses Biscayne Bay into Downtown Miami. The usual options are the Julia Tuttle Causeway, which carries you west to the mainland before a short run south into downtown, or the John F. Kennedy Causeway off 71st Street, which meets Biscayne Boulevard for a straight drive toward the bayfront. On some evenings the smarter call is to stay on Collins Avenue through Miami Beach and cross on the MacArthur Causeway, which lands right beside the downtown waterfront.
Your driver chooses on the day by reading live traffic rather than sticking to a fixed plan, because on a holiday-week Sunday one causeway can slow down while another stays clear. You never have to think about exits, lane merges, or which downtown garage is filling up. You settle in, catch up with your group, and reach in the right mood for tip-off.
Allow a generous cushion and plan to leave Surfside well before the 6:00 PM tip-off. Holiday-week traffic, the pre-game rush along Biscayne Boulevard, and arena security lines all take time. Most groups like to arrive early enough to find their seats, grab food, and watch warm-ups. Share your plans and your driver can suggest a departure time.
The drive is a cross-bay trip rather than a long haul, but game-night traffic typically stretches it. Holiday visitors crowd every causeway, and downtown streets tighten as the crowd converges on the arena. Allow extra time and let the chauffeur choose the lighter route while you relax in the back with your group.
Pickup works at any address in Surfside you select when booking.
If you’re staying at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club or one of the oceanfront hotels along Collins Avenue, you meet the driver at the lobby entrance, where the vehicle pulls up at the agreed time. Families in the quieter residential blocks west of Collins, or in the condo towers facing the beach, are picked up right outside their building, so nobody walks a block in game jerseys. Staying in a holiday rental? A pickup at that Surfside address works exactly the same way. If part of your group is staying next door in Bal Harbour or across the water in Bay Harbor Islands, the chauffeur can collect them on the same loop before heading south. Share the exact pickup spot on WhatsApp when you book, and your group only has to walk out the door when the car is ready.
In Surfside or next door in Bal Harbour, a pre-game meal fits easily into the booking.
With a 6:00 PM tip-off on a Sunday, many groups start with a relaxed late lunch rather than a full dinner. The restaurants at The Surf Club draw a special-occasion crowd. Harding Avenue, Surfside’s small main street, keeps things casual with cafés, bakeries, and neighborhood spots where locals linger over coffee. Just north, the dining rooms inside Bal Harbour Shops suit a group that wants a polished meal and a little browsing before the game. Because you have the car by the hour, the driver stays close by and is ready the moment the check is paid, with no valet ticket and no one hunting for a space. The same vehicle then heads straight across the bay, so lunch in Surfside fits neatly before tip-off. These are only ideas for your booked hours; you pick the table and make the reservation.
Yes, as long as your booked hours cover it. A group can start with brunch or lunch in Surfside, take a walk on the beach or a quick visit to Bal Harbour Shops, and then head downtown for tip-off. The same chauffeur covers the whole day, and you decide how long each stop lasts.
Your driver drops the group as close to the arena entrance as game-night access allows.
Downtown streets around the arena tighten well before tip-off, with traffic control, closed lanes, and a steady stream of fans on foot along Biscayne Boulevard. The chauffeur works around it by picking whichever bayfront or side-street approach is moving best, so everyone steps out at the drop-off point without a long walk from a garage. The best way to beat tip-off traffic is to leave Surfside early. If you reach ahead of the heaviest wave, the drop-off stays calm instead of crowded. Holiday-week crowds make the stretch around Bayside Marketplace especially busy, so the driver may suggest a drop-off a short, easy walk from the doors rather than joining the slowest line of cars. Everyone gets out together, tickets in hand, and heads inside.
Yes. Waiting through the game is part of an hourly booking. Your chauffeur stays with the vehicle in the area for the full game instead of leaving and coming back, and you can reach them on WhatsApp. You have no event parking to pay for and no car to move. The waiting time simply counts toward your booked hours.
Agree on a pickup spot with your driver before you head inside, then send a WhatsApp message as you walk out. The whole crowd leaves at once, so a set spot a short walk from the busiest corner usually beats waiting at the main doors. Your driver confirms, pulls up, and the group is on its way back to Surfside.
You reserve one vehicle and one driver for a block of hours, then set the plan. Start by picking the tier that fits your group, then select when the clock starts, whether that’s a late-lunch pickup in Surfside or a straight run to the game.
The first five hours form your base block, and the chauffeur stays with you for all of it: every stop, every wait, and every leg of the evening. You set the order of stops and can change it as you go. The driver picks up at any Miami address, with the exact spot agreed at booking. That can be a hotel, a home, Miami International Airport, or a PortMiami cruise terminal if you’re stepping off a ship that morning and heading straight to the game. If the night runs longer than planned, keep the car. Every additional hour after the five-hour block is simply added at the same flat hourly rate for your vehicle, with no new fare to negotiate, and settled after the day.
A private chauffeur turns a crowded downtown game night into a relaxed evening.
Your group gets a premium vehicle reserved only for you and never shared, plus a bilingual chauffeur who speaks English and Spanish, which is handy for visiting relatives. The flat hourly rate is locked the moment you book, with no surge on a packed Sunday or a rainy night, so every hour costs the rate you agreed to. The same chauffeur stays with you through the game, so the evening never depends on finding a ride. You reach us directly on WhatsApp, from the first question to the final drop-off in Surfside, with no call center involved. Nobody in the group has to stay sober to drive, circle for a garage spot, or walk to a distant lot after dark. We built our premium service around that: a clean vehicle, a chauffeur who knows the downtown approaches, and a better experience from the first pickup to the last goodbye.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple to a big holiday family.
Every tier comes with its own chauffeur and the same private, by-the-hour service, so the only real questions are how many people are riding and how much room you want. A group that fits one tier comfortably can frequently move up for extra space, which helps when friends join along the way. Send the headcount on WhatsApp and we’ll match the vehicle to the group.
Yes. A private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter keeps the whole group in a single vehicle with one chauffeur, so nobody splits into a second car or loses track of each other downtown. Choose the larger Sprinter if cousins, grandparents, or friends from Bal Harbour are joining, and confirm the final headcount on WhatsApp before game day.
Your hourly rate covers the full chauffeured service, and only a few extras are possible.
Along with the essentials in the quick facts above, the rate covers every minute your chauffeur spends waiting between stops. The drive across the bay, the time between tip-off and the final buzzer, and the ride home all run on the same hourly clock, with no separate charge for any of them. Only three things can add to the total. The first is the night surcharge for trips outside daytime hours, detailed earlier on this page. The third is any time you decide to add: hours beyond your booked block are billed at your vehicle’s hourly rate, so they are never free and never marked up. Bringing team signs, extra merch, or a garment bag for a postgame dinner? Tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big, and we’ll set aside the right vehicle.
The hourly service covers Surfside and the wider local Miami area.
Your chauffeur stays around the parts of the city you’ll actually enjoy on game day: Surfside, Bal Harbour, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Wynwood, Little Havana, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Doral, and the neighborhoods around Miami International Airport, plus neighboring areas up toward Fort Lauderdale. That keeps the service local, on call, and unhurried, with the driver always close to your next stop rather than far down a highway. Longer runs out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach aren’t part of this hourly service, which is built for days and nights around Miami. For a Heat game, that area fits perfectly. You can have lunch by the beach in Surfside, catch tip-off downtown, enjoy a nightcap in Brickell or a stroll along the bay near Bayside Marketplace, and ride home, all within the neighborhoods your driver knows best.
Yes. A private chauffeur by the hour takes your group from Surfside to the game. Your group rides in its own Black SUV XL, Sprinter, or Platinum SUV, leaves when you select, and never shares the cabin with anyone outside your party.
Surfside visitors like how simple it is on a busy holiday weekend. Nobody has to learn the downtown street grid or coordinate several cars across the bay to reach Kaseya Center. Grandparents ride along in comfort, and friend groups plan the night around the game instead of around the drive. The ride is arranged before anyone leaves home, so there is no scramble on the sidewalk after the final buzzer, and the whole party travels together both ways. The private service is the same whether two of you are riding or a full holiday group.
Yes, if a driver and vehicle are free. Once we agree on a pickup within the next 24 hours, that slot is locked in and held just for you, and the booking runs exactly as planned. On such short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund. You can always add more hours on the day.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Yes, the evening doesn’t have to end at the arena. Brickell’s restaurants and the waterfront around Bayside Marketplace are close by. Your chauffeur can take the group there for a postgame dinner, wait, and then drive everyone back to Surfside. Just keep an eye on your booked hours, or extend them on the spot.
Yes, adding a pickup on the route is easy. The chauffeur can leave Surfside, collect friends in North Beach, Mid-Beach, or South Beach, and continue across the bay to the game. Share every address when you book so the timing works, and choose a vehicle large enough for the full group once everyone is aboard.
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.

To reserve, send one WhatsApp message with your group size, start time, and stops.
Tell us how many people are riding, where in Surfside you’d like to be picked up, roughly when you want to leave, and any places on your wish list, such as lunch on Harding Avenue, a stop in Bal Harbour, or a postgame dinner in Brickell. We’ll check availability for December 27, match the right vehicle to your group, and send a secure Stripe payment link for the full fare. Holiday week is one of the busiest stretches on the Miami calendar, and a Sunday-evening Heat home game makes it busier, so reserving early gives you the widest choice of vehicles. From there, the plan is yours: the car pulls up at your door, the evening runs at your pace, and the ride home is ready when the game ends. Confirm your booking now, and the only thing left to watch is the scoreboard.
