Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Surfside to Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers at Kaseya Center on Tuesday, March 23, 2027, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Tip-off is 8:00 PM. Your bilingual driver picks you up anywhere in Surfside, drops you near the arena, and waits to bring everyone home after the final buzzer.
Each private vehicle has one hourly rate, set by the size of your group.
These rates apply to a booking of at least five hours. That easily covers a weeknight game: pickup in Surfside, an unhurried dinner, the drive into Downtown, the full game, and the ride back up the coast. Select your vehicle by headcount. Couples and small families usually go with the Black SUV XL, while a birthday crew or a group of coworkers will have more room in a Sprinter. You pay for the vehicle, not for each seat, so the more people you bring, the less each fan pays for the night. Hosts entertaining clients tend to select the Platinum SUV for its more polished cabin.
Paying is simple, and almost all of it happens over WhatsApp.
We have four private vehicle options, sized for anything from a date night to an office outing.
This matchup often brings mixed groups, like a Heat season-ticket holder riding in with cousins visiting from Los Angeles in purple and gold. Count everyone who will ride home too, because groups tend to grow once friends hear you have a car. If your number is right at the top of a vehicle’s capacity, booking the next size up keeps the ride comfortable.
A Lakers visit is one of the busiest nights on the Heat’s home schedule.
Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers is on Tuesday, March 23, 2027, with an 8:00 PM tip-off, so fans arrive while weekday traffic is still leaving Brickell and Downtown. On a night like this, Biscayne Boulevard is carrying office traffic, bayfront diners, and a packed arena crowd all at once, and the garages near the arena tend to fill early. If you drive yourself, you either arrive very early to get a space or arrive late and circle the blocks while warmups are underway. After the game everyone leaves at the same time, so getting out of a garage can take a long while. A chauffeured car takes care of both problems. No one in your group has to watch the clock, split a parking bill, or stay sober to drive. You get to savor one of the biggest games of the season while a local driver handles the roads.
Expect a loud Miami crowd with plenty of Lakers purple and gold mixed in. Heat regulars sit alongside Cuban, Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican, and other Latin American families, plus visitors staying in Brickell and on the beach. Lakers fans, West Coast transplants, and travelers give the game a real rivalry feel, and you’ll hear cheering in both English and Spanish.
Your chauffeur picks you up at any address in Surfside, which you agree on when you book.
Most game-night pickups start at an oceanfront hotel or condominium on Collins Avenue, where the car pulls into the front drive or waits at the lobby entrance. Guests at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, for example, can walk out of the lobby and get right in. Families renting a house on the quieter streets west of Harding Avenue are picked up at their front door. If your group is staying at two addresses, you can add a second pickup, including a friend staying just north in Bal Harbour, because you set the stops. When you confirm on WhatsApp, send the building name, the unit or house number, and whether you’d rather meet in the lobby or at the street. Your driver messages you on the way, so no one has to wait outside in the evening humidity guessing which black SUV is theirs.
Surfside and neighboring Bal Harbour are simple places to have dinner before the game.
Harding Avenue, Surfside’s small main street, has casual cafes, bakeries, and kosher restaurants that work well for a quick family meal before the drive. For something dressier, Bal Harbour Shops is just north of town, and its restaurants, including Makoto and Carpaccio, are long-standing favorites before a big night out. Locals also book the dining rooms at The Surf Club for birthdays and business dinners. Your chauffeur waits outside while you eat and heads south once you’ve paid, so you never have to rush dessert because of parking. You make the restaurant reservations, and we plan the car around them. With an 8:00 PM tip-off on a Tuesday, an early dinner in Surfside keeps the evening relaxed and leaves time to deal with the crowd downtown.
Yes. Many groups prefer to eat downtown and walk over. Bayside Marketplace is on the bay right next to the arena and has open-air bars and restaurants, and Brickell’s dining strip is just to the south. Your driver drops you wherever you choose and moves the car until you need it, so the whole group gets to the game relaxed.
Your chauffeur drives south along the coast and brings the group to Downtown’s bayfront.
Before game night, you agree on a simple plan over WhatsApp: the pickup address, any dinner stop, and an arrival time that leaves plenty of room before tip-off. On the night, the driver watches live traffic and picks whichever causeway is moving best. Weeknight games put commuters and arriving fans on the same Downtown streets, so leaving early is the most useful thing your group can do. The arena posts entry guidance and event updates on the Kaseya Center website, and it’s worth checking before you leave. In the car you can relax, charge your phones, and watch pre-game coverage over the hotspot while the driver deals with merges and lane closures. Once you step out, all that’s left is finding your seats.
The usual route follows Collins Avenue south through Miami Beach and then crosses the bay on one of two causeways. The Julia Tuttle Causeway connects to I-95 and Biscayne Boulevard, and the MacArthur Causeway ends right at Downtown’s waterfront. On a busy night, the driver picks whichever is faster at the time. Either way, allow extra time, because both causeways get heavy before tip-off.
Your chauffeur drops you as close to the venue as access allows, usually on Biscayne Boulevard on the bayfront side of the arena. The exact spot depends on the traffic control and lane closures in place that night, and the driver adjusts as needed. Before you get out, you and the driver agree on a meeting point for after the game.
Yes. The car is yours for the whole game, and the driver waits nearby. When the final buzzer sounds, send a WhatsApp message and your chauffeur heads to the meeting point you agreed on. Your group skips the garage exit line and rides straight back to Surfside while the crowd is still looking for their cars.
A reserved car and driver make a crowded weeknight game a peaceful, premium evening.
The vehicle is for your group alone from the first pickup to the last drop-off, so coats, snacks, and souvenirs can stay in the car between stops. Your hourly rate is flat and fixed when you book. There’s no surge when the whole arena empties at once, and the price doesn’t change for traffic or weather. The same bilingual chauffeur stays with you from dinner to the final buzzer, which helps in a city where some of your group may prefer Spanish and others just flew in from California. You also get a direct WhatsApp line to your driver, so changing plans takes one message. Put together, that’s premium service: better service and a better experience on a night when everyone else is fighting over the same curb.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in the hourly rate.
The rate also covers your chauffeur’s time for every hour you book, including the time spent waiting during the game. That matters on this route: if the driver uses tolled express lanes to beat traffic, or parks near the arena while you watch, those costs never show up on your bill. If you need a quick stop for a restroom, a snack, or a stretch, just ask the driver; it doesn’t change the rate. Only a few things can add to the total. You buy your own game tickets, food, and drinks. We provide the private car and the driver, not a ticket package, so you can plan the rest of the night however you like.
Yes. There’s room for what fans usually bring, like signs, jerseys, and merch from the team store. If you plan to bring something big, just tell us in advance.
You reserve a vehicle and driver for a block of hours and plan the evening yourself.
First, select the vehicle that fits your group, then send us a rough start time and the stops you want. The booking lasts at least five hours, and for a Tuesday night game most groups find that covers dinner, the game, and the ride home without anyone watching the clock. Once the car arrives, the same chauffeur stays with you for every hour of the booking and follows your plan, not a set route. Want to stop for jerseys, switch restaurants, or drop a friend at a Brickell apartment on the way back? Tell the driver and the evening adjusts. You don’t have to fix an itinerary in advance, and changing it doesn’t mean a new fare. Everything is confirmed on WhatsApp, so all the details are in one thread you can check from your seat.
Yes. The driver can pick you up at any Miami address agreed at booking, whether that’s a hotel, a home, the Miami International Airport arrivals curb, or a PortMiami cruise terminal. If you’re getting off a cruise that day, you can go straight to the game. If you land that afternoon, you can stop at your Surfside hotel to check in before heading downtown.
Yes, and you only have to tell your driver. After the five-hour block, every additional hour is added at the same flat per-hour rate, with no new fare to negotiate, and you settle it after the night ends. Groups often extend the evening for a nightcap in Brickell or a late bite in Wynwood before heading home.
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. There’s no surcharge between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and outside those hours it depends on the vehicle:
For an SUV, the surcharge is a single flat charge for the trip, not something added every hour. For a Sprinter van, it’s a percentage of the trip value, so it grows with the length of the booking. Either way, it’s shown in your WhatsApp confirmation before you pay, so the total you see when you book is the total you pay.
Yes. A private chauffeured SUV or Sprinter van takes your group from Surfside to the game and back.
Whether you’re searching for a game-night van, a car with a driver for the evening, or luxury transportation to the Heat, the answer here is the same: one vehicle reserved only for your group. No one else rides with you, there’s no fixed departure time, and the car leaves Surfside when your group is ready. Visitors staying in beachfront rentals often assume they need to rent a car and deal with Downtown parking themselves. Here, every vehicle comes with a chauffeur, so no one in your group has to drive. Locals booking for visiting relatives use it the same way, making a Lakers game a full evening out. The questions below cover timing, service area, and booking details for this game.
Leave early enough to reach Downtown well before the 8:00 PM tip-off, because weekday commuters and arriving fans use the same causeways. Allow extra time if you’re having dinner first or want to see warmups. Your driver will suggest a departure time on WhatsApp based on your stops. It’s always better to leave extra time than to cut it close.
The hourly service stays local. It covers Surfside, 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. Because it’s an on-call service that stays around the city, it doesn’t go out to Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Your time slot is reserved just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. On such short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, so the booking goes ahead as agreed. You can still add more hours on the day, at the same hourly rate.
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.
