Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Surfside to Miami Heat vs. Minnesota Timberwolves at Kaseya Center on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in a Black SUV XL at a flat rate from $100 per hour, with a 5-hour minimum. Tip-off is 8:00 PM. The same car and bilingual driver stay with you from your Surfside pickup until you are home again.
Each hourly rate below is per vehicle and depends on the size of your group.
Every booking runs for at least five hours, starting from your Surfside pickup. A full Sprinter of friends splits one hourly price instead of paying by the seat, so the larger vans are simple on a group budget. On a game night the block commonly covers a pre-game dinner, the drive downtown, the game and the ride back to Surfside. Your total depends only on the vehicle you select and how many hours you keep it, and you know it before anyone leaves the lobby.
You reserve one vehicle and one driver for a block of hours, and you decide every stop.
First, select the vehicle that fits your group. Then send us your pickup time and your plan for the evening. The chauffeur picks you up at any address in Surfside, whether that’s a hotel lobby on Collins Avenue, an oceanfront condo or a family home. The day can also start at Miami International Airport or a PortMiami cruise terminal, so if your cruise docks that day, you can ride straight to the game. We agree on the exact pickup spot when you book. From then on, the driver stays with your group for the whole block: dinner first, maybe a drink in another neighborhood, then downtown for tip-off. If you desire the car longer when the first five hours end, just keep it. Each extra hour costs the same per-hour rate as the first five, there’s no new fare to negotiate, and you settle up after the night ends.
A private chauffeur gives your group a better experience on game night, from start to finish.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone and never shared. The cabin is yours for jerseys, pre-game music and simple conversation on the drive downtown. Your hourly rate is flat and locked when you book. It doesn’t surge on a busy Saturday, and it doesn’t change if traffic slows on the causeway. One chauffeur handles the whole evening, so the person who picks you up in Surfside is the same person who drives you home. Every driver speaks English and Spanish, which suits a Heat crowd that often switches languages mid-sentence. You message your chauffeur directly on WhatsApp, so a new dinner spot or an early exit takes one text. To us, premium service means fewer moving parts, a calmer night and more of your attention on the game.
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. Daytime hours, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, have no surcharge, and the amount outside them depends on the vehicle.
For the SUV, the surcharge is one fixed add-on for the whole journey, not an hourly charge. For the van, it’s the percentage shown above. We calculate it and feature it in your confirmation, so it’s part of the plan from the start and not a surprise on the way home. Nothing else changes after dark: same car, same driver, same route you set.
You pay the full fare at booking, and any extra hours are settled at the end.
Fuel, tolls and parking are included, and so is the chauffeur’s time while you’re inside.
You won’t pay for a parking garage downtown, causeway tolls or fuel. The driver’s waiting time is also part of the hourly block, whether your group spends it at dinner in Surfside or watching the game. Adding stops doesn’t change the rate, so take a swift detour for merch or a pre-game drink. A few items can add to the total, and we tell you about them up front. The night surcharge applies to trips outside daytime hours, as explained above. There’s room for what fans commonly bring, like signs, merch and a jacket for the air-conditioned arena. If you plan to bring something big, tell us in advance.
Your chauffeur gets you downtown ahead of the tip-off rush, drops the group close to the arena and waits nearby.
The Miami Heat vs. Minnesota Timberwolves preseason game tips off at 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the bayfront arena on Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami. On a Saturday night, downtown has its own traffic on top of the game crowd, with Bayside Marketplace, Brickell and the waterfront all busy at the same time. Your driver plans around that and leaves Surfside early enough that the group walks in relaxed instead of racing the clock. Nobody in your party has to locate a garage or pay for event parking, so the only thing to decide on arrival is where to meet afterward. The chauffeur handles the drop-off, keeps the car close during the game and brings it back as soon as you message that you’re heading out.
The driver drops your group as close to the venue as access allows on game night, at a spot you agree on during the drive. Downtown traffic control decides the exact spot. Your chauffeur picks the cleanest approach off Biscayne Boulevard and confirms it with you before you step out, so the walk to the entrance stays short.
Yes. Waiting is exactly what the hourly booking pays for. Your chauffeur stays nearby with the car for the whole game and can be reached on WhatsApp the entire time. If someone needs to leave early, a child gets tired or the group wants to slip out before the final minutes, one message brings the car back, with nothing to rebook.
Text your driver as you leave your seats, and the car meets you at the pickup point you agreed on earlier. After the game, crowds fill the surrounding streets all at once. Your chauffeur parks where the car can pull in quickly, so your group is heading back across the causeway to Surfside while the sidewalks are still crowded.
A chauffeur typically drives south from Surfside and crosses Biscayne Bay on a causeway into Downtown Miami.
Surfside is on the barrier island north of Miami Beach, so every route downtown has to cross to the mainland. The usual choice is to head south through Miami Beach to the MacArthur Causeway, which lands right beside the arena district. The other option is the Julia Tuttle Causeway, which reaches the mainland farther north near Midtown and Wynwood. On a quiet evening the drive typically takes under an hour. On a Saturday game night, permit extra time for event traffic and for weekend crowds heading to South Beach and Brickell. Some nights the northern route over the Broad Causeway and down Biscayne Boulevard moves better, and your driver checks live traffic before choosing. You don’t have to manage any of it: you unwind in the back seat while the chauffeur handles lanes, merges and the final approach downtown.
Neither is always better. The right causeway depends on traffic when you leave Surfside. The MacArthur lands closest to the arena but also carries South Beach traffic, and the Julia Tuttle can be smoother on a busy Saturday. Your chauffeur checks conditions before you leave and again on the way, then takes whichever route is moving.
Leave Surfside with plenty of time before the 8:00 PM tip-off, and plan dinner before that.
Security lines, the walk to your seats and a stop for food or a drink inside all take time, and a Saturday evening downtown adds its own traffic. Most groups have the top night when they start the booking in the late afternoon, eat in or near Surfside and head for the causeway with time to spare. That way you’re in your seats for warm-ups instead of rushing in during the anthem. Preseason nights are a good time to watch the pre-game routines, since the mood inside is looser than at a regular-season showdown. Once your chauffeur knows where you’re eating, they suggest a departure time and let the table know when it’s time to go. Arriving early also gives you time to locate your section and take photos before the arena fills up.
Surfside and neighboring Bal Harbour make pre-game dinner easy. The Surf Club on Collins Avenue, home to Le Sirenuse, suits a polished group dinner. Next door, Bal Harbour Shops has well-known restaurants like Makoto and Carpaccio. For something casual, try the cafés along Harding Avenue. Your driver waits outside, so nobody has to watch the clock at the table.
Yes. The hourly booking lets you add stops wherever you like. Groups often stop in Wynwood to see the murals and have a drink before heading downtown, or save Brickell for a late bite after the game. Bayside Marketplace is right beside the arena if you want a quick walk on the waterfront. The same driver takes you between stops, so you never have to think about parking.
Yes. An October preseason game is one of the easiest Heat nights to enjoy with a group.
This exhibition game gives fans an early look at both rosters before the games count. The crowd looks like Miami: Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian and Puerto Rican families sit alongside fans of every background, next to longtime season-ticket holders, friends in their twenties and thirties making a night of it, and visitors who planned a journey around Heat basketball. Preseason nights commonly feel a bit more relaxed than a regular-season game, which makes them a favorite for parents taking kids to their first NBA game. Heat games are also a place to be seen, so outfits get as much attention as the warm-ups. A private car fits that mood: your group steps out together, dressed for the night, instead of splitting up across the parking decks.
Yes, it’s a strong choice for families because preseason nights usually feel lighter and more relaxed. Kids can enjoy the arena atmosphere without the tension of a playoff race, and the private car keeps everyone together from Surfside to downtown.
Our four private vehicle types fit everyone from a couple to a large group of friends heading downtown.
Headcount is the simplest way to select, but comfort matters on a long evening too. If your group is right at the limit of one vehicle, the next size up gives everyone more room for jackets and signs. Keeping the whole party in one vehicle also keeps the night together. Tell us your final headcount when you book and we’ll match the vehicle.
Yes. You can book a private chauffeur by the hour from Surfside for this game.
Our service is completely private: your own SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, reserved only for your group, with no strangers aboard and no fixed departure schedule. That matters on game night, when plans change by the minute. A friend runs late, dinner goes long, or someone wants a photo on the waterfront before heading in. A private car adjusts to those changes instead of leaving without you. Families with kids, birthday groups and coworkers can all move at their own pace. Tell us your group size, your pickup spot in Surfside and your plan for the evening. We’ll check availability for October 10 and confirm the details on WhatsApp. The questions below cover what riders most often ask before they book.
Yes. This is a local, on-call service that stays around the city. 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. The hourly service stays close to home, so it doesn’t go to far destinations like Naples, Orlando or West Palm Beach.
Once you’re within the final 24 hours, your date and time are locked in and held just for you, because a driver and vehicle are already set aside for your group. 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.
Yes. A private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter keeps a larger group together all night, and it’s never shared with other riders. It works well for birthday groups, extended families and friends who want to arrive together and ride home together. Choose the smaller or larger Sprinter using the seat counts listed above, and the van is reserved for you alone.
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.

Send us a WhatsApp message to check availability and confirm your October 10 booking.
Feature your group size, your pickup address in Surfside, a rough start time and any stops you have in mind, such as dinner near Bal Harbour, a stop in Wynwood or drinks in Brickell after the game. We’ll reply with the right vehicle for your group, the hours that fit your plan and the payment details, so the whole evening is settled well before tip-off. Booking ahead gives you the widest choice of vehicles for the night. Once you confirm, your chauffeur’s details arrive on WhatsApp, and you can message the person driving you directly. After that, you just pick your jersey and decide who gets the window seat. If your plans are still taking shape, send what you know and we’ll assist plan the evening around the 8:00 PM tip-off.
