Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Surfside to Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks at Kaseya Center on Saturday, December 12, 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 rate is locked at booking with no surge, and one dedicated chauffeur keeps the same car ready for the ride home.
Game-night rates from Surfside are set per vehicle and per hour, never per person.
Every booking covers at least five hours. That is enough time for a Surfside pickup, a relaxed pre-game dinner, all four quarters, and the ride back up the coast. Each rate covers the whole vehicle, so a family of four in the Black SUV XL or a group of friends in a Sprinter splits one fixed hourly figure however they like. The Platinum SUV suits a birthday, a client night, or anyone who wants a more polished arrival downtown. Pick the tier by headcount, and the rest of the evening runs on your schedule.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all built into the hourly rate for your vehicle.
Any tolls on the route between Surfside and downtown, and the cost of parking the vehicle between stops, never appear as separate lines on your bill. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, which helps when you need to pull up digital tickets or check the lineup on the way in. If anyone needs a quick restroom, snack, or stretch stop before the arena, just ask the driver. One brief comfort stop doesn’t change the flat rate.
The only other charge that may apply is the night surcharge for trips outside daytime hours. It is laid out in full further down this page, so the game-night total holds no surprises.
Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks tips off Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
The game is at Kaseya Center, the bayfront arena in Downtown Miami, and it carries extra weight. The defending champion Knicks make their only Miami visit of the season, reviving a rivalry built in hard-fought playoff series and renewed in recent postseasons. Anticipate a crowd that mirrors Miami itself: Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Puerto Rican families, a deep base of Black fans, international visitors, and a loud pocket of New Yorkers in blue and orange. A Saturday-night game against a marquee opponent becomes a whole evening out, and many groups plan dinner, the game, and a late drink around it. Booking the car by the hour fits that rhythm. Nobody in your Surfside group has to be the designated driver, circle a downtown garage, or check a phone for a ride at midnight.
Yes. The same car can take your group to Bayside Marketplace for a pre-game walk along the bay, then on to Brickell or Wynwood for drinks after the final buzzer. The chauffeur drives between each spot and waits while you’re inside, so the night keeps moving and nobody has to look for parking. Your driver can also suggest a post-game stop that suits the group’s mood.
Your chauffeur drives south from Surfside and crosses Biscayne Bay into Downtown Miami.
The usual route runs down Collins Avenue through Miami Beach, then west over the Julia Tuttle Causeway or the MacArthur Causeway. The MacArthur comes off the bay almost at the arena’s doorstep. When the beach side is crawling, the driver can instead take the Broad Causeway west from Bay Harbor Islands and follow Biscayne Boulevard south, which is steadier on some Saturday nights. Downtown traffic builds well before an 8:00 PM tip-off, with fans heading to the arena, Bayside Marketplace, and the Brickell bars at the same time. A chauffeur who reads those approaches in real time makes a noticeable difference. Nobody in the group has to watch a map, hunt for a garage, or split up across several cars. Everyone rides together and arrives together.
Plan to leave Surfside with a generous cushion before the 8:00 PM tip-off, and earlier still if dinner is part of the night. The drive typically runs longer on an event Saturday. Arriving early leaves time to get through the doors, find your seats, and catch warmups. Share your ideal arrival time and the chauffeur will plan the departure around it.
The chauffeur pulls in as close to the arena as event-night access allows, usually on the Biscayne Boulevard side or at whichever drop-off point is open that evening. Your group steps out together a short walk from the entrance. The driver shares that exact spot on WhatsApp so everyone knows where to regroup later.
Yes, waiting is the whole point of booking by the hour. While you watch the game, the chauffeur stays nearby with the vehicle and can be reached on WhatsApp the entire time. If someone needs to leave at halftime or wants a jacket from the car, one message brings the driver back to the drop-off point.
Message the chauffeur on WhatsApp as the fourth quarter winds down, and the car will pull up at the agreed pickup point, as close to the arena as post-game traffic allows. Instead of waiting in line at a garage, your group walks out, gets in, and heads back to Surfside or on to a late dinner in Brickell.
The driver picks up at any address in Surfside you choose at booking.
That might be the lobby of The Surf Club or the Grand Beach Hotel Surfside, a condo on Collins Avenue, a family home on the quieter residential streets west of Harding Avenue, or a vacation home near the beach. You confirm the exact spot when you book over WhatsApp. The chauffeur messages when the vehicle is outside, so nobody has to wait on the sidewalk watching Collins Avenue traffic. Hotel guests can wait in the lobby until the message arrives, and residents can stay inside until the car is at the door. Surfside’s small, walkable grid makes pickups quick. Its position near the north end of the barrier island also gives the driver a choice of routes south or west once everyone is aboard. It is a calm way to start a loud night.
Yes. The stops are yours to set, so the chauffeur can collect one couple at a Collins Avenue condo, a second party at a hotel, and friends staying in Bal Harbour or Bay Harbor Islands before heading downtown. List every pickup when you book so the order makes sense and nobody is left waiting.
Surfside and neighboring Bal Harbour have some of Miami’s most polished pre-game dinner tables.
Harding Avenue, Surfside’s small downtown strip, is lined with casual cafes and neighborhood restaurants where a family can eat early before the drive. For something more celebratory, the dining rooms at The Surf Club set an elegant tone. Just to the north, Bal Harbour Shops is home to longtime favorites such as Makoto and Carpaccio. The chauffeur waits outside while you eat, then loads the group and heads south, so nobody watches the clock over dessert. Some groups would rather eat downtown, near Bayside Marketplace on the bay or in Brickell, and the same driver takes them from the table to the game. Book the table yourself and share the time, and the chauffeur will build the evening’s schedule around it.
You book a block of hours, and the car and chauffeur are yours throughout.
Start by choosing the vehicle that fits your headcount. Then send the group size, a rough start time, and the stops on your wish list over WhatsApp. Pickup can be at any Miami address: a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal on a cruise-day arrival (heading straight to the game), Miami International Airport, or a private home. The exact spot is agreed when you book. From there the same chauffeur stays with the group for the entire block and follows your schedule. Once the 5-hour block is up, every extra hour is simply added at the same per-hour rate for your vehicle, with no new fare to negotiate, and those extra hours are settled after the day. If overtime or a post-game dinner stretches the night, keep the car as long as you require.
Nobody has to leave before the final horn. If overtime or a tight finish runs the night past your booked hours, the chauffeur stays with the car and the extra time is added to the booking as described above, then settled once the night wraps up. Watch every possession, then walk out to a car that never left.
Payment is simple and handled over WhatsApp.
Four private tiers cover everything from a couple to a full group of friends.
There is room aboard for what fans usually carry, like jerseys, signs, and a foam finger or two, but tell us in advance if you’re bringing something big. If your headcount sits right on the line between two tiers, size up so nobody rides squeezed after a long night on their feet.
A private chauffeur makes game night a premium service from door to door.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so the cabin is yours for pre-game playlists, halftime debates, and the ride home, whatever the score. Your flat hourly rate is locked the moment you book, with no surge when the arena empties and the whole crowd reaches for a ride at once. The chauffeur is bilingual and stays with you for the whole block, through dinner, the game, and every stop after, so the group can talk easily in English or Spanish. You message that driver directly on WhatsApp, and the reply comes from the person holding the keys. The result is a better experience all night: fewer moving parts, one familiar face, and a car that is ready the moment you are.
Daytime service runs from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. 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.
The SUV surcharge is one flat addition per trip, while the Sprinter surcharge scales with the value of the trip, so a larger group spreads it across more riders. Both are listed here in full, so the total cost of the evening, from a Surfside dinner to a late stop in Brickell, is clear before you confirm. Nothing else about the service changes after dark: same car, same chauffeur, same plan.
Yes. You get a private SUV or a private van with your own chauffeur, booked by the hour.
Every ride on this page carries only your group, with no strangers, no extra pickups you didn’t ask for, and no fixed departure times. Fans looking for a ride to the Heat game from Surfside usually want three things: to arrive together, to skip the garage lines, and to get home without a long wait after the buzzer. An hourly booking covers all three with one vehicle. It also works for mixed groups. A couple staying at a Surfside hotel, their friends in a Collins Avenue condo, and a cousin flying in that afternoon can all ride in the same car. The questions below cover the details Surfside riders ask about most often, from group size to pets to last-minute plans.
Our private van is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and it comes in two sizes: a mid-size model for a medium group and a larger one for the biggest parties we carry. The exact headcounts are in the rate list above. Send your headcount on WhatsApp and we’ll match you with the right Sprinter, or the Black SUV XL for a smaller group.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
The service stays local. It covers Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, the area around Miami International Airport, and nearby communities up toward Fort Lauderdale. That keeps your chauffeur on call and unhurried around the city, so far-off destinations like Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach sit outside this hourly service.
Your slot is locked in and held just for you. For a service within the next 24 hours, a driver and vehicle are already set aside, so the date and time run as agreed. On such short notice, a change or refund can’t be guaranteed. The flexible part stays: you can always add more hours on the day.
Yes. The same hourly service works for any night at the downtown arena, whether it’s another Heat home game such as the Pelicans or Timberwolves visits, the Red, White & Pink Game, or a concert. Send the date, your headcount, and your Surfside pickup on WhatsApp, and we’ll check availability for your group.
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. Send your details on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm your booking for game night.
Feature the size of your group, a rough start time, your Surfside pickup address, and the stops on your wish list, such as dinner on Harding Avenue, the arena, and a late drink in Brickell. We’ll match the vehicle to your headcount, plan the timing around the 8:00 PM tip-off, and send payment details so the evening is locked in. From there the night belongs to your group, with one car, one chauffeur, and a plan built around the rivalry game of the season. Questions about pickup points or a pet all go through the same WhatsApp thread, answered by people who know Surfside and the downtown arena well. You can also reach us by email if that suits your planning better.

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.

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 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.
Traveling with larger or additional items — extra suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Contact us in advance so we can arrange the necessary space. An additional fee may apply.

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.
Note: any refund claim — including a driver no-show or another service issue — must reach us within 30 days of your scheduled pickup. Requests made more than a month after the ride date are no longer eligible for review or refund.
