Private hourly chauffeur service from Surfside to Miami Marlins vs. New York Mets at loanDepot park on Thursday, March 25, 2027 comes with a Black SUV XL and a bilingual driver at a flat rate from $100 per hour, on a 5-hour minimum. The same car collects your group anywhere in Surfside, stays with you through Opening Day, and brings everyone home with no surge fare.
Every booking runs at least five hours, and the hourly rate depends only on the vehicle your group needs:
Rates are charged per vehicle, not per passenger. A group that fills its car splits one hourly figure, no matter how many fans are aboard. Your total is the hours you keep the car multiplied by the rate for your tier, so budgeting for a ballgame is easy: decide roughly when you want to leave Surfside and when you expect to be home, and the math is done. Choose the tier by headcount first and comfort second. The vehicle guide further down explains which cabin suits which kind of group. Everything runs on the clock rather than by the leg, so a detour for lunch or a second pickup never triggers a separate charge.
Marlins vs. Mets on March 25, 2027 is Miami’s home opener and its biggest ballpark day.
MLB’s 2027 schedule opens the season with the Miami Marlins hosting the New York Mets, the earliest Opening Day the league has ever put on the calendar. It is a National League East rivalry game, and recent meetings between these clubs have delivered tight, low-scoring contests and late-inning finishes, the kind of game nobody wants to leave early. The ballpark in Little Havana fills far beyond an ordinary game, so the roads, parking lots, and pickup curbs around it get busy well before first pitch. A car booked by the hour takes all of that off your plate. The group rides together from Surfside, arrives relaxed, and has a ride ready whenever the game ends. Ticket information lives on the Marlins’ official page for loanDepot park, and we handle everything on the road.
Opening Day falls on Thursday, March 25, 2027, with the Marlins at home against the Mets. The league has not announced the first-pitch time yet. Reserve the date now with your group size and stops, then set the exact Surfside pickup once the start time is published and the day’s plan comes into focus.
Mets fans turn out in Miami because New York’s fan base runs deep across South Florida. Transplanted New Yorkers, winter residents wrapping up the season, and fans flying down for the opener all make the trip. The stands mix both teams’ colors, and the atmosphere feels closer to a rivalry showdown than a routine game.
Your chauffeur crosses Biscayne Bay westbound, then heads south on I-95 toward Little Havana.
One common run from Surfside takes the Broad Causeway through Bay Harbor Islands to the mainland, then joins I-95 southbound toward downtown. Depending on traffic that afternoon, the driver may instead go south on Collins Avenue and cross the Julia Tuttle Causeway, which meets I-95 closer to the city. Either way, the final leg typically follows the Dolphin Expressway west before the car turns into the residential blocks around the ballpark. Expect a true cross-town drive rather than a quick hop, and on Opening Day allow a generous cushion. Weekday traffic on I-95 and the causeways thickens through the afternoon, and a full crowd converges on the same few streets. The chauffeur reads live traffic and picks the route for you, so the group can settle in, talk lineups, and let someone else worry about lane changes and exits.
Yes. Larger groups ride together in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter reserved for them alone, and no seats are sold to anyone outside your party. Everyone boards at one Surfside address and crosses the bay as a single group. The same private van and chauffeur stay booked for you until the last guest is back home.
Pickup happens at any address in Surfside you choose when you book.
Many game-day groups meet the chauffeur at the entrance of their hotel along Collins Avenue. The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is a natural starting point, and so is the lobby driveway of an oceanfront condo tower. Families renting in the quiet residential streets west of Harding Avenue get collected right at the front door. Anyone finishing lunch in the Harding Avenue business district can be picked up at the restaurant curb, and guests in vacation rentals along Collins can step straight out to the car. You and the chauffeur settle the exact meeting spot over WhatsApp before game day, so nobody wanders a busy lobby looking for the car. Surfside’s compact size helps here: the pickup is quick, and the group is heading for the causeway moments after the doors close.
Yes. You set the stops, so the chauffeur can collect one friend at a Collins Avenue condo, another at a home off Harding Avenue, and a third just north in Bal Harbour before heading west. List every pickup when you book, and we plan the start time so each stop fits comfortably before first pitch.
Harding Avenue and neighboring Bal Harbour Shops cover every pre-game appetite near your pickup.
Harding Avenue is Surfside’s small-town main street, lined with casual cafes and bakeries. Josh’s Deli is a local favorite for a hearty sandwich before a long day of baseball. For something more polished, The Surf Club Restaurant inside the Four Seasons turns a pre-game lunch into an occasion worth dressing for, jerseys optional. Just across the town line, Bal Harbour Shops has upscale dining rooms and shaded terraces, a good fit for a group that wants to toast Opening Day before the drive. The car is booked by the hour, so your chauffeur waits nearby while you eat and pulls up as soon as the check is settled. There is no parking to hunt down and no reason to rush dessert. These are ideas for how to spend your own hours. We provide the car and driver, so reserve tables directly with the restaurant of your choice.
Yes. A dinner stop fits on either side of the game and simply uses time from your booked hours. After the final out, Little Havana’s Eighth Street strip is close to the ballpark, and Versailles Restaurant is a well-known stop for Cuban classics. Brickell offers later dining on the way back toward the bay and Surfside.
Plan to leave Surfside well ahead of first pitch, because Opening Day traffic builds early.
Once the first-pitch time is published, work backward from it with a generous buffer. Opening Day brings pregame introductions and ceremonies that fans rarely want to miss, and the streets around the ballpark fill up long before an ordinary game. Add more cushion if you plan a Surfside lunch or extra pickups first. Arriving early costs nothing beyond time already inside your booked block, and the approach becomes part of the fun: you have time to find seats, grab food inside, and watch the crowd fill in. Your chauffeur tracks traffic on the day and may suggest leaving earlier if the causeways or I-95 look heavy, so the group walks in relaxed instead of sprinting from the curb. On the way home, the same car handles the late rush while everyone replays the best innings.
Your chauffeur drops the group as close to the venue as access allows, usually at the drop-off point nearest the entrance you plan to use. Game-day traffic control shapes that final approach, so the driver picks the spot that keeps your walk short. Then the driver tells you over WhatsApp exactly where the car will be parked and waiting.
Yes. Your chauffeur stays near the ballpark for the whole game, so extra innings never strand the group or leave you searching for a way home. The car is reserved for your block of hours, not a single trip. If the final out comes after the time you booked, you simply keep the car a little longer.
You meet your chauffeur at the pickup spot you agreed on at drop-off, confirmed with a quick WhatsApp message as the last inning starts. You can leave a few minutes early to beat the crowd or wait while the rush clears. Either way the car is already yours, and the driver meets you as soon as you walk out.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours.
Start by choosing the tier that fits your headcount and a start time. The first five hours form the base of every booking, and the clock runs from pickup through the game to the last drop-off. Pickup can be any Miami address — a hotel, a PortMiami cruise terminal (a cruise-day arrival can go straight to the game), Miami International Airport, or a home — and the exact spot is agreed at booking. From there the plan is yours: set the stops or add one on the fly, and the same driver stays with the group throughout. If the day runs longer than those first five hours, nothing is renegotiated. Every additional hour is simply added at the same flat per-hour rate and settled after the day wraps up, so an extra-inning game or a late dinner never forces a decision at the curb. Keep the car as long as you require.
A private chauffeur turns game day into a better experience from doorstep to doorstep.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so the cabin stays quiet, clean, and exactly as you left it between stops. One dedicated chauffeur handles the whole block, and because the driver is bilingual, conversation is easy for every guest in the car. Your flat hourly rate is locked when you book, with no surge on a packed Opening Day and no change for traffic or weather. You reach the driver directly on WhatsApp all day instead of waiting on hold with a dispatcher. Nobody in the party has to skip a celebratory beer to drive or fight for a space in a crowded stadium lot, because the driver waits through the game and is ready when you are. That is upscale service in practical terms: fewer decisions, less waiting, and a smoother day for everyone, from the first pickup in Surfside to the final goodnight at the door.
Daytime service from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM carries no surcharge. Trips outside that window add a surcharge set by vehicle type:
The Opening Day start time is still unannounced, so whether the surcharge touches your booking depends on the schedule the league sets. With an afternoon first pitch and everyone back in Surfside before the 6:00 PM cutoff, the whole day stays inside daytime hours. 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. Once the start time is out, plan your pickup and return with that window in mind, and the chauffeur can help you shape the evening so nothing on the final bill comes as a surprise.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are all included in the hourly rate.
That covers the causeway tolls on the way out of Surfside, the expressway miles into Little Havana, and parking fees wherever the car sits during your booking. Fuel matters on a day like this, since the car may sit in causeway traffic or loop back for a forgotten cap without anyone watching a meter. The rate also covers the vehicle and the chauffeur for your entire block, including time between stops. There is room in the car for what fans actually bring, from jerseys and signs to a small cooler for the ride, so just tell us in advance if you’re bringing something large. Beyond the rate, plan for two possible extras: the night surcharge on trips outside daytime hours and any hours you add past your booked block.
Four private vehicle tiers cover everything from a couple to a large group.
The Platinum SUV reference cars are examples of the vehicle class, not a promise of one specific model. If your headcount sits right at the edge of a tier, consider moving up one size, because a little extra room makes the ride home more comfortable after a long day in the stands. Every tier comes with the same chauffeur arrangement described above. The only real decisions are how many people are riding and how polished you want the cabin to feel.
Yes. Here is how payment works:
Yes. A private hourly chauffeur carries your group from Surfside to the game and home again.
People search for this ride in many ways: a car service to the Marlins game, a private van for a group, a luxury SUV for clients, even a limo for Opening Day. All of them lead to the same answer here, which is a chauffeured Black SUV XL, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, or Platinum SUV reserved for your party alone and hired by the hour. Nobody else boards, the route follows your plan, and the vehicle stays on your booking the whole time. The luxury SUV covers what most people want from a limo, with a cabin that fits the occasion and a chauffeur who knows the drive from the beaches to Little Havana. The questions below cover the practical details fans ask most often before they reserve, from how many hours to book to what happens when plans change at the last minute.
Five hours usually covers the core day: the drive west, a pregame buffer, nine innings, and the ride home to Surfside. Add time if you plan a lunch on Harding Avenue or a post-game dinner in Little Havana. The day can also stretch on the spot if the game does.
The hourly service stays close to home as an on-call, unhurried service around the city. That covers Surfside and 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. It doesn’t run to far destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Share the details over WhatsApp when you reserve so the right vehicle is ready, and remember that the ballpark sets its own rules for anything beyond the car.
A booking inside the final 24 hours is locked in and held just for you, with a driver and vehicle already set aside. On that short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, so the ride goes ahead as agreed. You can still add more hours on the day at the same 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.

You can reserve your Surfside game-day chauffeur on WhatsApp in a few quick messages.
Send your group size, a rough start time, and the stops on your wish list, whether that means a Collins Avenue hotel pickup, lunch on Harding Avenue first, or a late meal in Little Havana after the final out. We match the right vehicle to your headcount, agree on the pickup spot, and hold the date as soon as your payment arrives. Booking early leaves the most room to adjust the plan once first pitch is announced, from adding a friend’s address to making the evening longer. You can ask about the route, the timing, or the right vehicle in the same chat, and every rate you require is already listed on this page. On March 25, your chauffeur will be waiting in Surfside, and all your group has to think about is the first pitch of the season.
