Our private hourly chauffeur takes your group from Miami to Miami City Ballet at Adrienne Arsht Center on Friday, October 16, 2026, in a Black SUV XL with a bilingual driver, booked for a 5-hour minimum at a flat rate from $100 per hour. The 7:30 PM curtain opens the company’s new season, and your rate is locked at booking with no surge, from the first pickup to the ride home.
Your hourly rate depends only on the vehicle you select, and every booking starts with five hours.
Five hours fits a ballet evening well. It covers a pickup in time for a relaxed dinner, the ride downtown before the 7:30 PM curtain, the full program, and the trip home afterward. The rate is charged per vehicle, not per guest. A couple in the Platinum SUV and a group of friends sharing a Sprinter both know their exact hourly price before anyone gets dressed. The night surcharge and everything included in the rate are listed further down this page, so you can see the full cost before you send a single message.
Trips between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Outside those daytime hours, the following applies by 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. Whether the surcharge applies depends on when your booked trip runs, and we tell you clearly on WhatsApp before you pay. For an SUV party, it is one charge for the trip, not an hourly extra. For a Sprinter group, it is a percentage of the trip value, so it grows with the hours you reserve. Nothing else changes after dark. You keep the same chauffeur, the same vehicle, and the same included extras, whether the evening ends after the performance or continues to a late dessert across town.
Four private tiers cover every party size, starting with the Black SUV XL.
For a dress-up arts evening, couples often select the Platinum SUV. A birthday party or a group of season subscribers commonly prefers a Sprinter so nobody has to journey separately. Every tier arrives clean and ready at the agreed pickup time, with the same chauffeur standard and the same included extras.
Yes. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter keeps a bigger party in one vehicle from the first pickup to the ride home, so nobody has to find a second car or wait for a latecomer. Send your final headcount on WhatsApp and we’ll match you with the Sprinter that seats everyone comfortably.
You pay the full fare when you book.
You reserve one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours.
Start by choosing the tier that fits your party. The driver can pick you up at any Miami address, and the exact pickup spot is agreed when you book. That could be your hotel, a home in Key Biscayne, Miami International Airport, or a PortMiami cruise terminal, so a cruise-day arrival can go straight to the ballet. Your booking covers a five-hour block, and the chauffeur stays with your group the whole time. You select the stops and their order: dinner first, a quick change at the hotel, or a slow drive along the waterfront before the curtain. If the night runs long, just keep the car. After the first five hours, each extra hour is added at your vehicle’s same per-hour rate, with no new fare to negotiate. You settle those extra hours after the day, not on the spot.
A booking for the next 24 hours is locked in and held just for you, because a driver and vehicle are already set aside. At that short notice we can’t guarantee a date change or a refund, so the evening goes ahead exactly as agreed. You can always add hours on the night at the same hourly rate.
Fuel, tolls, and parking are built into the hourly rate.
You won’t pay a downtown garage fee, and no meter runs while you watch the performance. Onboard WiFi comes from a mobile hotspot, which is handy for pulling up digital tickets or sending a photo to friends who couldn’t come. Adding a stop, dropping one, or changing their order never reopens the fare. Only the clock moves. A few charges can be added on top of the hourly rate, and you’ll know about each one before you book. The night surcharge described above applies when a trip falls outside daytime hours. Any hours you add past your original block are billed at your vehicle’s regular rate. They are never free.
A private chauffeur turns ballet night into one smooth, well-planned evening.
Your vehicle is reserved for your group alone, and one bilingual chauffeur covers the whole block. There’s no second driver to brief and no car to collect when the night is over. The flat hourly rate is locked the moment you book, with no surge on a hectic opening weekend and no change for traffic or weather. Your plans stay flexible: linger over dessert, add a stop, or keep the car for a nightcap. Questions go straight to us on WhatsApp before and during the booking, and the reply comes from the people running your evening, not a call center. Above all, this is a premium service built around an occasion. Guests step out relaxed and dressed for the performance instead of flustered from a parking garage, and they head home just as relaxed. It’s a better experience from the first pickup to the last goodbye.
Miami City Ballet opens its season on October 16, 2026, with American Rhythms.
The program is part of the company’s Fall Mixed Repertory. It is also the first season under new Artistic Director Gonzalo Garcia, which gives opening night extra attention across Miami’s arts community. The program begins with George Balanchine’s sparkling Allegro Brillante, continues with a world premiere by former principal dancer Patricia Delgado, and closes with the company’s first staging of Jerome Robbins’ jazz-inspired N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz. Performances take place in the Ziff Ballet Opera House, the main hall of the Adrienne Arsht Center, where the company is in residence. The curtain rises at 7:30 PM. The audience is mostly longtime subscribers, arts patrons, and couples celebrating a unique night, so the mood is dressy and festive, and many guests have dinner before the show. A private car fits that kind of evening: you reach relaxed and leave without worrying about where you parked.
It brings several firsts into one program: a new artistic director’s opening season, a world premiere, and a Robbins work the company has never danced before. Planning a full evening around it, with dinner beforehand, the performance, and perhaps a nightcap, makes the night feel as special as the program, and your chauffeur handles every leg of the evening.
Plan the evening backward from the 7:30 PM curtain so you have time to find your seats, read the program, and settle in without rushing. Dressy clothes suit the occasion, though comfortable shoes help if dinner involves a walk. Keep your tickets ready on your phone, and tell your chauffeur about any after-show plans before you go inside.
Your chauffeur drives you door to door, so you never have to locate a garage downtown.
The performing arts center is on the edge of downtown Miami near the bay. Evening curtains bring a steady wave of arrivals, drop-offs, and garage traffic into the nearby streets, and a dedicated car takes all of that off your hands. You leave your pickup spot with plenty of time to spare, step out close to the entrance, and walk straight into the lobby while someone else deals with the traffic. You have no parking ticket to keep and no garage line waiting when the final ballet ends. Afterward, the car meets you at your agreed pickup point, ready to drive the group home or to a late dinner. Because you book by the hour, a long curtain call or a lingering conversation in the lobby is never a problem.
Leave early enough to reach your seats without rushing. The right departure time depends on where you start and on evening traffic. Many guests solve this by booking dinner nearby first, so they are already close before the 7:30 PM curtain. When you confirm, we suggest a pickup time for your neighborhood.
Your driver gets the group as close to the venue as access allows that night, usually at the drop-off point nearest the Ziff Ballet Opera House entrance. Traffic arrangements around a busy downtown performance can change, so the chauffeur picks the easiest approach on the night and agrees a clear meeting spot with you for afterward.
Yes, waiting is part of an hourly booking. The chauffeur stays nearby with the vehicle for the whole performance, and that time counts toward the hours you reserved rather than as a separate fee. When you’re ready, a quick WhatsApp message brings the car around, even if you stay a while to toast the dancers first.
Yes. Dinner, the performance, and the ride home all fit into one booking.
Many ballet nights start with dinner. Couples often favor a quieter table in Coconut Grove or along Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. Groups tend to select the polished restaurants of the Design District or the busier dining scene in Brickell. Your chauffeur drops you at the door, waits while you eat, and takes you on to the performance with time to spare, so no one watches the clock between courses or looks for a valet stand. If you’d rather eat after the show, Edgewater and Midtown are close to the performing arts center and good for a late supper. We don’t book tables, but your driver is happy to suggest an order of stops that keeps the evening relaxed. Share your dinner plans when you book, and we’ll set the pickup time around your reservation.
Wynwood’s lively bars, a waterfront table near Bayside Marketplace, or a nightcap across the causeway in South Beach all make a good last stop after the ballet. Your chauffeur handles every leg, so everyone can raise a glass to the performance and still get home without anyone driving or looking for a late ride.
Our hourly chauffeurs work across the local Miami area.
That includes Miami, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Wynwood, Little Havana, and the neighborhoods around Miami International Airport, plus nearby communities up toward Fort Lauderdale. For a ballet evening, that covers almost any pickup a guest might need: a condo on the beach, a family home in Doral, a hotel near the airport, or a friend’s place in the Gables. We keep this service local on purpose. A chauffeur who stays around the city can wait calmly through dinner and the performance, respond rapidly when plans change, and get everyone home without a long drive at the end of the night. That’s why the hourly service doesn’t go out to farther destinations such as Naples, Orlando, or West Palm Beach. If your group is coming from out of town, meet at a Miami hotel or home and start the evening from there.
Yes. A private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter works as your group’s own ride to the ballet.
A private Sprinter keeps a whole party together, which is commonly what a group going to a show needs. It is never shared with other riders: there are no fixed departure times, no detours for other theatergoers, and no seats sold to strangers. Your group sets the schedule, rides together from the first pickup, arrives together, and goes home together in the same vehicle. If friends are coming from distinct neighborhoods, the chauffeur can pick them up one by one on the way downtown and drop each of them at home afterward. It works well for birthday celebrations, visiting relatives, a group of fellow subscribers, or colleagues treating a client to the opening program. For couples or smaller parties who desire the same private setup in a smaller vehicle, the Black SUV XL and the Platinum SUV offer it without the extra seats.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
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 with your group size and evening plans.
Include a rough start time and the stops you desire: a hotel or home pickup, a dinner reservation, the performance, and any late stop before heading home. We reply with the vehicle that fits your party, confirm the pickup spot and timing, and send the payment link that reserves your date. After that, the only thing left to plan is what to wear. Opening night of a new era at Miami City Ballet deserves an arrival as polished as the program and an equally easy ride home. Check availability now, reserve the vehicle for your group, and savor the evening at your own pace: dinner, curtain, applause, and a quiet ride home.

If no offer is sent, the driver may leave once your free waiting time is over.

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.
