Hire a chauffeur by the hour and see Miami at your own pace: this hub gathers every private city-tour itinerary we run, each billed at $90 an hour with a five-hour minimum. The clock starts at your pickup point — a Brickell hotel, a house in Coconut Grove, or the curb at MIA — and the car stays with you between stops, so photo breaks, long lunches, and spontaneous detours never need a second booking. Fourteen starting points are listed below; each one is the same driver-and-vehicle package, only the meeting spot changes.
Most parties book the minimum five hours and find it covers a relaxed circuit with three or four unhurried stops. The itinerary is yours to set: the driver follows your list, suggests a smarter order when asked, and waits at every stop. Past hour five, the meter simply keeps running.
Either works. Send your list of sights when you confirm and the driver sequences it to dodge the day’s worst traffic windows, or hand over a finished plan and he follows it to the letter. For fresh ideas, the Greater Miami visitors bureau keeps seasonal lists worth skimming before you build yours.
High-season dates go quickly, so lock yours in early: message +1 (305) 497-0440 with the date, start time, and group size. A half deposit — Zelle or a card link — holds the reservation, and the remaining balance is settled in cash with your chauffeur once the tour wraps. Planning around a festival weekend? The City of Miami Beach posts street-closure notices ahead of big events, and drivers reroute around them as they appear.
Parties of five or fewer tour in a black SUV; six to nine travelers step up to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and a longer-bodied Sprinter carries ten to fourteen. Sightseeing rarely involves much baggage, but if you are pairing the tour with a hotel change, allow one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger and flag anything oversized in advance.
