Self-Drive vs Chauffeur: The Miami Luxury Car Rental Showdown
All Articles

It’s 7:42 on a Tuesday morning in Brickell. The sun’s already hitting the bay hard, turning the skyline into something that looks like a movie set. You’re standing outside the Brickell Hotel, keys in hand, and a matte-black Rolls-Royce Ghost is waiting at the curb.

Now here’s the question: do you slide behind the wheel yourself, or do you let someone else handle it while you sip espresso and watch the city roll by?

This isn’t a trivial decision. In Miami — where the car you arrive in says everything about who you are — choosing between self-drive and chauffeur service changes the entire texture of your trip. It’s not just about transportation. It’s about how you want to feel moving through one of the most electric cities in America.

I’ve spent years covering Miami’s luxury scene, and I’ve experienced both sides of this equation more times than I can count. I’ve driven a Ferrari Portofino down Ocean Drive at midnight with the top down and the city pulsing around me. I’ve also been driven through South Beach in the back of a Bentley Mulsanne while my concierge handled every detail.

They’re two completely different experiences. And honestly? Both are worth it — but for completely different people, different occasions, and different versions of what you want Miami to feel like.

So let’s break it down. No fluff. No marketing spin. Just the real differences between self-drive and chauffeur-driven luxury car rental in Miami — and exactly which one will make your trip unforgettable.

The Miami Factor: Why Your Car Choice Matters More Here Than Anywhere Else

Before we get into the mechanics of self-drive versus chauffeur, let’s talk about why Miami is different.

In most cities, a luxury car is transportation. In Miami, it’s a statement. It’s part of the landscape. The streets of South Beach, the causeways connecting the bay, the neon-soaked stretch of Biscayne Boulevard — they’re all stages, and your car is the lead actor.

I’ve watched people’s faces change when a Lamborghini pulls up to a restaurant in Wynwood. I’ve seen the way a Rolls-Royce commands attention at a client dinner in Coral Gables. In Miami, your vehicle isn’t just how you get around — it’s how you show up.

That’s what makes the self-drive versus chauffeur decision so interesting here. It’s not just about convenience or cost. It’s about the role you want the car to play in your Miami story.

Do you want to be the driver — the one in control, the one the pedestrians point at, the one who feels the engine roar as they merge onto the MacArthur Causeway? Or do you want to be the passenger — gliding through the city in the back seat, arriving at your destination fully composed, letting someone else navigate the energy?

Both are valid. Both are spectacular. But only one of them is right for your specific trip.

Self-Drive Luxury Rental: The Freedom to Feel Miami at Full Throttle

Let’s start with self-drive, because for most people reading this, it’s the more exciting option. And honestly? It’s the one that defines the Miami luxury driving experience.

What You’re Actually Getting

When you rent a luxury car self-drive in Miami, you’re getting the keys. Full stop. The car is yours for the duration — every mile, every moment, every red light where you can feel the engine idle beneath you.

Most luxury rental companies in Miami offer self-drive as their core service. You book the car, you pick it up (or have it delivered — more on that later), and you’re in the driver’s seat. The company handles insurance, maintenance, and roadside assistance. You handle the driving.

The fleet options are staggering. We’re talking:

  • Lamborghini Huracán EVO — 631 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, the sound of Italian engineering screaming down Collins Avenue
  • Ferrari Portofino M — 612 horsepower, retractable hardtop, the car that makes every drive feel like a movie premiere
  • McLaren 720S — 710 horsepower, butterfly doors, a supercar that feels like it was built for Miami’s roads
  • Porsche 911 Turbo S — 640 horsepower, all-wheel drive, the daily driver that happens to be a supercar
  • Bentley Continental GT — 626 horsepower, handcrafted interior, the perfect blend of British elegance and Miami energy
  • Rolls-Royce Ghost — 563 horsepower, silent cabin, the ultimate arrival statement

That’s just scratching the surface. Miami’s luxury rental fleet includes everything from rare McLaren Senna AMs to vintage Aston Martins, depending on what you’re looking for and what’s available.

The Experience: What It Actually Feels Like

Here’s what nobody tells you about self-drive luxury cars in Miami: it’s not about the destination. It’s about every moment in between.

I remember the first time I drove a Lamborghini through Miami. It wasn’t some planned-out exotic car tour. I’d picked up a Huracán for a client dinner at The Surf Club, and I took the long way — down Star Island, around Key Biscayne, back through Brickell. It was 10 PM on a Saturday. The city was alive.

The sound of that V10 echoing off the buildings on Biscayne Boulevard. The way heads turned at every intersection. The feel of the carbon-fiber steering wheel in my hands, the paddle shifters clicking as I downshifted for a red light on Alton Road. That wasn’t just driving. That was being part of Miami’s energy.

That’s the self-drive experience. You’re not just moving through the city — you’re interacting with it. You’re feeling the roads, the weather, the rhythm of Miami traffic (yes, there is rhythm, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes). You’re in control.

When Self-Drive Makes Sense

Self-drive luxury rental is the right choice in these scenarios:

You want the full sensory experience. If you’re the kind of traveler who wants to feel the engine, control the acceleration, and be the one making the entrance — self-drive is non-negotiable. Nothing else comes close to the visceral thrill of driving a supercar through Miami.

You’re a car enthusiast. Let’s be honest: if you’ve been dreaming about driving a Ferrari, you don’t want someone else behind the wheel. You want to feel that 612 horsepower for yourself.

You’re planning a specific driving route. Miami has some of the most scenic driving routes in America. The MacArthur Causeway at sunrise. The curves of Key Biscayne. The coastal stretch from South Beach up to Sunny Isles. Self-drive lets you make those routes your own.

You want content. For influencers, content creators, and anyone shooting a video or photo project in Miami, self-drive gives you the flexibility to get the shots you need. You’re not dependent on a chauffeur’s schedule or direction.

You’re celebrating something. Birthday in Miami? Anniversary? Closing a major deal? There’s nothing quite like celebrating in the driver’s seat of a car you’ve always dreamed about.

The Real Talk: What Self-Drive Costs

Let’s get into the numbers, because this is where a lot of people get surprised.

Self-drive luxury rental prices in Miami vary widely based on the vehicle, the duration, and the season. Here’s a realistic breakdown:

VehicleDaily Rate (Off-Peak)Daily Rate (Peak/Weekend)Weekly Rate
Lamborghini Huracán EVO$800 - $1,200$1,200 - $1,800$5,000 - $8,000
Ferrari Portofino M$900 - $1,400$1,400 - $2,000$6,000 - $9,500
McLaren 720S$1,000 - $1,500$1,500 - $2,200$7,000 - $10,500
Porsche 911 Turbo S$600 - $900$900 - $1,300$4,000 - $6,500
Bentley Continental GT$700 - $1,100$1,100 - $1,600$4,500 - $7,500
Rolls-Royce Ghost$1,200 - $1,800$1,800 - $2,500$8,000 - $12,000

Note: These are realistic market rates for 2024-2025. Peak season (December through March, plus major event weekends like Art Basel, F1, and Super Bowl) can push rates 20-40% higher. Weekly rates typically offer 15-25% savings over daily rates.

On top of the rental rate, you’ll typically pay:

  • Security deposit: $2,000 - $10,000 depending on the vehicle (refundable)
  • Additional driver fee: $50 - $150 per additional driver (if you want someone else to share driving duties)
  • Young driver surcharge: Many companies charge extra for drivers under 25 (typically $100-$200/day)
  • Fuel policy: Most companies operate on a full-to-full basis — you get the car with a full tank, you return it full

Now, let me be clear: these prices might seem high. But when you think about what you’re getting — a $200,000+ vehicle, full insurance coverage, 24/7 roadside assistance, and an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life — the value becomes clear. You’re not just renting a car. You’re renting a memory.

The Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About

There are a few things that catch people off guard with self-drive rentals:

Parking. Miami parking, especially in South Beach and Brickell, is expensive and sometimes impossible. Valet at a nice restaurant? That’s $15-$30 each time. Parking garages? $5-$15 per hour in popular areas. If you’re planning to drive around all day, factor in $30-$60 in parking costs daily.

Traffic. Miami traffic is no joke. The causeways get congested during rush hour. I-95 through downtown is a parking lot at 8 AM and 5 PM. If you’re trying to get from Brickell to South Beach at 6 PM, give yourself 45 minutes instead of 15. Driving a supercar in stop-and-go traffic isn’t fun — it’s hot, it’s stressful, and you’re burning fuel idling.

Fuel. These cars drink premium. A Lamborghini Huracán gets around 14 mpg combined. If you’re driving aggressively (which, let’s be honest, you will be), it’s more like 10 mpg. With a 21-gallon tank, you’re looking at $80-$100 in premium fuel every few hours of spirited driving.

Wear and tear. Most rental agreements hold you responsible for any damage beyond normal wear and time. That means if you scrape the rim on a curb, or if the paint gets chipped by road debris, you could be on the hook for thousands. This is where comprehensive insurance becomes essential (more on that later).

The Self-Drive Verdict

Self-drive luxury rental in Miami is for people who want to feel the city from the driver’s seat. It’s for the dreamers, the enthusiasts, the ones who’ve imagined themselves behind the wheel of a supercar. It’s for those moments when you want to make a statement that says, “I’m here, and I’m in control.”

If that’s you, keep reading — because there’s one more thing you need to understand before you book.

Chauffeur Service: The Art of Arriving Without Lifting a Finger

Now let’s talk about the other side of the equation — the experience that most people don’t even know is an option in Miami, but that changes the game for a specific type of traveler.

Chauffeur service through a luxury rental company isn’t just a driver. It’s a white-glove experience designed around one principle: you shouldn’t have to do anything except show up.

What Chauffeur Service Actually Includes

When you book a luxury car with chauffeur in Miami, here’s what typically happens:

You tell the company your schedule — your flight arrival time, your hotel, your dinner reservations, your meeting locations. A professional chauffeur arrives at your designated location in a pristine luxury vehicle. They handle your luggage. They open your door. They know the fastest routes, the best times to travel, and every shortcut around Miami traffic.

You sit in the back. The seats are leather, climate-controlled, often with massaging functions. There’s usually WiFi, charging ports, and amenities like bottled water and refreshments. You can work, make phone calls, or just watch the city pass by.

You arrive at your destination refreshed, composed, and ready. No parking, no stress, no navigating unfamiliar roads. Just arrival.

But here’s what makes Miami chauffeur service different from what you’d get in other cities: the fleet. We’re not talking about standard town cars. In Miami, chauffeur service typically means:

  • Mercedes-Maybach S-Class — The definitive luxury sedan. Rear reclining seats, massaging functions, and a whisper-quiet cabin.
  • Cadillac Escalade ESV — Full-size SUV luxury. Plenty of room for groups, luggage, or clients.
  • BMW 7 Series — Modern German luxury with a tech-forward interior.
  • Lincoln Navigator — American luxury at its finest. Spacious, comfortable, and statement-making.

Some companies, including Miami Exotic Rents, can also arrange chauffeur service in exotic vehicles if you want that specific statement — arriving in a Rolls-Royce with a private chauffeur is a whole different level.

The Experience: What It Actually Feels Like

Let me paint a picture. You’ve just landed at MIA after a 6-hour flight from New York. You’re tired, you’ve got a suitcase and a carry-on, and you have a dinner meeting in Coral Gables at 8 PM.

Instead of dealing with a rideshare or rental car counter, you walk out of arrivals and your chauffeur is there holding a sign with your name. They take your bags, open the rear door of a black Mercedes-Maybach, and you slide into cool leather seats. There’s a bottle of water waiting. Your phone is already charging.

The chauffeur knows the route. They know that the traffic on I-95 is heavy right now, so they’re taking the Old Cutler Road route through Coral Gables. You have time to freshen up, review your notes, or just close your eyes for 25 minutes.

You arrive at the restaurant. The chauffeur opens your door, thanks you for choosing their service, and hands you your bags. You walk into your dinner meeting feeling like you just stepped off a private jet — because in a sense, you did.

That’s the chauffeur experience. It’s not about the car. It’s about what the car enables you to be: composed, prepared, and in control of your time.

When Chauffeur Service Makes Sense

Chauffeur service is the right choice in these scenarios:

You have a tight schedule. Business traveler heading to back-to-back meetings in Brickell, Brickell, and Bal Harbour? Chauffeur service means you can work, make calls, and prepare in the back seat while someone else handles the driving. No wasted time, no stress.

You’re entertaining clients. Taking a prospective client to dinner? Nothing says “I’ve made it” like arriving in the back of a luxury sedan with a professional chauffeur. It’s a power move that sets the tone for the entire evening.

You want to drink. Let’s be honest: Miami’s nightlife is legendary. If you’re planning a night out at Club Liv, Story, or one of the many incredible restaurants with exceptional wine programs, you don’t want to worry about driving. Chauffeur service means you can enjoy yourself completely and arrive home safely.

You’re traveling with a group. Family vacation with kids? Corporate event with colleagues? A chauffeur-driven SUV gives you space, comfort, and logistics handled. Nobody has to navigate, nobody has to stress about parking.

You value your time above all else. If your time is worth $500/hour and the difference between driving yourself and being driven is 30 minutes of stress versus 30 minutes of productivity — the math is obvious.

You want the arrival without the work. There’s a specific type of luxury traveler who wants the statement of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley but doesn’t necessarily want to drive it themselves. Chauffeur service delivers that statement with zero effort.

The Real Talk: What Chauffeur Service Costs

Here’s the pricing breakdown for chauffeur service in Miami:

Service TypeHourly RateAirport TransferFull Day (8 Hours)
Luxury Sedan (Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series)$75 - $125/hour$150 - $250$600 - $900
Premium SUV (Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator)$100 - $150/hour$200 - $350$800 - $1,200
Mercedes-Maybach$150 - $250/hour$350 - $500$1,200 - $2,000
Exotic with Chauffeur (Rolls-Royce, Bentley)$200 - $400/hour$500 - $800$1,600 - $3,200

Note: These are standard rates. Peak events (Art Basel, F1, Super Bowl) can increase rates 30-50%. Most companies have minimum booking requirements (typically 2-3 hours for hourly bookings). Gratuity (15-20%) is customary and usually not included.

Compared to self-drive, chauffeur service is typically:

  • More affordable for short durations: A 3-hour chauffeur booking might run $300-$450. A 3-hour self-drive rental of the same vehicle might run $500-$800.
  • Comparable for full days: An 8-hour chauffeur day is roughly equivalent to a full-day self-drive rental in cost.
  • More expensive for exotic vehicles: If you want a Rolls-Royce with a chauffeur, you’re looking at premium pricing — but the statement it makes is unmatched.

The Hidden Value of Chauffeur Service

Here’s what most people don’t think about: the value of not driving in Miami goes beyond convenience.

Local knowledge. A good chauffeur in Miami isn’t just a driver — they’re a local expert. They know which restaurants have the best valet, which routes are fastest at different times, and where to avoid construction. They can recommend routes that show you the city’s best views.

Logistics handling. Your chauffeur tracks your flight and adjusts pickup times if you’re delayed. They handle luggage. They coordinate with your hotel concierge. They make sure everything runs smoothly so you don’t have to manage any details.

Productivity. In the back of a luxury sedan, you have 30-60 minutes of uninterrupted time to work, make calls, or prepare for your next meeting. That’s valuable. For business travelers, that alone can justify the cost.

Safety and peace of mind. After a long flight, a client dinner with drinks, or a day of meetings, the last thing you want to do is navigate Miami traffic. Chauffeur service means you’re always safe, always composed, and never stressed.

The Chauffeur Verdict

Chauffeur service in Miami is for people who view time as their most valuable resource. It’s for the executive, the entrepreneur, the client-entertainer, and anyone who wants to arrive at their destination looking and feeling their absolute best.

It’s not about the thrill of driving. It’s about the luxury of arrival.

The Direct Comparison: Self-Drive vs Chauffeur

Now let’s put it all side by side. Here’s exactly how self-drive and chauffeur service compare across the factors that matter most:

FactorSelf-DriveChauffeur
Vehicle ControlFull control — you driveNo control — you ride
FlexibilityGo anywhere, anytimeDependent on chauffeur schedule

The Key Takeaways

Here’s what this comparison tells us:

Self-drive wins on experience. If you want to feel Miami — really feel it, from the driver’s seat — self-drive is the answer. There’s nothing else like it.

Chauffeur wins on convenience. If you want to arrive somewhere without lifting a finger, chauffeur service is unmatched.

They’re not interchangeable. A Ferrari self-drive and a Rolls-Royce with chauffeur are two completely different experiences. You can’t substitute one for the other and expect the same result.

Both deliver the arrival statement. Whether you step out of the driver’s seat or the back seat of a luxury vehicle, you’re making a statement. The statement is different, but both are powerful.

The Hybrid Approach: The Best of Both Worlds

Here’s something most people don’t know: you don’t have to choose just one.

Some of the most memorable Miami luxury experiences combine both. Here’s how:

Scenario 1: The Business Traveler

You fly into Miami for a week of meetings. You book chauffeur service for airport transfers and client meetings — that’s 3-4 hours a day of productive time in the back seat while someone else handles the driving.

But one evening, you book a self-drive Lamborghini for a sunset drive through Key Biscayne. After a week of being driven around, you take the wheel yourself and feel the city in a completely different way. It’s your reward, your reset, and your connection to Miami’s energy.

Scenario 2: The Celebration Trip

You’re in Miami for your anniversary. You start with a chauffeur-driven dinner at a Michelin-star restaurant — arriving in the back of a Mercedes-Maybach sets the tone for the evening.

The next morning, you pick up a Ferrari Portofino for a scenic drive down the coast, top down, to Key West or down to the Keys. You control the experience. You make the memories.

Scenario 3: The Group Event

You’re in Miami with a group of friends for a bachelor party or corporate retreat. One day, you charter a yacht — and a chauffeur-driven SUV picks everyone up from the hotel and takes you to the marina.

Another day, you rent a fleet of exotic cars for a driving tour — each person takes turns driving, and you caravan through Miami together.

Scenario 4: The Content Creator

You’re shooting a content piece in Miami. You book a self-drive exotic for the driving shots — the content you need requires you behind the wheel.

But for the arrival shots at the hotel, restaurant, or event, you book chauffeur service. The professional chauffeur ensures you get the perfect entrance shot, multiple times if needed, without the stress of parking or timing.

This hybrid approach is how the most sophisticated travelers experience Miami. They use each service for what it does best, and they get the full spectrum of the luxury experience.

The Insurance Question: What’s Actually Covered

Let’s talk about something that’s not sexy but is absolutely critical: insurance.

Whether you choose self-drive or chauffeur service, you need to understand what’s covered and what’s not. This is where a lot of people get into trouble.

Self-Drive Insurance

For self-drive rentals, insurance is typically offered as follows:

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) — This is the basic coverage that limits your financial responsibility if the car is damaged. With most luxury rental companies, CDW is included in the rental rate, but you’ll still have a deductible (typically $1,000-$5,000 depending on the vehicle).

Liability Insurance — This covers damage you might cause to other people or their property. In Florida, this is required by law, and most rental companies include it. However, the coverage limits are often minimal ($25,000/$50,000 for bodily injury, $25,000 for property damage), so many travelers opt for supplemental liability coverage.

Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) — Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers in case of an accident. This is usually optional.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC) — Covers theft of personal items from the vehicle. Also optional.

Full Coverage / Premium Protection — Many companies offer comprehensive packages that include CDW with $0 deductible, supplemental liability, PAI, and PEC. This is what I recommend for anyone renting a high-value exotic car. The extra $50-$100 per day could save you thousands in the event of an incident.

Here’s the thing: with exotic car rentals, the stakes are higher. A Lamborghini Huracán costs $200,000+. Even a minor scrape or fender bender can result in thousands of dollars in repairs. Don’t skimp on coverage.

Chauffeur Service Insurance

With chauffeur service, the insurance question is simpler because the rental company maintains the vehicle and employs the drivers. Here’s what’s typically covered:

Commercial Auto Insurance — Chauffeur vehicles are commercial vehicles, which means they carry commercial-grade insurance. This is typically more comprehensive than personal auto insurance and includes higher liability limits.

Passenger Liability — The rental company’s policy covers you as a passenger. You’re not responsible for accidents that occur while you’re in the vehicle.

Worker’s Compensation — The chauffeur is an employee of the company, which means they’re covered by worker’s comp. This protects you from liability if the chauffeur is injured while working.

One thing to note: if you book chauffeur service through a third-party app or a rideshare platform, the insurance situation can be murkier. Make sure you’re booking through a legitimate luxury transportation company that maintains commercial insurance coverage. This is where dedicated luxury rental companies like Miami Exotic Rents have an advantage — they’re fully insured, transparent about their coverage, and can provide documentation upon request.

What To Do Before You Book

Before you sign any rental agreement, ask these questions:

  1. What is my total financial responsibility in the event of damage?
  2. What is the deductible, and can I reduce it to zero?
  3. What are the liability coverage limits?
  4. Is there a gap in coverage I should be concerned about?
  5. Can you provide written documentation of insurance coverage?

Get the answers in writing. Don’t assume anything. The peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re fully covered is worth the extra few minutes of due diligence.

How to Choose: A Decision Framework

Now that you understand both options, let’s make the decision easy. Answer these five questions, and you’ll know exactly which service is right for you.

Question 1: What’s the primary purpose of your Miami trip?

If it’s celebration, adventure, or experience → Self-Drive

If it’s business, entertainment, or logistics → Chauffeur

This is the most important question. If your main goal is to create a memorable experience — a birthday celebration, a bucket-list driving moment, a content shoot — you want self-drive. If your main goal is to execute a schedule efficiently and professionally, you want chauffeur.

Question 2: How do you want to feel when you arrive?

If you want to feel the thrill of the drive → Self-Drive

If you want to feel composed and prepared → Chauffeur

These are two completely different emotional outcomes. Self-drive gives you the adrenaline, the sensory experience, the connection to the machine and the road. Chauffeur gives you the calm, the control, the sense of having arrived as your best self.

Question 3: What’s your budget for the experience?

If budget is flexible and you want maximum impact → Self-Drive (for exotics)

If you want luxury efficiency at a reasonable cost → Chauffeur

Both options deliver luxury, but self-drive exotics are premium-priced. Chauffeur service in a luxury sedan can be more affordable than an exotic self-drive rental. If budget is a consideration, chauffeur service gives you more luxury per dollar.

Question 4: Will you be drinking or need to be productive in the car?

If you’re planning to enjoy Miami nightlife → Chauffeur

If you want the full driving experience → Self-Drive

If there’s any chance you’ll be having drinks at dinner or at a club, don’t put yourself in a position where you can’t drive. Book chauffeur service. It’s not worth the risk.

Question 5: What kind of statement do you want to make?

If you want to be seen arriving → Self-Drive (exotics)

If you want to be known as someone who commands presence → Chauffeur (luxury sedan/SUV)

Both make statements. A Lamborghini pulling up makes people look. A Mercedes-Maybach with a chauffeur makes people pause. The difference is the narrative you’re creating about yourself.

What Makes Miami Exotic Rents Different

Making It Happen: How to Book

Ready to experience Miami the right way? Here's how to get started:

For Self-Drive

  1. Choose your vehicle. Browse the fleet and select the car that matches your vision. Lambo for the statement. Ferrari for the experience. Rolls for the arrival.
  2. Select your dates. Miami's peak season runs December through March, plus major event weekends. Book early for the best availability and pricing.
  3. Confirm insurance. Review the coverage options and select the level of protection that's right for you.
  4. Schedule delivery or pickup. Choose 1-hour delivery to your location or pick up at their facility.
  5. Enjoy the ride. Pick up your keys, settle the security deposit, and hit the road. Miami awaits.

For Chauffeur Service

  1. Share your itinerary. Tell them when you land, where you're staying, and what your schedule looks like.
  2. Select your vehicle. Choose from luxury sedans, SUVs, or premium vehicles for the statement you want to make.
  3. Confirm the details. Review the route, pickup times, and any special requests.
  4. Relax. Your chauffeur handles everything from luggage to navigation to timing.
  5. Arrive in style. Step out of the vehicle looking and feeling your best.

Miami Awaits — Choose Your Experience

Here's the truth: both self-drive and chauffeur service deliver extraordinary Miami experiences. There's no wrong choice — there's only the choice that's right for you.

If you want the thrill, the control, the connection to Miami's energy — book self-drive. Find a supercar that speaks to you, take the wheel, and feel the city pulse through the engine. It's an experience that changes how you see Miami forever.

If you want the convenience, the composure, the power of arrival — book chauffeur service. Let someone else handle the details while you focus on what matters: the meeting, the dinner, the moment. Arrive looking like you own the city.

And if you want the best of both? Do both. Split your trip between the two experiences and discover the full spectrum of what Miami luxury can be.

Miami is a city that rewards the bold. Whether you're behind the wheel or in the back seat, make your entrance. Make your statement. Make this trip one you'll never forget.
