Sometimes You Want the Back Seat
Most luxury rentals in Miami are self-drive. You pick up the car, detailed and fueled, and Ocean Drive is yours. But there is another version of the luxury rental — the one where the best seat in the car is the back seat. You step out of the hotel, the wedding venue, or the gala, and a professional chauffeur is holding the door of a Rolls-Royce.
That is what people mean when they search for a luxury car rental with a driver in Miami: the car, the arrival, and none of the white-knuckle Miami traffic. Chauffeured options are available on select vehicles when you book with Premier Miami Rentals — most of our rentals are self-drive, but being driven is absolutely something we can arrange.
Here is how it works, which cars are best to be driven in, what it costs, and how to book it without surprises.
How a Chauffeured Rental Works
The mechanics are straightforward:
- You pick the car. The luxury side of our fleet — the Rolls-Royce, the Maybachs, the Bentley — is where chauffeur service makes the most sense, though we can discuss options for most vehicles.
- You tell us the schedule. Pickup location, stops, timing, and whether the driver waits on site between stops or returns later. The more detail, the cleaner the quote.
- We arrange the driver. Professional, credentialed, and briefed on your itinerary. The chauffeur arrangement is quoted when you book, because it depends on the hours and the itinerary — a three-hour evening is a different arrangement than a full wedding day.
- The car comes to you. This is the part that changes everything. A self-drive rental starts at our Miami location. A chauffeured rental starts wherever you are — hotel, residence, church, terminal. That is the entire point.
Every rental keeps the standards you would expect from us: the vehicle detailed and inspected, a full tank at handover, and 100 miles per day included, with additional mileage available at a per-mile rate. Chauffeured or not, you are getting the same immaculate car.
There is also the knowledge that rides shotgun with every professional driver in this city: the back way into South Beach, where to stage the car near your venue for the photos, which Brickell block turns into a parking lot at 6 PM. You are not just renting a car with a driver — you are renting two decades of Miami street knowledge.
The Best Cars to Be Driven In
Any car can technically be driven. A handful are built to be driven *in*.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan — from $1,495 per day. The definitive chauffeur car. The magic-carpet air suspension, the rear cabin finished in hand-stitched leather, the coach doors that close themselves at the touch of a button. For weddings and first-class arrivals, nothing else announces itself the same way. Our full Cullinan guide covers it in detail.
Mercedes-Maybach S680 by Virgil Abloh — $2,499 per day. The rarest car we operate — only 150 units built worldwide — and the one for arrivals that get photographed. Rear executive seating makes it the ultimate car to be driven in.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 — $999 per day. First-class travel in SUV form. Rear executive seats, a ride smoother than South Beach at sunrise, and a commanding view of the traffic you are no longer fighting.
Bentley Bentayga — from $699 per day. Handcrafted British luxury that glides. A favorite for weddings — our wedding guide has the full playbook.
Mercedes-AMG G63 — from $995 per day. For groups who want presence with an edge. The G-Wagon reads as a rolling statement on Collins Avenue, with room for five.
Cadillac Escalade — $499 per day. Seven seats and the lowest refundable deposit in the fleet at $1,000. The group logistics workhorse — bridal party, executive team, or the whole family in one vehicle.
When a Driver Makes Sense
Weddings. The category where chauffeur requests are most common. The couple should never drive on their own wedding day — and the getaway photos are better with a professional holding the door. Start with our Miami wedding luxury rental guide.
Prom night. Parents book the car, our driver handles the evening, everyone arrives safely and in style. The full setup is explained in our prom rental guide.
Date nights and anniversaries. Pull up to dinner on Brickell in a Maybach and let the valet handle the rest. Our couples guide has more ideas along these lines.
Corporate and client entertaining. A chauffeured Cullinan is a rolling first-class cabin between meetings, dinners, and the airport. Speaking of which — airport transfers by special arrangement are one of the smoothest ways to start a Miami trip.
Milestone birthdays. The guest of honor should enjoy the champagne, not the Causeway. See our birthday rental guide.
Group nights out. Bachelor and bachelorette parties running between dinner, the club, and the after-party move better when one professional handles every leg. Our bachelor party guide covers the full itinerary.
And one reason nobody puts in a brochure but everybody understands: when the evening involves champagne, a professional driver is not a luxury — it is the responsible choice. You celebrate. We handle the Causeway at midnight.
Chauffeur or Self-Drive?
The honest comparison:
Self-drive is the Miami default and the majority of our rentals. You hold the keys, you set the route, and the refundable security deposit ($1,000 to $3,500 on the chauffeur-friendly cars) is authorized on your credit card. If the drive itself is the experience — the V10, the drop-top, the causeway at sunrise — self-drive is the answer.
Chauffeured is for when the arrival is the experience. The car comes to your door, the driving is handled by a credentialed professional, and your only job is to look like the day was planned that way all along. The trade-off is simple: the chauffeur arrangement is quoted at booking based on hours and itinerary.
Plenty of bookings combine both — a chauffeured Cullinan for the wedding weekend, a self-drive Huracán Spyder for the honeymoon days after. The fleet page is where both halves of that plan start.
What It Costs
The vehicle day rates are published and simple: $499 for the Escalade, $699 for the Bentayga, $999 for the Maybach GLS 600, $1,495 for the Cullinan, and $2,499 for the Maybach S680. Prices are before taxes and fees, and every rental includes 100 miles per day plus a full tank.
The chauffeur arrangement is quoted when you book, because a four-hour evening and a twelve-hour wedding day are different jobs. When you call, give us the itinerary and we quote the total — no surprises at pickup.
One discount applies to chauffeured rentals the same as everything else: 10% off rentals of 7 or more days, and 15% off rentals of 14 or more days, applied automatically. A week of chauffeured Maybach service for a visiting executive or an extended wedding-weekend celebration is exactly what the promo page was built for.
How to Book a Chauffeured Rental
Call or text 438-533-9053, or message us on WhatsApp with three things: your dates, the car (or a shortlist), and the rough itinerary — where it starts, where it ends, and what happens in between.
The general process is covered in our step-by-step booking guide, but chauffeured bookings have one rule of their own: give the driver schedule as much lead time as you can. A car can often be free on short notice — a professional driver with your date open cannot always be. A week ahead is comfortable; in peak season (December through April), two weeks is safer.
Your itinerary deserves the arrival it has been building toward. The back seat is ready.
