Quick answers
What is the best car service for Art Basel Miami Beach?
The best fit is a prebooked chauffeur service that keeps one car and one chauffeur with you all day, because Art Basel week means several stops and a crowded convention center curb. Our ranked list above compares 8 options. True North VIP, listed first, books Art Basel week by the day: Executive Sedan $145/hr, Chevrolet Suburban $165/hr and Cadillac Escalade $175/hr, with an 8-hour minimum. Call 888-887-0324, 24/7.
How much is a car service for Art Basel Miami Beach?
During Art Basel week we book hourly only, with an 8-hour minimum. An 8-hour day is $1,160 in an Executive Sedan, $1,320 in a Chevrolet Suburban and $1,400 in a Cadillac Escalade. A 10-hour day is $1,450, $1,650 and $1,750. Taxes, tolls and fees are included; gratuity is optional. Sprinters for groups are quoted on request.
Where do cars drop off at Art Basel Miami Beach?
Art Basel's latest published guidance (2025 edition) lists car pickup and drop-off on Washington Avenue, Convention Center Drive, and 19th Street at Convention Center Drive. Your chauffeur follows the current Miami Beach police and venue directions on the day, and you agree a pickup point before you go inside. Text MBTRAFFIC to 888-777 for Miami Beach traffic alerts.
Can I book a one-way ride to Art Basel?
Not during Art Basel week. Because of fair traffic and demand, we book Art Basel week as hourly service with an 8-hour minimum. Your chauffeur stays with you for the day, so the airport pickup, the fair, gallery visits and dinner can all be covered in one booking.
Art Basel week bookings are hourly with an 8-hour minimum; call 888-887-0324 to reserve, or book online.

How we ranked these Art Basel car services

- Vehicle choice. Sedans for 1 to 2 people, SUVs for up to 6 and Sprinters for gallery groups.

How to plan Art Basel week, day by day
Tuesday Dec 1 to Wednesday Dec 2: previews and arrivals
Many collectors land Tuesday or Wednesday for the first previews at Design Miami, UNTITLED and the Downtown fairs. Start your first day with the airport pickup and give us your flight number: we track the flight, with a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. Add the $25 meet and greet if you want your chauffeur inside the terminal with a name sign.
Wednesday Dec 2 and Thursday Dec 3: Art Basel Preview Days
Preview Days are invitation only and these are the hardest hours to find a car near the Convention Center, especially on the Preview Day evenings. Your hourly booking keeps one chauffeur on standby for the fair, dinner and the evening, so you are not searching for a ride on Washington Avenue at 7pm.
Friday Dec 4 to Sunday Dec 6: public days
The fair is open 11am to 6pm. Arrive early to beat the opening rush, and set your pickup for a few minutes before 6pm or after the first wave leaves. With your chauffeur on the clock all day, you can leave whenever you are ready and go straight on to the next stop.
Evenings: Wynwood, the Design District and Downtown
Art Week evenings often mean three or four stops across the causeways. List each address when you book, so your chauffeur can plan the route and wait while you are inside.
Miami Art Week 2026 fairs and where they are
| Fair | 2026 dates | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Art Basel Miami Beach | Dec 4-6 (Preview Days Dec 2-3) | Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami Beach |
| Design Miami | Dec 1-6 | Next to the Convention Center, Miami Beach |
| UNTITLED Art | Dec 2-6 | On the beach, Miami Beach |
| InScope Art Festival (from the SCOPE team) | Dec 1-6 | On the sand at Ocean Drive and 8th Street, Miami Beach |
| NADA Miami | Dec 1-5 | Ice Palace Studios, Miami |
| Art Miami and CONTEXT | Dec 1-6 | One Herald Plaza, Downtown Miami |
| Pinta Miami | Dec 3-6 | The Hangar, Coconut Grove |
Moving between Miami Beach and the mainland fairs means crossing a causeway, which is where having your own chauffeur for the day saves the most time.
