Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
By rail you would go Balham (the Northern line and Southern) across to Wembley Park (Metropolitan and Jubilee), then a 12-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Olympic Way is queue-managed after full time and the walk is uphill. Door to door by road is about 35 min, or 55 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. If you are travelling light and early, the train usually wins on price. If you are in a group, carrying anything, or leaving after an event, the car wins on everything else.
From the SW12 streets the route runs via the A24 then the A205, finishing on A406 North Circular, then Harrow Road and South Way. Roughly 13.3 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 35 min clear, 55 min loaded.
Any address across Balham works, SW12 included, at whatever hour the South West London traffic is doing its worst.
Green Car Park off South Way is the usual private hire point; on full-house events pickup moves to Rutherford Way or Fifth Way. Olympic Way (Wembley Way) is pedestrianised for two hours after full time, so allow for a short walk to the car. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: Wembley Stadium, Wembley Park, HA9 0WS.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Wembley Stadium sits inside a matchday or event-day controlled parking zone, on-site spaces are pre-book only and go early, and the residential streets around it are permit-holders only with active enforcement. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Balham around 55 min plus that hour on a busy night - and booking the return at the same time, because the road out is slower than the road in.

Door to door the car is about 35 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Balham to Wembley Park plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Green Car Park off South Way is the usual private hire point; on full-house events pickup moves to Rutherford Way or Fifth Way. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.

No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
