Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
The public-transport version starts at Camden Town (the Northern line) and finishes at Marble Arch (the Central line), with a 10-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that which gate you leave by decides how far you walk. Door to door by road is about 15 min, or 30 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.
Out of Camden (NW1, NW3) the driver picks up the A400 then the A502, joining A40 Westway, then Bayswater Road for the run-in. Roughly 4.3 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 15 min clear, 30 min loaded.
We cover the whole of Camden - NW1, NW3 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Marble Arch or Lancaster Gate, depending on which gate you leave by - Park Lane is closed to waiting traffic. Park Lane and West Carriage Drive close around the event, so the meeting point is agreed by gate: Marble Arch, Lancaster Gate or Hyde Park Corner. 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: Hyde Park, Westminster, W2 2UH.
Parking at BST Hyde Park is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the festival. Working back, that means leaving Camden around 30 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.
£40 in a saloon, £50 in a 6-seat MPV and £55 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 15 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Camden Town to Marble Arch plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

Yes, and it is the leg worth booking. The driver is in position before you come out instead of you joining the queue that forms the moment it ends.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
