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 Finchley Central (the Northern line) across to Wembley Park (Metropolitan and Jubilee), then a 10-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it shares the post-event queueing with the stadium next door. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 25 min, or 40 min when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. Two people with hand luggage should take the train. Three or more, or anyone with a case, and the fixed fare splits better than the tickets do.
Out of Finchley (N2, N3, N12) the driver picks up the A1 then the A406 then the A598, joining A406 North Circular to Great Central Way, then Engineers Way for the run-in. About 8.2 miles in all - 25 min when it flows, 40 min when it does not.
We cover the whole of Finchley - N2, N3, N12 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Set down and pick up on Engineers Way, on the Olympic Way side of the arena. Engineers Way and Olympic Way close to traffic around stadium and arena events, so the pickup shifts to the Wembley Park end. 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: Arena Square, Engineers Way, HA9 0AA.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: OVO Arena Wembley 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. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the show. Working back, that means leaving Finchley around 40 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.
£55 in a saloon, £70 in a 6-seat MPV and £75 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 25 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Finchley Central to Wembley Park plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Set down and pick up on Engineers Way, on the Olympic Way side of the arena. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
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.
A 6-seat MPV is £70 and an 8-seater £75. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle. Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and the exact pickup address. Page reviewed 25 September 2026.
