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 Clapham Junction (National Rail) across to South Kensington (District, Circle and Piccadilly), then a 12-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a pleasant walk in daylight and much less so leaving late. Door to door by road is about 20 min, or 35 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.
The usual line from Wandsworth is the A3 then the A205, then A4 Cromwell Road, then Exhibition Road at the end. About 5.3 miles in all - 20 min when it flows, 35 min when it does not.
We cover the whole of Wandsworth - SW11, SW12, SW17, SW18 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Prince Consort Road, behind the Hall - Kensington Gore is red route with no waiting. Kensington Gore is a red route where a car cannot legally wait, so the pickup is always around the back on Prince Consort Road. 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: Kensington Gore, South Kensington, SW7 2AP.
Parking at Royal Albert Hall 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 concert. Working back, that means leaving Wandsworth around 35 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.
