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 Southfields (the District line), then a 15-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Southfields is queue-managed throughout The Championships. Door to door by road is about 15 min, or 25 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
The usual line from Wandsworth is the A3 then the A205, then A3 then A219 Parkside at the end. Roughly 3.3 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 15 min clear, 25 min loaded.
Wandsworth pickups take in all of SW11, SW12, SW17, SW18. Controlled parking zones and one-way systems are the driver's problem to solve, not yours.
Somerset Road or Burghley Road; Church Road itself is closed to traffic during The Championships. Church Road and Somerset Road operate a controlled zone through the fortnight, so drivers meet at the agreed gate rather than the main entrance. 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: All England Lawn Tennis Club, Church Road, SW19 5AE.
Parking at The Championships, Wimbledon is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the day at the tennis. Working back, that means leaving Wandsworth around 25 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.
£35 in a saloon, £45 in a 6-seat MPV and £50 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 Clapham Junction to Southfields plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

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.
A 6-seat MPV is £45 and an 8-seater £50. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
