This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Manchester Square is a quiet Georgian loop — cars stop at Hertford House’s gates directly, a luxury no national museum can match. At Paddington Station, your driver meets you on the concourse with the train tracked — so the 2-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the 2 miles, with 45 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
