| Option | Best for | Main tradeoff | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full day hire | Stonehenge and Bath in one day | A long day, several hours of driving plus time at both stops | £400 fixed |
| Half day hire | Stonehenge only, back by early afternoon | No real time left for Bath | £250 fixed |
| Hourly hire (3h minimum) | A short add-on, not the whole route | Hours add up fast over 90+ miles; costs more than the full day rate past about 7 hours | £55/h |
| Point-to-point, one leg | A single journey, e.g. London to Bath only | Doesn't cover a multi-stop day with waiting at each place | from £45 |
| Self-drive car hire | Those who want to drive themselves | You do the motorway miles, fuel, tolls and parking yourself | varies, not fixed |
A full day's hire covering both Stonehenge and Bath is £400, fixed and agreed in writing before you set off. Half a day, enough for Stonehenge alone, is £250. Both are flat rates from the published rate card, not a fare that builds up on a meter.
Stonehenge and Bath in the same day is a full day's work for one car, so it's quoted as a full day: £400, in the electric Mercedes-Benz EQE, for up to three passengers. That figure doesn't move with traffic on the A303, roadworks, or how long you linger at the stones or in the Roman Baths — it's the price agreed before the car leaves west London, with no meter running and no waiting charge added afterwards.
If you only want Stonehenge and plan to turn back towards London by early afternoon, the half day rate of £250 covers that shorter trip instead. Hourly hire, at £55 an hour with a 3 hour minimum, suits a short local booking but stops making sense once the day runs past about seven hours: ten hours at £55 works out at £550, which is £150 more than the fixed full day rate of £400. That gap is why a Stonehenge and Bath day is booked as a full day rather than priced by the hour.
London to Stonehenge is around 90 miles, roughly two hours via the M3 and A303. Stonehenge to Bath is the short hop, about 38 miles and under an hour on the A303 and A36. Bath back to London is the longest leg, around 115 miles and two hours fifteen minutes on the M4.
The route runs west out of London on the M3, picks up the A303 past Andover and Amesbury, and reaches Stonehenge in around two hours from a west London start. From the stones, Bath is the short leg: about 38 miles south-west on the A303 and A36, under an hour's drive. The return to London is the long leg of the day — around 115 miles up the M4, typically two hours and fifteen minutes, nearly double the Stonehenge-to-Bath hop despite being a more direct motorway run.
Add in time to actually see both places, and the driving alone — five to five and a half hours — fills most of the day on its own, which is why this is quoted and booked as a full day's hire rather than a quick there-and-back.

Weekday mornings are heavy on the roads into London, and weekday evenings are heavy heading back out, as commuters finish work. A Stonehenge and Bath day runs against both of those flows, so an early start on a weekday is a reasonable aim — best quoted as a range rather than a fixed time.
The commuter crush around London is directional and time-specific: heaviest heading into London on a weekday morning, heaviest heading out of London on a weekday evening. A trip to Stonehenge and Bath happens to run against both patterns — the car leaves west London westbound in the morning, against the inbound rush, and comes back eastbound into London in the evening, against the outbound rush. That doesn't guarantee the M3 and M4 are clear, but it's a better starting position than a day that fights the commute in both directions.
On a weekday, it's worth asking for a time range rather than a single number for the Bath-to-London leg — anywhere from two hours to two and a half hours is realistic depending on the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday travel into and out of London is comparatively straightforward in both directions, with less to plan around.
No deposit is taken and no card is kept on file for this trip. Payment is settled at the end of the day, in the car, by contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay, on Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
Booking runs through WhatsApp, and every journey — including a full day like this one — is confirmed in writing before you travel, so the £400 price, the pickup time and the plan for the day are all agreed up front. Nothing is charged in advance: there's no deposit, and no card is held on file against the booking.
At the end of the day, the chauffeur carries a card machine in the car and takes payment there and then. Contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all accepted, on Visa, Mastercard or American Express. One thing worth knowing: UK contactless payments cap at £100, so a £400 day needs chip and PIN or a phone payment rather than a single tap. The driver is DBS-checked and operates under a TfL-licensed operator partner, and it's the same chauffeur and the same car for the whole day — no substitution and no handover partway through.
This is hourly, as-directed hire, not a scheduled tour, so you set the order and the pace. The same chauffeur and car wait while you visit the stones or walk Bath, with no separate waiting charge, because the £400 covers the whole day rather than a ticking meter.
There's no fixed script. Some passengers want Stonehenge first thing, before the crowds build, then a long, unhurried afternoon in Bath; others want to see Bath first and finish at Stonehenge on the way home. Either works, because the booking is a full day of as-directed hire rather than a set-route package — you and the chauffeur agree the order when you book, and it can shift on the day if plans change.
Because the price is fixed rather than metered, there's no separate waiting charge while you're out of the car at either stop. The same driver and the same electric Mercedes-Benz EQE are with you from the first pickup in west London to the last drop-off, for up to three passengers throughout. If a fourth person needs to travel, or the group needs to split into two cars for part of the day, that's outside what one car and one driver can cover — worth flagging when you book rather than on the day.

Which direction the rush hour actually hits. Weekday mornings are heavy on the roads into London; weekday evenings are heavy heading back out, as commuters finish work. A Stonehenge and Bath day runs against both flows — westbound out of London first thing, eastbound back in during the evening.
At £55 an hour, a ten-hour day prices out at £550. The quoted full-day rate is £400, fixed and agreed in writing before you set off, which is why this route is booked as a full day rather than metered by the hour.

Source: driver, first-handMore than three passengers. The electric Mercedes-Benz EQE seats up to three. A family or group of four or more travelling together needs a second car, which one driver and one car cannot provide alone.
Yes. It's booked as a full day's hire — £400 fixed, one chauffeur, one electric Mercedes-Benz EQE for up to three passengers — covering the drive to Stonehenge, on to Bath, and back to London in the same car.
£400 for the full day, agreed in writing before you set off. That's a fixed price regardless of traffic on the A303 or how long you spend at either stop.
Driving alone is around five to five and a half hours — about two hours to Stonehenge, under an hour on to Bath, and two hours fifteen minutes back to London. Add time at both places and it fills a full day, which is why it's booked as a full day's hire rather than by the hour.
Yes. This is as-directed hire, not a fixed itinerary, so you and the chauffeur agree the order and timing when you book, and it can flex on the day.
