In One Day with You, the first in my free short story series about Malcolm and Louise, Malcolm uses a private hired coach to take him and a family from London to Dover. $$$$$ right there. Since he wanted privacy, he paid for it.
Hired coaches typically took on as many paying customers as possible. The more the better, even if the passengers had to hang off the back of the carriage. Money brought privileges! Or should that be bought...
Here are a couple sites on travel in Georgian/Regency England.
