If you are with a school, you first need to get the approved contractor list from them. Then you need to call around. Prices will fluctuate greatly, so it is worth spending the time calling. Get some help from parents. Make a matrix so you are asking the same questions for each. Overnights will usually also include paying for driver room. Long distances may include 2 drivers. Ask for a reference. Some will have a set amount of hours and then charge a large amount for overtime.
Is there another team within an hour of you that might be doing the same trip that you could share a bus?
Good luck.
Have one of your non-engineering adult mentors join NEMO. They have to sign up on CD first. Then contact me. We talk about this stuff all the time.
