For transportation:

  • I looked up using a car from zipcar from Thursday to Sunday. A dodge caravan (minivan) would be about $400. A honda civic (4-door car) would be $319. Those costs include gas and basic insurance.

Also, it looks like a 1-way van rental from U-haul will is priced $169 plus gas and extra fees if we need to get insurance.

 
   

It looks like we have a request for 1 more person to carpool with us both ways and 1 person to carpool with us on the way back only.
