I did a quick pricing with Streetcar (hiring one VW Transporter van and one VW Touran MPV). 3 people in the van, 7 in the Touran. Bikes'n'shit in the van.
25 hour rental for both, with 250 miles worth of fuel (they charge per mile and rental is 8 quid per hour capped at 70 quid per 24 hours) comes to £245 total. So almost bang on £25 a head all in with 10 places sold. This assumes a 2.30pm van/car pickup, quickly load up stuff (booze, towels, bag drops, and driver's bikes), drive to Dunwich, dump van in car park, get bikes out and bimble over to the 5.38pm train from Darsham getting to Liverpool St for 7.45pm and up to the park for a swift pint. Do Dun Run and leave at about midday, vans/cars have to be back by 3.30pm. Does require 1 in 5 people remaining sober enough to drive though.
Almost certainly economies of scale (cheaper per head) with a bigger van and a minibus rental.
