    Rather than asking people on here to submit a rough idea why not just phone up a few coach companies, at least then you'll have an exact figure and not just a guess

    The distance isn't really a factor here, but how long the driver will have to be paid for. If the party is from 8pm to the early hours - and cleaning the bus after any 'messiness' - that is a full day's work for the driver that has to be paid for, even though he might only be driving for 2-3 hours. I imagine you are looking at the order of €300.

    Be very careful, as you seem to be organising both transport and entertainment (the party), you could be seen as being a tour operator, with all the legal requirements attached. So talk to the bus operator on how payment should be made.
