I doubt you would find someone willing to take you for those prices a day after rosh hashana.

The average going rate hovers around $0.40/km X 900km (rounded up) would put you at $360 (not including lodging etc) which is a normal price to pay for off-season.
Until Monday 10/7, drivers can earn $400-$1200 per day just doing Uman-KBP/ODS runs.
If you were quoted $500 for a decent car with waiting and lodging included, I would take it.

If you are looking to save, consider letting the driver go in mezhibuzh, there is a 90% chance you will be able to find spots in someone else's van/bus from Mezhibuzh to Uman, then again from Uman to KBP (or pay the $35 and get on a shuttle)
I didn't know he's talking about a day after Rosh Hashana. But throughout the year, Poyechali/Uman Express charge $.18 a km for a basic car and $.25 for an upgraded car and you also have to pay for the kilometers for the driver to come pick you up and to go back after he drops you off, therefore I counted about 1,200 km for this trip.

That's why I estimate at $0.40/km

Is it lost, or do you just need someone to pick it up for you?

I left it there.
The tehillim is distinct. So I am hoping it will be an easy find for whoever would go.

Thanks for your advice. we ended up taking the guy I mentioned. He gave us a discount so it $470 for our itinerary (including some changes due to flight delays, etc). He actually had a beautiful Mecedes Vito and was extremely smooth on the road. Only downside was his lack of basic English. Overall we were very happy with him and would take him again.
Thanks again to everyone who tried helping out.
