Private driver from Dublin?

We are spending 5 days in Dublin, then moving to the west coast to do a multi-day hiking trip from Liscannor to Ballyvaughn.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get from Dublin to Liscannor as currently there are 3-4 transfers by train or bus, and am exploring getting a private driver to take us (family of 4, kids 15 & 18). I already have the information about the buses and trains, just wanting to get a sense of cost or any positives about hiring a car.

Does anyone have a good driver, transfer company or taxi company they would recommend? If you've done this, how much did it cost? It's about 268 km/166 mi, 3.5 hours.

I asked a similar question back on July 7th and got no replies. I really thought there would be some recommended companies. Sorry we both aren't getting answers. If you find anything, please let me know. Thank you.

In 2018 I arranged a private driver for a day trip tour out of Dublin with Custom Irish Tours, https://www.customirishtours.com/. Derek, the owner, was easy to work with and responsive. I don't remember the driver's name but he was courteous and knowledgeable. The cost for a full day tour (approximately 7 hours) was €400.00.
