Help for Boys & Girls Club baseball team

Our local B&GC 12yr old baseball team is one of ten teams from across the nation to qualify for the Cal Ripken World Series in Winchester, MA in two weeks. The Cal Ripken organization is paying for the players and coaches airfare, and the Marriott hotel in Burlington is making rooms available for $115 night for players and family. The problem is finding rental vehicles for something less than an arm and a leg. Since there are 10 players and 3 coaches, we need to find a 15 passenger van. Local rental agencies are quoting weekly rates of over $900. There will also be appx. 30 family members making the trip that will need transportation between the hotel and the ball park in Winchester.

This team is the first from our little town to ever win the SW regional qualifier tournament and first to play in the World Series. We've played in 3 out of town tournaments this summer in order to qualify for the World Series, so travel funds are pretty much exhausted. Any information on where we could find reasonably priced transportation in the Boston area would be greatly appreciated.
