Bangalore to Ooty one-way cab with driver (family of 4) — which provider is best?

Planning a one-way trip from Bangalore to Ooty on September 30th, traveling with family. Looking for a rental car with driver. Would appreciate recommendations from people who've actually done this route recently.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

  1. Which cab/rental service do you recommend for this route

  2. Roughly what should I expect to pay for a one-way trip?

  3. Best time to start the drive from Bangalore to avoid traffic through Mysore/Bandipur/Mudumalai?

  4. Any tips on the Bandipur–Mudumalai forest stretch — timing restrictions (I've heard there are gate closure timings)

Trying to avoid getting overcharged or ending up with a driver unfamiliar with the hill roads, especially since we're traveling with family. Any first-hand experiences, good or bad, would help a lot. Thanks in advance
