I did a couple of shuttles this year, and got some quotes on a couple more. I've been using 'A Walk In The Woods' and 'AAA Hiker Services' for the Gatlinburg area. Trips to places like Greenbrier, Cosby, or New Found Gap have run in the neighborhood of $40 to $75... and that was for trips that were all under 40 minutes one way.
But Fontana to Clingman's is over an hour and a half one way.
