El Chalten / El Calafate to Bariloche - options in 2016/17 - Snow Covered Mountain Under Blue Sky

What are the feasible options of going from El Chalten or El Calafate to Bariloche? I know airplane would be fastest and there is a direct connection. I'd like to avoid it, if possible, though, for the experience alone.

So I'm considering either a bus or car rental.

What bus lines / corporations are operating between Bariloche and south Patagonia? I'm interested in timetables, websites and opinions on quality / punctuality etc.

Car rental - do you have experience with renting a car in south Patagonia and returning it in Bariloche? From what I'm seeing, most car rental companies don't allow separate pick up and drop locations between those two places :/ Any exceptions?
