How much/where to get your model tested? Wind tunnel or CFD?

Post

Can the average Joe get his model aero tested for drag and lift?

What's better wind tunnel testing or CFD?
For wind tunnel do you just send the scale model and they test it for you or Do wind tunnels get rented by the hour and you have to test it yourself? I guess they provide the scales and instrumentation.
What wind tunnels are available for hire and How much do they typically charge?
For CFD are there companies where you just Email the 3D model and they charge you to run a top dollar CFD program for you?
