I ordered a hitch for a Chevy Sonic and a Prorack four-bike rack for about $250 total. Depending on the racks available for your particular car and the rack you choose, I'd give a ballpark estimate of $250-400. Maybe even under $200 if you pick up a used hitch rack -- I see them pretty frequently on Craigslist.
I also installed my hitch myself. It was pretty easy, but required drilling into the frame of the car. I'd imagine most people aren't comfortable with that. (Literally the installation was "Drill holes in correct spots. Put bolts in holes, bolt hitch to frame using provided nuts.")
