Hi, i got a 7 day JR pass through you and my final day ends today, due to timeframe and changes I have missed out taking the Shinkansen to Hakone. Can you please advise the best and cheapest way to go to Hakone tomorrow 18th April 2018 as it is my daughter birthday.

If you don't take the bullet train, it costs about half price but will take about 40 minutes longer.
The other choice is the Odakyu trains, and for those you'd need to get over to Shinjuku Station.
There is no right or wrong answer - it's all up to how much you want to spend versus how fast you want to get there.

Shin-Urayasu is on JR Keiyo Line. Any transfer takes time at Tokyo station; 20 min to JR Central Shinkansen, 12 min to Tokyo-Metro Marunouchi Line, 12 min to JR East Chuo Line,...
To Shinjuku, a transfer at Shin-Kiba is easy. But it costs more for Rinkai Line; Shin-Urayasu 8:35-(730 yen)-9:21 Shinjuku 9:30-(880 yen)-11:07 Odawara. 1610 yen, 8:35-11:07, 50 yen cheaper but losing 47 minutes...
