  1. Do you have a roof rack?

    If so, it's easy. Get some rope, put the ladder on the roof rack, tie it down tightly. Put a red flag (or something dangling) on the back of the ladder so people can see it hanging off the back of the car (required by law). Don't go too fast. Make sure the ladder is within the carrying capacity (weight) of the roof rack.

    No roof rack? Still can be done, but will take more work.

    Bring an old comforter or towels to put on the roof. Put the ladder on the comforter, it will act as a cushion and protect your paint and roof from damage. Tie the ladder down to the roof (through the open windows will do for the short trip home). Ensure to tie the front down to the front of the car as well. Put on a red flag at the back, and drive SLOWLY home.

    Ladders aren't heavy so  you should be ok to carry something like that home without a roof rack.
