have you considered renting a uhaul trailer?

you can rent one for around $200 and keep it for 7 days.

they have many sites and one way rentals.

It would decrease your mpg by 30%.

Answer 3

A good used Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, or even the Toyota Previa.

The Previa looks a bit like a suppository, but it gets the job done with decent space inside.

The Odyssey is possibly the dullest vehicle in the world.  On the inside, it is utterly soulless.

If all you're wanting the van for is moving, could you get by with something like a midsize sedan and just rent a van?  A decent midsize sedan has tons of room for one or two kids, all their junk (believe me, I know how much junk!), but won't hit you with the fuel penalty that a minivan will.  With a rental van, you only get hit with that fuel penalty once.  Or maybe rent a trailer and pull that behind the car.
