Get a friend with a medium to big truck and go by a U-Haul and you can
rent a tow dollie. Or rent both Dollie & Truck together.

You push/pull the front wheels up onto it and they ride off the ground,
you need to have working back wheels on the towed car.

Arraignments can be made for a one way tow, so ask if it makes sense for
your situation.

Cheaper with gas and lunch than $250.
