I'd simply drive my car up, fly back, rent a "U-Haul van and tow the trailer up. U-Haul vans are $29.00 per day its a 4-5 day trip.
OR
Truck rental.
Another alternative: Rent a truck with enough payload for your car, then pay a towing service to do a "load-transfer". Basically, they'll use a roll-back truck to load your car into the U-haul. You'd have to buy your own tie-down straps, with the rear straps going under the door to the bumper. And they need to be vehicle transport straps, not home depot ratchet straps. Then, you can tow the trailer with the U-haul. All of the newer 14'-20' U-hauls have 2" hitch receivers and 7-way wiring.
