As title states, kicking the tires on trying to get out of my current lease early and live at my parents' house for a while pending job prospects.
The general configuration is that my GF and I are thinking of each going back to our parents’ houses for a little bit until all this blows over and we get long-term job/financials straightened out. So, we will be emptying our current apt., which will entail getting rid of a bunch of junk, and then getting a storage unit of some kind for the big furniture and kitchen appliances and such.
So as far as this move goes, I will be doing a one-way from DC to Cincinnati (I live in Bethesda, but of course might pick up the rental anywhere around here if rates dictate). I may or may not bring my car, but given it’s mechanical state and cargo (mostly dimensional) requirements, need to rent something in the “truck/van” range, but honestly don’t need anywhere near a full 10’ cube’s worth of space.
I say “one-way” in the flights sense, where I just don’t have a timetable for moving back, so the move is going to be reasonably heavy in terms of clothes/computer stuff/misc., but I may or may not bring everything back later, so for right now, leaving that part open.
What sounds like the best overall option? (total out-the-door cost seems relatively close between the Uhaul and Suburban or minivan options, depending on specifics of each)

A few of details of where I am so far:
-Bringing the car is an open question – definitely keeping it for the time being, but agnostic about whether it stays in DC (will be at GF’s house in the driveway so it will be safe at least) or comes with me if it’s much easier to say rent a minivan that wouldn’t be as suitable to tow the car across the mountains on the way to OH. So let’s cover all options on the merits and then deal with the car issue down the road when I make that call.
-Car will be just less than 4000Lbs., for tow-rating purposes (so does that basically pit the Suburban vs. the Uhaul?), BUT aside from the towing issue, can’t possibly imagine the cargo weight inside the vehicle being a problem even for a minivan
-From my layman’s take, the standard Uhaul cube or cargo van (with or without the car trailer) probably is the most straightforward option with the car, but again, I probably don’t NEED all the space that the accompanying 10’ cube truck would bring to that (it looks like it’s only $200 or so more for the trailer if I do the Uhaul option, so I’m fine with that on a cost basis)
-Similarly, IIRC a minivan probably would not be as suitable for the towing (assuming here that the combined gross wt of trailer with car would be above the nominal towing capability of a FWD-based vehicle like a minivan)…but would probably be sufficient space and volume for what I actually need to do
-Presumably either the minivan or Suburban would be more comfortable than a Uhaul for the trip, but again not a dispositive factor for me if the cost works out and/or I don’t bring the car anyway
-Seeing at it will be a spring/summer move, I can’t envision any Wx issues that would necessitate a 4WD SUV, but again will be happy to hear any insights if that somehow matters here
