-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

Have you driven a van/truck towing a car trailer( with a car on board)? Or even a small trailer behind a car/pickup?
Looking on a map Washington, District of Columbia, USA to Bethesda, Ohio 43719, USA is only ~300 miles.
Would essential stuff (clothes, computer etc) fit in your car; store the rest. How big is the car? If you take a lot more stuff, will they sit in boxes in you parents garage?
Will you be going to visit the gf from time to time?
