Are you aware of Kayak.com?  Also, several carriers don't list their  
fares with any of the search engines; Southwest is one of them.

If I were in your shoes- having it transported or driven in this case  
would be worth the $.  Look at it this way- it'd be -really- bad if  
the car broke down and you were late back, right?  And what does  
Murphy's law say about that sort of thing? :-)

I can't think of anyone better qualified to look over the car before  
leaving, and take care of any issues that might crop up along the  
way...if you decide to go that route.
