I have transported a whole kiln load of stuff successfully in a car -
A local really cheap store - a kind of nothing over $5 type place - was
selling plastic trays, the kind you might find in a self service cafe, for
25 cents each. I bought a bunch of them, placed my pots on them so that
none were touching each other and pushed little pieces of non-hardening
clay around their feet below the glaze line to hold them in place. No
problems. Of course, it depends how far down your pieces are glazed, but I
imagine that you could improvise with many different things - two sided
tape, that stuff that there was recently a thread about for hoding pieces
in galleries etc. As long as you can immobilise them one way or the other!
If you put the trays on tilted seats in the car, just level them with a
towel or something underneath.

The plastic bags we get by the thousands from the grocery stores provide
great cushioning for dry, glazed and fired items.
