I have had to move / relocate my wine a couple of times and this is what has worked best for me.

You might consider placing clean plastic baggies rinsed with K-meta secured rubber bands over or underneath the bungs as well for extra protection for the wine and your vehicle. If there is a airlock, I have found it is best to replace the airlock for the actual moving part, although you may want to replace the airlock during the drive. All in all, keeping it in the carboys will be better for the wine (vs shaking it up with pouring to smaller containers - gas might build up and with higher temps, this could be a disaster - I'm just saying...). I would also cover the carboys with a sheet or something to shield from sunlight.
 
Well I did it in the carboys and didn't spill a drop ! everything survived just fine :sm
