I read the van is running again and hope you're making it home.
However another option for anyone who is stranded beyond repair:

4) Visit a nearby Ryder/U-Haul place and rent a van/truck +
a car carrier (dolly or flatbed). For short and medium hauls
this is usually cheaper than arranging for shipping, but for
long hauls the per mile cost adds up. (30-50c/mile)

PS: Of course arrange for one-way rental ...
