I, like others, use a cat carrier - the plastic kind. I understand they can be expensive but if you have craigslist or some other classifieds in your area you might be able to get a cheap one sometime soon down the road for future vet visits/etc. I just line mine with newspaper, a towel, put some fresh hay in there and I clip a "small animal kabob" thing on the door with veggies to keep them fresh and off the floor. It is quite suprising how much nervous little piggies pee and poo on a car ride! I also have a smaller water bottle (the kind usually used for hamsters/rats) that I attach to the side of the door as well. I pack extra water, towels, newspaper and hay and veggies if the ride might be longer than 15 minutes. Sorry the pet carrier idea doesn't help you immediately, but maybe for future reference? If you have any animal shelters in your area they might have the small animal cardboard temp. carriers that you might be able to buy for a small amount of money. Good luck, you must be so excited to bring your babies home!
