Best way to tow a car

Looks like we may be driving a UHaul out to AZ.
What we're trying to figure out is.. do we ship my fiancés car and tow mine on a car trailer... or ship mine and tow his car on a dolly?
My car is AWD so we cant dolly it without messing with the car.
My cousin said pulling a full trailer will be a pain in the ass and get worse gas mileage, slower drive etc..
Will putting his car on a dolly put a lot of wear on his car?
Never done this before, suggestions please!

Rent a full trailer and pull it behind the u-haul, I wouldn't want to deal with a shitty tow dolly for that distance. Follow behind in another vehicle.

Have a buddy drive it out, show them around a couple days and pay their flight home?

We're trying to find someone (preferably 2 people so they can rotate drivers) to do that now.. trailer his car and find someone to follow in mine. We would pay for gas/hotel room and flight home.
 
I personally wouldn't want to use a dolly that far, I don't even like using them to get the car home in a pinch. They just seem sketchy to me. i'd find someplace to rent a full trailer and use that if you insist on towing it rather than just driving.

Have it shipped

Since last time i used a uhaul trailer it cost more to bring it somewhere and leave it, than bringing it back to orginal location

They do charge more if your not returning whatever you rent, truck/trailer. I was almost relocated to Texas, the cost for not returning the truck and trailer was minimal.
