The only vehicle "trouble" you should have is your airport taxi - there, you'll have to get a minivan. Actually not a problem at all in the USA, not like it is in the European airports we've visited. Otherwise, the case packs smaller than an assembled bicycle, so whatever vehicle you plan to use to transport the bike will hold the case as well.

I have a Trico case (https://shop.sunrisecyclery.com/item/34) that does the job nicely, that I would love to sell. I just don't travel with my bike much these days. (No, I actually just don't travel that much these days if I am not in my car
.) Anyway, I used it once to get my bike to Oregon and back, and it has since been in storage in Colorado, where I will be for the weekend. I'd be happy to sell it for $150 plus whatever it costs to ship it to you. If that sounds in any way appealing, email me at margo at lunacycles dot com.
