Is there any way to relocate fish in 3 day drive?

I am relocating from Oregon to Kentucky and have 3 little community fish in a 10 gallon tank and another 3 semi agressive in a 30 gallon tank. I think it is a 3 to 4 day drive, and I don't want to release them in a pond or lake. If it's not possible, are there places that will take them. PLEASE, only serious answers, thanks.....
I do want to take them with me so I'm trying to figure a way out for them to survive the drive, thanks.
 
Pet stores might take them. Or you can put a free ad on Craigslist.org for someone to take them.
 
Just an idea but maybe try this:

A/C converters (the things that you plug in to the cigarette lighter in the car and which also have a regular outlet to plug into) are relatively cheap.

Pick up an A/C converter, put all of the fish into the 10 gallon tank, clean it and drain it down to about 8-9 gallons so water doesn't slosh,
then plug the filter and heater into the A/C adapter and leave the small tank on the floor of the car for the ride. Maybe put something under it like a towel so the warm car floor doesn't cook your fish.

Make sure you take it into your hotel at night because A/C adapters only work when the car is running.

No guarantee that they will all live... but at least you are giving them a chance to live.

P.S. You must be able to pick up 70 lbs. or so if you are going to be moving around 8-9 gal. of water.
