I would put the fish in Kordon breather bags. They can keep for many dayss in them. One consideration is that unless you have the tanks set up before you arrive, you won't have anywhere to put the fish when you arrive. The Kordon bags are filled with water with no air space. The CO2 dissipates from the water through the bags. You don't get the resulting pH drop you get in traditional bagging methods from CO2 buildup.
The only experience I have with them was a group of 7 Rotkeil severums ranging in size from 1" to 1 1/2" I bought at a convention. They were placed in a 6" x 8" bag on a Thursday, and I purchased them on the Sunday following, which made it close to 4 days. the fish were fine in that small amount of water. I was told they can actually keep for (6?)weeks.
The small amount of water needed will help by minimizing space requirements, and you have a buffer, time wise, when you arrive.
You should also consider unloading some fish that can be easily replaced prior to the move.
