Can the bike not go inside? A tarp down to catch any dirt/moisture and should be OK...would be cheaper and probably safer than carrying it outside the vehicle.
Only suggesting inside as a single bike in a bike car should be manageable (I mean in terms of space, not taking into account personal or partner's opinion on inside the car!).

Personally for 5 miles or less I'd ride.

Pendle's strap on rack served me well.

Until I got the Thule Roof system I brought a Saris Bones 3 although I never managed to fit more than 2 FS bikes to it. However I'm lead to believe it's the best tailgate carrier without the requirement on a towball.

They do the Solo which I imagine would be perfect, pretty versatile will fit almost any car...

Check out Hollywood racks, simple but strong and secure.
