If you have only a small sheet of glass you can transport it by simply leaning it against the back seat of a regular sedan rather than using a moving van. The frames easily slide into an available space after the doors are loaded. You are just preventing abrasion on the door or scratching the glass.

Then you anchor a few pairs of 2x4s from the side of the bed to the door so the base won t move. You also may not want the doors to rub together during transport. If you have only one sheet of glass an alternative method of transporting it is to lay it flat between two mattresses.
