I drove from Virginia to Colorado, and then several years later from Colorado to Florida with -- count them -- six cats. I bought three of these carriers http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGEP7H8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, used the dividers as shelves (with a little bit of support beneath them), and wired them together, doors facing so they were one giant hamster/cat cage thingie, in the back of an SUV. Litter box in the last cage, each of the others had padding in the bottom and on the shelf, small water dish in the front one. The cats traveled like CHAMPS in there. We didn't sedate, and we didn't need to. Two of our cats were relaxed and curious enough that we let them out (one at a time) to sit in our laps and enjoy some pets, the others really didn't even want out. They basically just slept.

We broke the drive up into two days, staying in (let's be real here) a scummy hotel that had doors that opened to the exterior. Just walked in, said "Do you allow pets?" and they didn't even ask how many ;) We just tucked two cats into a carrier and scurried into the hotel like criminals, rinse repeat until they were all inside, let them loose and let them use the litter box, eat, and relax and sleep with us overnight. The drive was the worst part, the kitties were angels.
