Check ebay... I saw someone on there offering a service that seemed reasonable.

AA with "Relay" would be the way to go - if your car is immobile then they'll take it home for you. However your car needs to be taxed for this, and obviously you need to be on a road for them to pick it up.

Definitely the best way, although someone has to be with the car at the time obviously, and chat with the AA man, which can be the most annoying aspect of a lift home in my experience!
