Reducing stress during an evacuation

My fiance and I live in Charleston, SC. We recently made the decision to evacuate up north with his family before Hurricane Matthew hits our coast this weekend. While our exotic vet does offer boarding, the vet's office is located much closer to the coast and in the area that's expected to get hit the hardest. Needless to say, we don't feel comfortable leaving our chinchilla so we're bringing him with us.

We sadly won't be able to take his normal cage with us, but my fiance did pick up a single story cage (30.7"; L X 18.9"; W X 19.7"; H), and our chin won't get out-of-cage playtime during to being in a non-chinchilla-proof location.

We did purchase our little guy from a couple who moved up from Florida 3 years ago; they said they kept him (and his parents) in a small cage when they drove and there weren't any problems. I'm just looking for any advice anyone has to help us reduce the amount of stress our chin may face during the drive and 2 to 3 day stay before we can return home.
