If you have to buy something I would get large rubbermaid containers since they can be used for other things.
IMO from moving koi make sure its round and not any other shape, other shapes tend to disrupted the water and cause a lot of waves when in transit
i found that circular ones don't, just my 2 cents

I use a coleman cooler, the lid snaps shut and is near water tight. Not familiar with temecula so don't know how long of trip it is. You may want to add a battery air pump and take along some other water for W/C if more then a couple hours.
BTW 7" fish are not really considered large

According to mapquest thats a 1 hour drive, I would grab a battery air pump just to be safe (they cost like $10 at an LFS), and you could keep the fish in a bucket or a rubbermaid. I don't think a cooler would be that necessary. And 5-7" is baby size in my book
