If the engine isn't running tire skates or dollies can be use to load the car onto a flatbed:

"Incorrectly towing a disabled vehicle may cause damage. The damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not lash or hook to suspension components. Use the proper straps around the tires to secure the vehicle. Do not drag a locked wheel/tire. Use tire skates or dollies under any locked wheel/ tire while loading the vehicle. Do not use a sling type lift to tow the vehicle. This could damage the vehicle."

The V-Bridle should do the trick.
