Default trouble/problem/difficulty

I live on the outskirts and at night there's not public transport, my car is at the garage these days so I'll have problems/trouble/difficulties to get to the centre of the town.

Which word sounds better in this situation? Thanks for your answers in advance.

It's hard to choose one. All are applicable.

If you find the answer. Share it!

None-- I'd change to the -ing form:

My car is at the garage these days so I'll have trouble/ a problem / difficulty [I][U]getting to the centre of the town.

With these changes, they all work fine. Getting to town is just a single botheration.

The words underlined all have very similar meanings. For me, the most natural expression in this circumstance might be:-

"I live on the outskirts and at night there's no public transport, and my car is at the garage at the moment, so I'll have difficulty getting to the centre of (omit "the") town."
