Ferdinand used to hate driving in the car as well. I started giving him Bach's Rescue Remedy which helped a lot. Then, when he wasn't crying, I'd say "good boy!" and give him a treat. So he would get a couple treats per trip. I also have to have the windows cracked.
One problem was when I first got him, every car ride was to the vet, which is a scary place. I started taking short drives to some place he liked so he didn't associate the car with the vet.
Good luck!
