I take my grey Josey with me when we travel out of state to visit my son and his family, it is about a 4 hour trip. She does just fine, I have her in a travel cage and she rides and plays with her bell and talks along the way, I think she enjoys being with us.
When you get your bird you should take it on short trips to get him/her accustomed to going places so he/she doesn't mind the travel cage, Josey goes in hers with no problem.
