It's still chilly in some areas early am's have you thought about something like a heating pad that can be plugged into the car?
Depending on what you plan them to travel in this looks like something that could work, just make sure they have an area to be away from it in case it gtes to warm and them.

It's summer time, shouldn't run into cold enough weather to worry about it.

If you have them in boxes with some substrate and a lid, then they should be fine. If you use the ac and let it get too cold, cover the boxes loosely to keep the colder air out but still lets air in.

Are they little babies? Wishing you a safe trip. 90 ey? Uggg I melt at 78 degrees and higher. lol
If you're going to have the AC on try a heating pad under their carrier but only like 1/3 under it and the other 2/3's
with no heating pad so they can chose how warm they want to be.
