Faith use to get really car sick, i couldnt even take her to the gas station up the block. We tried Ginger Snaps, which did help but not quite enough (who wants to clean up puked cookies?) So I tried Dramamine. Especially when we moved an hour away and she had to be in the crate in the back of the car. It DID help. She did not get sick. You can get a bottle cheap at Walgreens.
I would keep practicing with the dog just to get the dog use to it, maybe make your trips a little longer each time.
Also I know sometimes where they are in the car makes a difference. Covering their crate/windows. Putting them in the crate or out. Windows up or down. These things can make a difference. The crate in the back is the safest place for the dog, but sometimes you dont have room or they dont do well in it- you just have to do what works.
ETA: I will say she did outgrow it, I can take her places and she wont get sick.
