Well, I can bet it won't work so well if you don't have cloth seats. 
For leather or vinyl I would suggest seat covers or x-large hoodies and sweaters to put over the seats, and some jeans to layout on top of stuff. The biggest challenge was sliding around on the vinyl when he decided to crawl around.
It really is nice to have someone else in the car to keep track of them. My car has a dash shelf designed into it which helped, but I was still worried about things rolling around, like that basking log. Make sure everything is secure.
*IMPORTANT I carried my digital instant thermometer, and I think it is a must have for being outside the home viv. I made sure he was an okay temperature every 15 minutes. [warmer after eating, not too cold when exploring]
It's really difficult to tell without measuring both the surfaces and the lizard. For example, there's one spot on my dash that is really hot when the heater kicks on. And the window glass looks like it would be warm when he decides to squeeze up against it, but he got really cold fast. Be extra aware of temperatures while traveling, including checking whatever you come up with for a temporary vivarium. Also, be prepared to suffer uncomfortable temperature settings for the lizard's sake.

I wouldn't recommend taking pet lizards traveling. It's really a bad idea, unless you are very familiar with the lizard's habits and behavior when they are home. They don't show distress very well (i.e. crying or fussing) so it's too easy to miss life threatening trouble. Traveling really is dangerous for pet lizards and should be considered dangerous, like children in a swimming pool. Sudden unexpected problems can come up.

I took a shallow plastic tote with a lid, filled it with pet store fake vines to use as a safe container for him when I was driving in town/heavy traffic/construction. If your BD behaves like Knecco, you can talk them into going just about anywhere by dangling a super-worm in that spot for a few seconds. That's how I got to where I could get him to come to me when I needed him. I had a cup of worms in my cup holder. (sooo could imagine explaining that if I got pulled over)
What do you have for a portable viv? I tried a picnic food tent, didn't work well. A clear plastic tote upside down with a flexy desk lamp outside the tub worked better during the winter setup in a window .
