depending on how far in advance you are, you may be able to recondition him. every day, feed him in the car, and afterwards take a SHORT drive. extend the length of the drive as you go along. sometimes this works sometimes not.
ginger snap cookies also take the edge off the nausea. don't travel him on an empty stomach, and you should travel him in an airline type crate with rubber matting to preserve his footing, and to save the vehicle's interior.
Lots of rotts are car sick from a really young age. i take them for car rides in a small airline crate with pine shavings in it to absorb any tossing of cookies. They quickly overcome this behavior once they find the meal in the car, and the final destination is FUN. how long is the trip?

Now this is not a scientific answer BUT it is easy and works for me- Put an old fashioned choke chain dog collar on him for the ride- the more tags on it the better! Seems the metal helps to eliminate the static electricity they accumulate....mine never get sick now and I had two that would "burp" all over the seat!

Personally, I would drive your dog around your negihbor in the van so he/she can get use to it. Or, whenever you go to the post office, or somewhere where you wont be long, take the dog and let he/she get the feeling of the drive. My dog was very afraid of driving, however, we started to take him places every time we had the chance. Also, i would take the advice of everyone else, seeing that you probably dont have enough time to take on my method.

You can give your dog Dramamine. You just need to contact the vet on the amount for your sized dog. Ginger cookies is also an holistic way to go.
