Can traveling in a car to a new environment make someone who has asthma sick like having a cough and stuff?

The triggers go an asthma event vary with the patient by what "new" environmental exposures are encountered. The description is too vague to provide a firm answer. When you post here the more detail you provide the more likely a reasoned answer can be provided.

If they are allergic to new environmental triggers, smoke and pollution. Temperature changes may also exacerbate asthma symptoms. Watch for coughing and breathing difficulty. Review your asthma plan, take medications with you and keep cleaning surfaces and floors.
