Dealing with an anxious pup

Poppy gets extremely anxious on car journeys, to the point that I avoid taking her anywhere that required a car journey longer than 15 minutes. It’s very hard watching her panting, shaking and crying for the whole journey even though she has a great time when she gets there. 

She has done this since she was a puppy. Does anyone have any recommendations to how I might be able to calm her down in the car. I’ve tried treats, rewards and lots of attention but it’s never gotten any better.
