I have a betta fish in a 5 gallon tank at college. It is only a 1.5 hour drive from home to college, and I only have to take that trip 4 times the whole year with my fish, but I was wondering if there is a better way other than just putting the tank on my lap in the car to transport my betta fish.
 
I've noticed that in pet stores betta fish are usually just kept in a small see-through cup with water and a few air holes on top of the lid. Perhaps you should get one of those? It is more convenient than carrying the whole tank around.
 
Put in in a bag fom a pet store of a cup. Then just keep the car at a normal tempature. He should be fine!
 
Go to petsmart and ask for an empty small fish bag.

As for the tank, be sure to keep the gravel and filter media wet during the trip.
 
Bettas are really tough..I used to put mine in a cup and put it in the cupholder! As long as your car maintains a normal temperature, he'll be fine.
 
Go to Wal Mart and buy a small Styrofoam bucket and put the water and fish in it. Make sure that water is filled to the top. Close the lid tightly so that nothing spills. A betta will easily survive a 1.5 hour trip without a filter.
