Hi!
I am taking my rabbit to my friends animal rescue while I am going for a trip. We also might bring our dog with us in the same car. Our rabbit Drake has not seem to show any sign of stress with our dog, though or dog tends to whine and scratch a lot when in a car. Their house is about 15 minutes away. Will my bunny be okay? He gets really scared when I turn the blender on and tends to jump and run a lot. I’m also going to mention his carrier is made out of fabric, and is not hard.
 
It will be okay if he's used with your dog, have things he can distract with in the car like treats, veggies or just the daily food ratio. Will often help keeping a bunny distracted, myself spent a 4 hour train trip with my bunny and the person next to me had a dog that barked and tried to get to my bunny. My bunny just ignored the dog and ate his hay in the travel cage, chilling like no other day.

Can say my bunies aren't used with dogs, because I don't even own a dog.
 
He should be fine! My rabbits are scared of loud noises too, but my dogs go and bother them (by bother, I mean standing/lying in front of the cage and trying to lick the rabbit through the bars, of course supervised. We shut the dogs out of the room when we see the dogs getting too excited) all the time, and the rabbits completely ignore them. Some of my buns will even exit the room, and hop around with the dogs until I catch them or they go back themselves.

As long as the dog is well behaved and can leave the rabbit alone, whether naturally or on command.
