Yes, car travel is safe in the first month as long as there is no bleeding or cramping. Just ensure you take short breaks to stretch your legs and stay hydrated. If you feel any unusual pain, stop and contact your doctor immediately.

I had light brown spotting around week 6 of my pregnancy. My doctor advised me to rest, and luckily it stopped in a day, but I definitely felt safer after checking with her.
