Cat Downers?
My favorite cat that traveled so well in his crate disappeared and I rescued a cat at the shelter = less than one year old but not really a kitten. She hates the crate and howls I have seen some...

... a sheet over the crate....
Quite a few years ago, our now departed Missy (GSD mix) was a terrible traveler in the car/truck. For hours, non-stop panting, whining, pacing. She could NOT relax. We tried Rescue Remedy with not much success. At that time, we did not want to use any prescription meds, so we just "lived" with it. When we finally got to our destinations, Missy was just fine, back to her old normal self.
Anyway, getting to the point, we finally realized that if we were traveling at night she was much calmer. She couldn't see the world whizzing by, which upset her sensibilities.
I would by all means try covering the crate. It costs nothing, and might even work!:)
BTW, we hate traveling at night, so we put up with a lot of years of traveling angst. We had never crated Missy, so we could not cover her's up. In retrospect, perhaps a black hood or blinders . . . . . :@
