That's basically how breeders ship snakes. Except, what they use are called "snake bags", lol same basic thing. Pillow cases or breathable, dark, and keep the snake feeling more secure than a box or anything else.
Good luck!

Thanks! How long should I wait before trying to feed them a week or two?

I believe most people wait a week before offering food. Some will eat sooner and some won't take it the first time. Sitting in your car should be less stressful than being shipped via FedEx or UPS so they will probably eat if you wait a week.

Re: My first bps!
I agree.. a couple hours in a car shouldnt be too stressful if you put them in pillow cases. Im no expert by any means, but it seems best practice would be two separate pillow cases, and put in a place that they wont slide around.. you know (common sense stuff). I have no idea what your climate is.. but if you live anywhere similar to mine.. friggen 98+ degrees in my car during the day in the summer.. I doubt you will need to heat them.. I would avoid a booming stereo though, as the vibrations could possibly stress them further. Very cool looking snake! good luck, they are awesome
