On Potty Training and Errands

We began potty training our toddler when she was about 18 months old. We were very inconsistent at first - only remembering to put her on the potty once in awhile, or only enforcing all-day potty training maybe 1 day a week.
Cate really got interested in pottying like a big girl while in day camp this summer, with similarly-aged kids who were already trained. More recently, she's gotten very interested in earning the stickers we give out for successful potty trips.
But what the heck do you do when not at home? If we're somewhere kid friendly, we make a dash for a potty. But for long car drives? Or while running errands?
I feel like I'm sending a bad message to Cate to use her pull-up diapers when out but the potty while at home. But the reality is that we do a lot of running around...
So other busy moms and dads: what do you do in this situation? Any advice on consistency??
