Breast pump car charger?

My new job will require me to be out of the office for meetings and such, so I need to figure out a way to pump. I think the car w/an adapter may be the best bet? I have the DME version if a Medela Pump in style (same machine, but in a fugly tan carry case). Can you ladies offer advice or recommend a car adapter?

    I had to pump in my car for the last couple months I was working because my office building was under construction and there was literally nowhere left for me to pump. I have an Ameda pump and just got the car adaptor they made for it. Got it off of Amazon because it was a couple dollars cheaper than in the stores. Just make sure you have some sort of nursing cover to use while in the car. There were a couple times when I forgot mine and it was really awkward trying to cover up with just my shirt.

    I've had to pump in the car before, but I just bought one of those power inverter's from RadioShack.  I don't know if that's cheaper than getting the specific adapter for that pump though.  Here's what I have: https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3812863&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2818117#

    I used to pump in the car all the time.  I got the same type of adapter andreahshields  has.  I now use it to charge my phone in the car now that I am no longer pumping.
