I guess it depends on her character - I think I'd be too worried about stressing a hamster out on that long a drive! It must be terrifying for them. My old hamster used to travel back and forth from uni with me and that was about a 3 hour drive - she never seemed to mind and usually went to her house and slept once she had had a little investigate. She came on the train once with me too!
My current hamster was freaking out just from a five minute drive down the road when I took her to the vet, she looked so stressed! She was obviously upset by it too because I found her asleep in her litter tray later on once we had returned, which isn't normal for her!
