World War Z by Max Brooks. Look for the unabridged version. They had a full cast doing the various sections of the book.

I mentioned this specific version in a related thread a while back:

Two I have and recommend, although they’re more sci-fi with some comedic moments are The Martian (nearly 11 hours) and Snowcrash (17ish hours).

The writing style of The Martian, being mostly (not exclusively) an audiolog lends itself to the audiobook format, and Snowcrash is always a ton of fun.

Otherwise, my favorite audiobook for travelling is the extended version of the World War Z (12ish hours) - since it’s also based on ‘interviews’ and works well as an audiobook, and as a bonus has huge scifi actor cast, it is excellent. And since each piece is shorter, you have a lot of chances to pause easily if you need to stop the trip for food/bladder breaks.

Have a safe trip!

Basically, any novel that feels like it should be read aloud is a fine pick. I also have a bunch of stand up comedian books: Carlin, Lewis Black, Dave Barry, and Denis Leary. To be fair though, I don’t have an audible sub though - they’ll offer 1-2 free audible credits a year as a trial membership, so I’ll take them, and cancel the sub before it renews.

99% of the time I want to read, not listen. The 1% is road trips, during which they are awesome.
