Thanks for the responses but I have changed my approach back to using patients as flow items.

In case you weren't able to solve your problem yet, you can create a new person flowitem and then change its visual to a car using the dropdown in the Visuals section of the properties. Then in the create patient activity in the Arrivals process flow, select your new flowitem in the Patient section.
