If your car is infested with fleas you will likely have to use a flea spray or flea bomb to eliminate all of them. After using the spray you will do a thorough cleaning of the car to remove any of the flea poison residue and air your car out.
To get rid of flea infestations in your house, vacuum as much as you can. Several times a day would be good. It would also be a good idea to treat your animals.

Eventualy the cat will become anaemic due to the constant feeding from the fleas. The cat will die if not treated
This will depend upon a few factors. First, how much of the time is your cat indoors - 50%, 75%, strictly 100%? The more time your cat spends outside, the more time he/she has to pick up fleas and bring them in. Second, how bad is the flea infestation - are you seeing some flea dirt, actually seeing fleas on your cat or are you being bitten as well? The more fleas you see, the bigger the problem you have. Third, how much area do you have in your house, and how much soft material (carpets, beds, upholstered furniture, clothing, etc) do you have? Adult fleas are often only 10% of the total flea population - the rest are larvae and pupae that are in the bedding material of the infested animal (wherever the cat sleeps at, which is often all over the place). It takes 21 days for a flea larvae to become an adult flea, which is when most home flea remedies can kill the fleas. In the best case scenario, you have one cat who is inside 95+% of the time, has a little bit of flea dirt on him and you have a small studio apartment with minimal furnishings and hardwood floors. In this case, you can get a topical spot-on flea medication from your veterinarian that should clear this up within a couple of months. In the worst case scenario, you have several cats who are outside while awake but sleep inside, you are seeing flea bites on yourself and anyone else living in the house, you have thick carpeting and lots of furnishings (long heavy drapes, lots of upholstered furniture, etc.) in a family house. In this scenario, I would suggest contacting a professional exterminator to fumigate your house. You will still need to apply flea medication to your cats, as well as keep them inside, to prevent a recurrence of the problem.
