Possibly. It'll only smell when it's moist (i.e. first turned
on) and goes away as it dries up.

You might try turning off the A/C (while leaving the fan on) a few
minutes before reaching your destination. Shutting off the fan
and A/C at the same time usually leads to condensation in the
ducts, as it's cold and there isn't any air flowing. Mold can
grow when it's moist.
