There is a function of game.Players called GetPlayerFromCharacter that takes in arguments of the character you're getting the player of.

script.Parent.Hitbox.Touched:connect(function(p)
	--Get the player
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p)
	--Check if player exists
	if plr then
		plr.PlayerGui.GetInCarGui.TextLabel.Visible = true
		--Wait for the TouchEnded event to fire
		script.Parent.TouchEnded:wait()
		plr.PlayerGui.GetInCarGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
	end
end)

It works, and you know all you could have done is simply adding it into my script, but I did it myself then...

Your script wouldn't have worked
