Aversion to long drives:
Some people simple don’t like to drive long distances. For these individuals, those occasions which require long drives are best handled with an auto transport company. Rather then drive their car long distances they may pay for it to be shipped. An individual who is making a cross country move or even one which requires that they drive hundreds of miles may want to hire a shipper.

Age:
The older some people get, the less they enjoy driving long distance. Some people may not be able to. An older person that is moving hundreds or thousands or miles away but who still needs access to their vehicle, may be better served having it shipped, rather then trying to drive it themselves or asking someone else to.

Time Restraints:
A person that doesn’t have a lot of time, but who needs to get their car from one place to another, may find that car shipping is the ideal way to get it there. An individual that suddenly has to move for their job or due to some other circumstance may choose to have their car shipped. Individuals with busy lives or who have a job which requires long hours and/or frequent travel may find that car shipping is a tremendous help.

Comfort:
Driving long distances isn’t everyone’s idea of fun. Not everyone finds road trips enjoyable. Rather then be stuck in a car or vehicles for hours, a person can ship their car and leave the driving and subsequent boredom to someone else.

International Move:
Individuals that are moving overseas but who still need access to their vehicle will have to have their car shipped, unless it doubles as a boat. In these cases, it is a good idea to work with a car shipper that has experience with international shipping.

There are instances when having a car shipped makes sense. When a person is under time restraints and is unable to drive their car from one location to another, they may opt to have it shipped. People moving to another country might as well, as well as those who are older and have an aversion to long distance driving.
