Sports Celebrities Define New Niche In Corporate Vehicle Shipping

Until recently, businesses and corporations were one of the biggest markets for vehicle transport companies. But that's been changing.

More and more sports stars are looking for vehicle transport companies that can provide them with high quality services for auto relocation. Other celebrities like movie stars and musicians will employ a reputable carrier company when they need to relocate, but they don’t move around as much as sports stars.

Vehicle transport companies are beginning to recognize the seasonal patterns in which their services are in high demand by sport stars.

Due to the regular seasons of soccer, football, basketball, hockey and baseball, sports stars move employ vehicle transport companies as they relocate from place to place for training and competitions, until they have some downtime to relax and return home again.

According to a representative of one vehicle transport company, the differences between shipping cars for corporate clients and sports stars lie primarily in the practical details.

Whereas most corporate executives send a delegate to pick up their car after vehicle transport, sports stars most often send somebody they trust, and that can be anyone, from their manager or agent to their chef or maid.
