Default travelling with your bike

So in august I'm travelling about 9hrs drive with my bike. Now there is a company that will take my bike from home to transition of the triathlon then back home again. They said that they don't lay bikes on their side.

My question is what is wrong with laying a bike on its side. Ie laying it in the car for a long drive to an event?

Would you pay someone to get it to the event or just stick it in your car and do the work yourself?

Cheers

I just do it myself. That way when I get there, the bike is there too.

Better late then never. I did just put it in the back of the car. Worked fine. Was just worried about the derailer. We flew home so had to leave the bike at the folks place. Will get it in a few months, so for now just some serious running. Cheers
