Across all genres of fiction, not to mention in ''RealLife'', there is a fundamental need for people to get around. In some stories, little travel happens. But the more it does, the more likely this trope will be invoked: the protagonist(s)- ''and'' the villain(s)- will have a standard way to get around. And it will be ''[[RuleOfCool cool]]''. It may be unique. And if it is a form that is common in its worlds, it will stand out among all the other equivalents.

What's more, it will go well beyond being merely "transportation". It will be a tool, a weapon, a base, a home- maybe even a friend. These methods of travel often become iconic of their fictions, more so than any of the individual characters. They may even be [[VehicleTitle titular.]]

In universes where ALL transportation is cooler and different from what we have today, only [[AceCustom personalized vehicles]] fall under any of the Cool Transportation tropes. In ''Franchise/StarWars'' for example, the ''Millennium Falcon'' and the ''Slave 1'' might qualify, but the average X-Wing (or even Star Destroyer) would not.
