I'll probably always transport 1 bike so I'm not sure I need a rack.
If you're transporting just one bike, then the only reason I could see for using an exterior rack would be if your bike is going to be muddy and you want to keep the car interior clean. Other than that, there are several good reasons for keeping the bike inside the vehicle.
