Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Apps and who uses them: 1) Copart - Online Auto Auctions (Buyer App): for browsing, bidding (pre-bid/live VB3), payments, alerts. 2) Copart Transportation (Transporter/Self-Pickup App): required for third-party transporters and buyers who self-pick up; used to schedule appointments, enter the office queue, check in on arrival, and present paperless gate passes. 3) Seller apps (Copart GO / Copart - Seller Mobile) are for sellers, not for buyers/transporters. Authorization/assignment: Buyers assign transporters via email from the Payments Due page; transporter receives app download instructions and gate pass access. Queue/appointments: Copart uses a virtual queue; appointment scheduling is required or strongly enforced—late arrivals may lose their place and need to reschedule. Delivery service: Copart Delivery can be selected and paid alongside vehicle payment; typical delivery timing is a few business days within ~100 miles, or ~2–3 weeks if farther. Payment nuances: Copart offers fee discounts for secured payment methods; in-person cash or other in-person payments incur a $20 per-vehicle surcharge. Auction format: All auctions are 100% online via VB3; on-site bidding attendants are not offered, but you may bid on a mobile device while physically at the yard. Membership/deposits: Basic vs Premier membership affects deposits and daily buying power (Basic: 10% deposit above $2,000; Premier: one-time $400 deposit up to $100,000/day).
