Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Location context: Copart’s official page for “Lancaster, CA” routes to the CA – Los Angeles yard (8423 S Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90001). That yard is the designated location for auctions serving the Lancaster/Antelope Valley area. Auctions are 100% online; on-site bidding is not offered (some yards provide terminals but bidding remains online). Exact daily storage rates for this location are not publicly posted; the location page references a Storage Fees section, but the numerical table is not displayed without member access—call the yard for current daily rates. App requirements: Self‑pickup and third‑party transport both require the exact app name “Copart Transportation”. Buyers use “Copart – Online Auto Auctions” to browse/bid/pay. Sellers use “Copart GO” and “Copart – Seller Mobile.”
