Online only. Methods include Pre-Bid/Max Bid (proxy), Live Bid during the auction, Buy It Now, Make Offer, and Counter Bids/On Approval when applicable. Bidding can be done on web or the Copart Member App (no traditional in-person bidding).

Copart GO and Copart Seller App are for sellers. Virtual Queue/Visitor Sign-In: Copart indicates ‘appointment is required for vehicle pickup’ and visitors should sign in via the QR code or within the Member/Transportation App to hold a place in line. Title handling fees vary across Copart pages: Member Fees KB lists $20/title pickup at a location, while the Vehicle Pick-Up KB shows $30 per title; verify with the Ocala yard before planning in-person title pickup. Copart fee pages show multiple schedules (e.g., Gate Fee $79 on KB vs $95 on fee pages; Environmental Fee $10 vs $15). Treat the Member Fees pages and the US Licensed Fees pages as authoritative for planning, but confirm the latest amounts during checkout.
