Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Apps and who needs them: 1) 'Copart - Online Auto Auctions' app is for buyers to search, bid, pay, and join live online auctions. 2) 'Copart Transportation' app is required for transporters and for members who self‑pick up; it handles appointments, digital gate passes, arrival check-in, and queue management. 3) Seller apps ('Copart Seller Mobile' and 'Copart GO') are for consignors, not buyers. Sacramento has two nearby yards (CA - Sacramento at 8600 Morrison Creek Dr and CA - So Sacramento at 8687 Weyand Ave); make sure you schedule pickup at the correct yard. Title pickup fee amounts differ across Copart pages ($20 vs $30 per title); verify in your account at checkout. The Sacramento location page provides a specific storage fee table and notes that weekends/holidays are charged except when within the initial free period (rules vary for Online vs Buy It Now).
Pickup Rules
Pickups require scheduling and check-in through the Copart Transportation App (buyers picking up themselves and third‑party transporters). Arrive near your scheduled time or you may lose place and need to reschedule. Mark 'Arrived' in the app; Copart staff moves the vehicle to the loading area and loads it (heavy/medium duty lots are self‑load only). Vehicles cannot be driven off Copart property for legal and safety reasons—bring a trailer/transport. Have your Member Number and lot numbers ready at pickup.
Policies
In-person payment surcharge: $20 per vehicle for payments made at Copart facilities; electronic payment methods recommended.; Cash not accepted to purchase vehicles (cash may be accepted for fees only; limits apply).
