Rules and Notes

Extended Notes
Apps and who needs them: (1) 'Copart - Online Auto Auctions' (iOS/Android) — for buyers to search, bid (Pre‑Bid & Live), pay, and manage account. (2) 'Copart Transportation' — REQUIRED for transporters and strongly required for self‑pickup to schedule appointments, enter queue, check in on arrival, and access digital gate passes; also supports paperless pickup for carriers. Queue/Check‑in: 'Visitor Sign‑In' lets you get in line via QR/web without waiting at the counter; Premier Members receive priority in line. Driving restrictions: Copart states vehicles cannot be driven off the lot for legal and safety reasons; bring suitable transport. Title handling: US fees page states $20 per title handling if picking up in person; Knowledgebase articles sometimes state $30 — defer to the fees page as authoritative but be aware of possible variance by location or update timing. Fees page duplication: As of September 2025, the US Non‑Licensed Fees page displays both a legacy block (Gate Fee $79; Environmental Fee $0) and a newer block (Gate Fee $95; Environmental Fee $15). We treated the newer amounts ($95 gate; $15 environmental) as current, but confirm at checkout for your account. Storage rate: The exact per‑day storage rate for TX‑San Antonio is not listed publicly; Copart states rates vary by location — call the yard if you need the precise amount. Texas licensing: Individuals can buy salvage title in TX without a dealer license, but must use a Broker for clean titles.
