Rules and Notes

Extended Notes
Exact app names and who uses them: 1) Copart Transportation App (transporters AND Members doing self-pickup): schedule appointments, check in, enter office queue, obtain paperless gate passes, manage trips. 2) Copart Mobile App (buyers/Members): bid, pay, access gate pass QR, join Visitor Sign‑In. Gate Pass PIN workflow: Copart requires a PIN per lot—Members find it on the Payments Due page; when using “Send to Transporter,” the assigned driver receives the PIN and pickup instructions by email. Delivery timelines: Copart states most vehicles are picked up within ~6 business days after transport payment and delivered to most continental U.S. street addresses; ordering Copart Delivery prevents additional storage charges. Title handling: titles can be mailed (fee) or picked up on site for a per‑title service fee (help center pages note $20–$30 depending on article and timing).
Pickup Rules
Must arrange pickup quickly to avoid storage. If self-picking up or using your own transporter, download the Copart Transportation App to schedule appointments and check in on arrival. On arrival, mark yourself as arrived in the app; Copart staff will move the vehicle to the loading area and load it. Titles can be picked up at the same time for a per‑title service fee (Copart help articles list $20–$30 per title; see sources). Vehicles cannot be driven off Copart property for legal and safety reasons. Follow yard safety rules; tools/diagnostic devices are not permitted in the yard.

Premier Members receive priority in-location assistance.; Gate Pass and PIN: Members can access a QR gate pass via the Copart Mobile App; a lot‑specific Gate Pass PIN is required with lot number to schedule pickups and for vehicle release.; Yard safety and access rules: Members/visitors must exercise caution; no riding in/on Copart vehicles or equipment; do not start vehicles without a Copart employee present; tools/diagnostic readers not allowed in the yard; firearms, weapons, alcohol/drugs prohibited on property.; California licensing requirements: Public buyers generally need a Broker to purchase clean/salvage title vehicles; dealers/dismantlers/general businesses/exporters must provide required CA licenses and exemption forms.
