Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Mobile apps and who needs them: Buyers should use the exact app name 'IAA Buyer App' to bid, receive auction alerts, and pay; transporters should use the exact app name 'IAA Tow App' to register as an outbound vehicle transporter and schedule pickups. Auction format is all‑digital on 'IAA AuctionNow'; no in‑person bidding/kiosks—use your own device. Time zone display quirk: the Honolulu branch page may list upcoming auction time in CDT but the branch note confirms Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. HT for local bidders. Honolulu’s branch page provides yard and office hours and pickup rules but does not state appointment requirements; some other IAA locations require appointments for offsite yards only. If you prefer delivery, 'IAA Transport™' and 'Auto Tow' services are available; for some port deliveries, a Dock Receipt must be provided.
Pickup Rules
Pickup available Mon–Fri 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. HT; vehicles can be picked up on sale day. Branch yards close earlier than offices to allow pullout/loading. Transport drivers and towers must wear a highly visible safety vest on IAA property. IAA loaders won’t lift items over 11,000 lbs; transporters are responsible for proper equipment and loading. After payment is confirmed, IAA sends a release email with pickup instructions; this email serves as the release form at pickup.
