Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Apps: Buyers use the IAA Buyer App (store listing name: “IAA Buyer Salvage Auctions”); transporters in the IAA network use the “IAA Tow App.” IAA explicitly markets two separate apps for buyers vs. transporters. Tampa’s location page lists payment methods that may be more restrictive in‑branch (e.g., < $250 credit card) than IAA’s general ‘How to Pay’ options, so verify method and limits at checkout. IAA references gate passes being generated once payment is processed in support materials; while Tampa’s page doesn’t name ‘gate pass’ specifically, gate passes/receipts typically appear in My Auction Center after payment. Auction types available platform‑wide include Timed Auctions, Buy Now, Dream Rides, Rec Rides, Specialty and Virtual Lane; Tampa’s weekly sale runs Tuesdays 9:30 a.m. ET. If a Buyer Fee Schedule table is needed, IAA does not publish it publicly; consult Buyer Services or your invoice at checkout.
