Complete Post-Auction Transport Guide
Just won your Copart vehicle? Congratulations! Now comes the important part: getting it transported safely from the auction yard to your location. This guide covers everything you need to know about arranging professional Copart vehicle transport after your purchase.
Step 1: Get Your Auction Documents Ready
Before you can collect, ensure you have:
- Proof of purchase/auction confirmation
- Buyer number and lot number
- Delivery address and postcode

Step 2: Determine Your Collection Window
You typically have 5 working days to collect for free. After day 5, Copart charges £10-£15 daily storage. Plan your transport within this window to avoid expensive fees.
Step 3: Choose Your Transport Option
Standard Collection (3-5 Days)
Best value option. Vehicle collects within your window, transported to your address. Includes full insurance and professional handling.
Express Collection (Next-Day)
Adds £35-£50 premium. Ideal if you're approaching day 5 deadline or need urgent access to vehicle.
Same-Day Collection
Premium option at +£50. Available 8am-4pm. Perfect for preventing storage charges and immediate access.
