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
  • Contact phone number

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.

Step 4: Get a Quote

Submit your vehicle details and delivery location for an instant WhatsApp quote. Include:

  • Vehicle make, model, and year
  • Vehicle condition (running/non-runner)
