What is auction vehicle shipping?

Auction vehicle shipping is door-to-door transport of a car bought at an auction such as Copart, IAA, Manheim or ADESA. A licensed, insured carrier picks the vehicle up directly from the auction yard, running or not, and delivers it to your address anywhere in the U.S., with $0 due until a carrier is assigned and a price that is locked at booking.

How much does it cost to ship a car from an auction?

Auction car transport is quoted per shipment from live carrier-market rates, generally about $0.70 to $1.00 per mile on open transport, so a 1,000-mile move usually runs around $880 to $1,010. Distance, vehicle size, open vs. enclosed transport, the season, and whether the car runs all move the number. The fastest way to see a real, all-in figure is our instant calculator (about 60 seconds, no phone call), and our cost-to-ship-a-car guide breaks down every factor.

Auction shipping FAQ

Questions buyers ask

What is auction vehicle shipping?
Auction vehicle shipping is door-to-door transport of a car you bought at an auction such as Copart, IAA, Manheim or ADESA. A licensed, insured carrier collects the vehicle straight from the auction yard, running or not, and delivers it to your address anywhere in the U.S., with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.
How much does it cost to ship a car from an auction?
Auction car transport is priced per shipment from live carrier-market rates, usually about $0.70 to $1.00 per mile on open transport. A 1,000-mile move typically runs around $880 to $1,010. Distance, vehicle size, open vs. enclosed, and whether the car runs all affect the price. Our instant calculator gives an exact, all-in number in about 60 seconds.
Can you pick up a car I bought at Copart or IAA?
Yes. We ship vehicles bought at Copart, IAA, Manheim, ADESA and most public and dealer auctions nationwide. We send a carrier with the right paperwork to pick up straight from the auction yard and deliver to your door.
How fast can you get my auction car?
Most auctions give you only a few free storage days before fees start. Tell us as soon as you win, and we usually arrange pickup within one to three business days so you stay ahead of storage charges.
How many free days do auctions give before storage fees start?
It varies by auction and location, but Copart and IAA typically allow only a few days of free storage before daily late and storage fees begin. Because those charges add up quickly, booking transport the day you win is usually the cheapest path.
Can you ship a car that doesn't run?
Yes, and many auction vehicles don't run. We assign a carrier with a winch and the right equipment for inoperable cars. Just let us know the condition so we send the proper truck.
Do I need to be present for pickup at the auction?
No. The auction releases the vehicle to our carrier using your buyer authorization and gate pass, so you don't need to be at the yard. You only need to be available to receive the car at delivery.
What do you need from me to book?
The auction name and location, your lot or stock number, and your buyer ID or gate pass. That's usually enough for us to schedule the pickup. You pay nothing until a carrier is assigned.
Do you charge for auction storage fees?
No. Our quote covers the transport. Any auction storage fees are billed by the auction itself, which is exactly why booking early to beat them saves you money.
