Copart Delivery is a managed option that moves a purchased vehicle from a Copart yard to the buyer’s address without the buyer hiring a separate carrier.
This service streamlines pickup for buyers on tight schedules. It is handled by company employees or trusted towing partners, which reduces coordination risk compared with unknown providers.
Act quickly after payment clears. Copart holds a purchased vehicle at no charge for up to three days, including the day of purchase. Storage fees may apply after that window and timing rules can differ for weekends or holidays.
The guide that follows explains the Payments Due page, what to prepare, and what to expect at each stage. It also previews three ways to get a vehicle: the managed option above, a third-party transporter, or self pickup at the yard.

Choose the Right Vehicle Shipping Option From Your Copart Location
Decide by distance, timing, and the gear you have.
Managed service is often the fastest and easiest choice for buyers who want fewer steps. It centralizes checkout and reduces handoffs. This option suits busy buyers who prefer a single point of contact.
Third‑party transporter gives more control over carrier selection and equipment. Arrange pickup from the Payments Due page when you need specific haulers or rates. This route works well for long hauls or specialized rigs.
When to pick up the vehicle yourself
Self pickup fits local buyers with a truck or trailer. It avoids extra fees and helps when a vehicle is drivable. Follow yard rules and arrive inside appointment windows to avoid delays.
International buyers and export options
International buyers should consider Certified Resellers or a Copart Lounge for language and export support. Use the Shipping Estimate box on the Vehicle Details page to switch to International, enter your country and nearest port, and review quotes and time estimates.
| Factor | Best Option | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Urgency | Managed service | Central checkout speeds processing |
| Distance / Equipment | Third‑party transporter | Access to specialized carriers for inoperable vehicles |
| Local access | Self pickup | Lowest cost if you can haul it yourself |
| International import | Certified Reseller / Lounge | Export coordination and language support |
Key requirements include correct address info, strict pickup scheduling, and clarity on who bears transit risk. Remember many auction vehicles are not road‑legal; that affects transport type and equipment.
When a buyer selects a method, the Payments Due workflow becomes the operational hub for ordering service or scheduling release. For planning tips, see this guide to stress-free vehicle transport.
How to Order copart delivery From the Payments Due Page
Order processing on the Payments Due screen centralizes shipping estimates and checkout for each purchased vehicle.
The shipping estimate appears on the Payments Due page for each lot. It gives a distance‑based price guide and expected times so buyers can budget and plan logistics early.
Quick step sequence
- Open the Payments Due page and review the shipping estimate shown for your vehicle.
- Select vehicles you want moved and click Order Delivery.
- Confirm the request details, then complete a single checkout that covers vehicle costs, shipping, and fees.
Accuracy and timing
Before you submit, verify the delivery address and all shipping information. Accurate data reduces misroutes, extra charges, and rescheduling.
Expect a few business days for moves within roughly 100 miles, and up to three weeks for cross‑country transports. Schedule promptly to limit storage fees after the free hold period.
Need help scheduling or faster options? Plan immediately after payment and consider a backup transport plan. For professional coordination, see this pickup and transport support page: car shipping and auto transport.
Arrange a Third-Party Transporter or Shipping Company Pickup
For specialized rigs or preferred carriers, arranging a third-party pickup is often best. This route suits buyers with established carrier relationships, multi-location routes, or specific equipment needs.
How to send a vehicle from the Payments Due page
On the Payments Due page, select the vehicles you want moved and choose Send to Transporter. Confirm the transporter email and submit to release the lot for pickup.
Transporter email, app, and Gate PIN
First-time setup requires the transporter’s email. Accurate contact information is critical for gate access and scheduling.
The transporter receives two items: a link to download the Copart Transportation App and a separate Gate PIN email with instructions. Treat this as the compliance package for entry and retrieval.
Booking appointments and location check-in basics
Carriers must book pickup appointments and follow location check-in steps. Arrive on time, have ID and paperwork ready, and minimize time at the gate to avoid delays.
Risk, fees, and final checks
“Buyers should document vehicle condition and confirm release timing to protect claims processes.”
Copart does not cover damage caused by a third-party transporter, nor does it control additional transporter fees. Confirm insurance, special handling requirements (winching, forklift), and the pickup address with your shipping company beforehand.
Document the vehicle condition at release and confirm the agreed pickup time with the transporter to protect internal claims and reduce disputes. For terms and formal policies, review our terms and conditions.
Pick Up Vehicles Yourself at a Copart Location
Scheduling is done from the Payments Due page. Members select lots, choose Schedule Pickup, and reserve a time. Plan arrival carefully; late arrivals can lose their place and must reschedule.
The Virtual Queue reduces yard congestion. Members get a text link roughly two hours before their appointment to check in. If already on site, use the QR code at the entrance for fast check‑in.
What to expect at the loading area
On arrival, Copart staff moves the vehicle to the loading zone and helps load it onto your truck or trailer. This speeds handling and improves safety.
Rules, safety, and required equipment
Vehicles cannot be driven off the property for legal and liability reasons. Bring appropriate hauling equipment instead of planning to drive a vehicle away.
- Wear a safety vest and closed‑toe shoes.
- No tools or diagnostic readers in the yard.
- Keep clear of forklifts and electric fences.
- No pets in storage areas; minors must be accompanied.
| Task | Why it matters | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule pickup | Secures your slot and avoids delays | Use Payments Due immediately after payment clears |
| Check in | Virtual Queue or QR code speeds entry | Expect a text link ~2 hours before |
| Load vehicle | Staff assists to reduce risk | Bring a suitable truck or trailer |
Prompt pickup also limits exposure to post‑free hold storage fees at various locations. For additional pickup support, see pickup support or contact Best Car Shipping Inc. at (307) 288-5972.
Get Your Title After Delivery or Pickup
Receiving the title completes ownership transfer. Buyers should check status on the Payments page to plan pickup or mailing.
Title status checkpoints
Title Pending means the document has not arrived from the seller or facility.
Title Ready for Mail means the title is available to process and send.
Power of Attorney and Document Uploader
Copart recommends a valid Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) for anyone other than the buyer to pick up or receive a title.
To upload: open Account > Document Uploader, download the LPOA form, complete it, and upload a scan or photo. Some states require notarization.
Mailing, transport pickup, and fees
With a valid LPOA on file, the title can be sent with the vehicle for a $20 per-title handling charge.
| Method | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FedEx | $20 per title | Fast single shipments |
| USPS | $10 per title | Lower cost |
| FedEx bulk (up to 10) | $20 | Best for business buyers |
| USPS bulk (up to 10) | $15 | Cost-effective for multiple titles |
Transporters may be authorized to pick up a title with an LPOA; a $20 per-title fee applies and can be paid by buyer or carrier.
International buyers cannot receive titles outside the U.S. Titles may be mailed to a U.S. address or PO Box for forwarding. Contact the location to confirm how you want the document sent.
Conclusion
Pick the transport route that balances convenience, control, and cost.
Copart delivery offers convenience for buyers who want a single point of contact. A third‑party transporter gives carrier flexibility and specialized equipment. Self pickup keeps hands‑on control at the yard and lowers fees.
Arrange movement quickly. Vehicles are held at no charge for up to three days; extra storage fees vary by location. Prompt planning reduces surprise costs when managing multiple lots.
Third‑party carriers may add fees and carry damage responsibility outside the facility’s coverage. Document vehicle condition, confirm insurance, and verify paperwork to limit disputes.
For buyers in any country outside the U.S., Certified Resellers or Copart Lounges and experienced import shippers simplify customs and port handoffs.
