Auction Purchases

Buying from IAAI or Copart

Our auction car shipping service covers pickups from major auction houses across Canada. You provide the lot details, we handle the rest.

Shipping from Regional Auctions

We pick up from independent and regional auction sites too. Auto auction transport works the same regardless of the auction house.

Auction lot procedures

Some lots release vehicles within a day or two of payment. Others take longer. We coordinate with the lot directly to schedule pickup as early as possible.

Vehicle condition

A running car from auction loads faster and is easier to schedule. If the vehicle doesn't run, specialized equipment may be needed, which can add a day or two to the pickup window.

Route

Shipments between major cities move faster. If the auction lot or your delivery address is in a remote area, transit time may increase.

Transport options

Open carrier is standard for most auction moves. Enclosed is available if needed.

Vehicle size and weight

Vehicle size and weight. Larger vehicles take more space on the carrier. A compact car costs less to ship than a full-size truck or SUV.

Distance

Longer routes cost more, but the rate per kilometer improves on longer hauls.

Transport type

Longer hauls typically cost more. However, per-kilometer rates often improve on longer routes.

Pickup location

Some auction yards charge release or storage fees that are separate from your shipping cost. We'll let you know if any lot-specific fees apply.
