Auction listings can change and coverage varies. Cross-check with a report and compare sources when the purchase is high stakes.

FAQ

Copart fees are charges added on top of the winning bid, such as buyer fees, internet bid fees, gate fees, storage, taxes, and optional services. The exact fee schedule can vary by location, membership, and purchase type.

Almost never. Always budget for fees and transport. The all-in number is what matters.

A gate fee is a charge for processing/pickup and handling at the yard. It's common in salvage auctions, and the amount can vary.

Storage fees can apply after a grace period. If you can't pick up quickly, storage can materially change your total cost.

It depends on the vehicle and your buyer type. Some inventory is public, and some is dealer-only. If you need a broker, broker fees become part of your total cost.

Estimate fees before bidding, understand pickup deadlines, and verify the title brand/history for the VIN before you commit.
