How Auction Vehicle Shipping Works

Short answer: auction pickup requires a released vehicle, correct buyer and lot information, safe carrier access, and an assigned carrier that accepts the route and vehicle condition. Pricing and timing are route-specific estimates until confirmed in writing.

What to Provide Before Dispatch

  • Auction name, lot address, lot or stock number, VIN, buyer number, and gate pass
  • Payment and release status, pickup hours, storage deadline, and lot contact
  • Vehicle operability, keys, dimensions, visible damage, and loading restrictions
  • Requested equipment, timing, destination access, and authorized delivery contact

What to Confirm

Review the written price, estimated pickup and carrier transit windows, cancellation terms, and assigned-carrier details. Request the carrier's cargo certificate and confirm applicable limits, exclusions, and deductible. Keep auction condition records and both Bills of Lading.

A Realistic Auction Scenario

A buyer wins a non-running vehicle but the auction has not released it and the lot requires a specific gate pass. The pickup is held until those documents and winch-loading needs are confirmed, preventing an avoidable failed trip and storage delay.

Very professional service! I was unsure of who to look for with transporting my new Toyota Tacoma. I had never done anything like this before, so I was very much confused. Bold reached out to me and walked me through the whole process in a simple explanation. …

First time using a company like this, very polite from the dispatcher to the driver. Was able to get my car towed in a reasonable time and within the time frame they gave out. Also very reasonable with the price. Would definitely use them again if I had too.
