The essentials on pricing, timing, coverage, and what to expect. Use the calculator for a route estimate, then confirm current terms with a coordinator.
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.
