How To Ship & Transport A Car You’ve Won At An Auction

There are a few things you’ll need to do to ensure that the process of transporting your newly purchased vehicle from the auction site goes as smoothly as possible. 

The first step is to pay for the car – plus any taxes or storage fees that may apply. You’ll also need to take care of the paperwork, either personally or through a representative. Typically, the auction house will allow you to store your vehicle free of charge – or at a minimum rate – for a certain period of time while you arrange transportation.

You’ll also need to supply your driver with the information they need to locate and pick up your car. This information includes: 

  • The lot number where the car is located
  • Delivery address
  • Phone number
  • VIN number
  • Receipt from the auction house

Please note, if the driver is unable to complete the pickup due to insufficient information or incomplete paperwork, they may be forced to leave the car behind. This can result in cancellation and rescheduling fees, so make sure everything is in order prior to the pickup day.

What Types Of Cars Can You Find At An Auction?

With more vehicles being sold at auctions than ever before, you can buy anything from salvage or ex-fleet vehicles, right up to brand new cars.

Off-Lease Vehicles

One of the most popularly traded cars from dealers are off-lease vehicles which have been returned after their lease term, or have exceeded their mileage. Many of these vehicles are still running perfectly.

Salvage Vehicle

Salvage vehicles have usually been involved in accidents that have seen them written off. Buying a salvage vehicle at auction can be an excellent option for people who know how to repair cars. They can also be purchased as a source of valuable or difficult-to-find parts.

Company or Fleet Cars

The condition of a company or fleet car will vary depending on how much it was used, what it was used for, and how badly it was thrashed by the previous driver.

Repossessed Vehicles

If a repossessed car isn’t claimed or paid for within a certain period of time, they often end up being sent to auction. This opens up a lot of excellent opportunities for eagle-eyed bidders to find a great deal on a great car.

New Vehicles

While auctions are typically associated with second hand vehicles, you can also find brand new vehicles on offer as well. New cars are typically auctioned by dealers to make room for new stock. 

This means you can buy a brand new vehicle at a lower price, simply for being a year or two out of date.

How Long Does It Take To Transport A Car?

How long it takes to transport your auction car will depend on the location of the auction site, as well as the location we’re towing to. The further the drive, the longer the transit time. 

Upon making a booking with Car Transport Express, we’ll supply you with an estimated time-frame so you know when to expect your car. You’ll also be able to track your vehicle’s progress on the journey, while our friendly staff will be happy to provide any updates along the way. 

We operate from Monday – Friday, 7:30am – 5pm, as well as Saturday 8am – 1pm.

How Do You Transport A Vehicle From A Car Auction?

Once you contact us about transporting a car from an auction site, we’ll generate a quote based on a range of factors, including the type of vehicle you purchased, the pick-up location, and the final delivery destination. 

Once our quote is accepted, we’ll process your booking and transport your vehicle with our next available carrier. If your delivery is late, we’ll deal with the carrier directly so you won’t have to worry about chasing them up. Upon arriving at the depot, you’ll be given your keys along with a final vehicle condition report. Alternatively, if you’ve requested door-to-door service, our driver will contact you to organise delivery.

At Car Transport Express, we understand that your car is a valuable asset. That’s why we take care to transport your vehicle with our next available carrier and contact you as soon as it reaches its depot destination. We hand back the keys and our final vehicle condition report when you come to collect your vehicle, or if you organised a door-to-door service, our driver will contact you for delivery.
