Collection tips

Pay quickly. Copart charges a late payment fee if you haven't paid within its payment window (3 business days at the time of writing).
Book your collection slot through Copart's app or member area. Drivers usually need the lot number and release details.
Copart can arrange delivery to mainland UK addresses (typically 5–10 days), so compare that with a local recovery quote.
Get your transport sorted before you bid. Storage charges can wipe out a thin margin.
Take photos of the car when it's loaded, including any damage that wasn't in the listing.
Non-runners need a winch or a forklift load. Tell your recovery driver up front.
Check the V5C and keys situation in the listing. "No V5" lots take longer to sell on.
