Auction Joining
How do I join an auction?
You have several choices for how to join a Copart auction. Any registered user can view an auction, but only approved Basic and Premier Members can bid on a vehicle.
- On the homepage, click on the Auctions tab, and scroll down to Join an Auction. Then pick the auction from the list you’d like to join.
- For a vehicle that is about to be up for auction, select the Join Auction button in the search results or on the vehicle details page.
- From any Copart Locations page, which you can find at Copart.com/Locations, scroll down to “Today’s Auctions” and select “Join Auction.”
- Lastly, you can join an auction from your Member Dashboard.
Auction Times
Most auctions start at 12 p.m. local time, but locations in the Eastern time zone begin at 10 a.m. Most locations will have auctions on the same day and time each week. Copart also holds spotlight auctions throughout the week at different times like our Copart Select, Weekly Powersports Auction, Specialty Vehicle Auctions and Night Cap Sales.
To find information about all our auction days and times, visit the Copart Auction Calendar under the Auctions tab on the Copart home page. You can also find more information about auctions at specific Copart locations at Copart.com/Locations.
