Avoid Expensive Storage Fees

Buying a car from an auction is a great way to save money, but waiting too long to pick it up can cost you! One of our customers learned this the hard way – he paid for his car but decided not to ship it with us because he found another option that was $50 cheaper. A week later, his transporter arrived, but the auction refused to release the car. Why? Storage fees had reached $360!

If you buy from Copart or IAAI, you need to act fast to avoid extra costs. Here’s how to keep your purchase smooth and storage fee-free.

Storage Fees Start Fast – Act Quickly

Once you win a car at Copart, IAAI, or CrashedToys, we notify you about how much free storage time you have before daily fees begin. Please take this seriously – if you don’t pick up your vehicle on time, storage fees will apply!

  • IAAI storage fees are among the highest – up to $50 per day after the free period ends.
  • Copart storage fees range from $5 to $30 per day, depending on the location and how long the car remains uncollected.
  • CrashedToys storage fees follow Copart’s fee structure, so charges can quickly add up if pickup is delayed.

If you arrange your own shipping, you are responsible for paying these fees.

If you are looking for buy car near my location, make sure to check local Copart, IAAI, and CrashedToys auctions for the best deals and avoid unnecessary storage costs by picking up your vehicle on time.
