Thinking about placing a bid on a Copart vehicle, but not sure how to do it or how much you’ll need to pay? These are the two most frequently asked questions we get from our Members. That’s why we’re devoting an entire blog to answering all your payment questions.
First, it’s crucial to know that domestic and international Copart Members have different payment options.
Domestic Member Payment Options
- Credit or Debit Card: At all Copart U.S. locations, we may ask you to show a photo ID that matches the card you are using. If you want to make the credit card payment online instead, the name on the credit/debit card must be the same as the name on the Copart account.

How Much You’ll Pay for a Copart Auto Auction
Besides learning about the available payment options, we know having a full awareness of the final amount you will be paying for a Copart vehicle is also important to you.
When you win a Copart auto auction, in addition to the final sale price, Copart fees and taxes may apply. Member Fees for members from the U.S. are based on the final sale price of a vehicle, while Member fees for international buyers are based on the final price of the vehicle. Also, a $59 gate fee and an Internet Bid Fee (Kiosk Preliminary Bid fee or Non-Kiosk Preliminary Bidding and Live Bidding fee) will be accessed. Separately, if you use a third-party financing company, a $39 administrative fee will be added.
Including the date of winning the lot, you will have three business days to make the payment. Be sure to make the payment within three business days; if not, a one-time $50 late fee will be added to each vehicle you win.
Now you know all that about making a payment to Copart, join an auction and place your bids at Copart.com.
