Car Auction Shipping

Do you ship cars from Copart?

Yes. Uwon Carriers LLC arranges transport from every Copart location across the United States. Copart requires vehicles to be removed within a specific window after purchase — we coordinate closely with Copart yard staff to ensure timely pickup and avoid storage fees. Provide your lot number and buyer number when booking and we'll handle the rest.

Do you transport IAAI / IAA auction vehicles?

Yes. We pick up from all Insurance Auto Auctions (IAAI/IAA) branch locations nationwide. Our carriers are familiar with IAAI gate release procedures, virtual title requirements, and can typically arrange pickup within 1–5 business days of your purchase.

Can you ship a Manheim auction vehicle?

Yes. Whether you bought through Manheim Express online, a physical lane purchase, or Manheim Simulcast, we dispatch carriers to any Manheim location. Manheim is a dealer-only auction but we work with both dealers and licensed buyers regularly.

Do you handle Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids purchases?

Absolutely. Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids buyers typically have enthusiast or collector vehicles that need enclosed transport. We offer fully enclosed, white-glove transport for BaT and C&B purchases — your vehicle rides in a covered trailer with soft tie-downs, not alongside 8 other cars on an open carrier.

Do you transport Barrett-Jackson and Mecum auction cars?

Yes. Barrett-Jackson and Mecum collector car purchases always go enclosed with us. We handle transport from all Barrett-Jackson events (Scottsdale, Palm Beach, Houston, Las Vegas, Uncasville) and all Mecum venues. These are high-value vehicles and we treat them accordingly.

Can you ship a non-running salvage car from an auction?

Yes. Many Copart and IAAI purchases are non-running, salvage, flood-damaged, or fire-damaged vehicles. We have carriers equipped with winches and heavy-duty rollback trucks specifically for inoperable vehicles. Disclose the condition when booking — there is typically a $150–$300 surcharge for non-runners due to specialized equipment.

How do I release my vehicle from a Copart or IAAI yard?

After winning your auction, you'll receive a virtual title or gate release document. Most yards require advance scheduling. When you book with Uwon Carriers, we handle all yard coordination — just provide your lot number, buyer number, and any gate release instructions. We'll contact the yard and arrange everything.

How much does auction car shipping cost?

Auction car transport pricing matches standard auto shipping: $299–$600 for under 500 miles, $700–$1,100 for mid-range routes, and $900–$1,400 for coast-to-coast. Non-running vehicles add $150–$300. Enclosed transport (for collector cars) adds 30–50% over open rates. There is no extra auction surcharge from us.

How quickly can you pick up from an auction yard?

Most pickups are arranged within 1–5 business days. Expedited service (24–48 hours) is available on most routes. If you're racing against an auction yard's storage clock, call us at (216) 412-4411 and we'll prioritize your dispatch.

Do you ship AutoBidMaster or SCA Auctions vehicles?

Yes. AutoBidMaster (tied to IAAI/Copart inventory) and SCA Auctions vehicles are picked up through the same yard process as IAAI and Copart. For AutoBidMaster export buyers who also need US delivery before export, we transport to your port of choice.
