If you are a Copart UK member, there are many tools and services to help you buy vehicles more easily and confidently. Here are some quick and simple tips to get the most out of your membership.
1. Speed Up Your Registration
Want to start bidding quickly? Use our Express Registration service. For £8.50, your account can be activated within two working hours, as long as your documents are correct and verified. For more information on this, visit our Support Centre.
This service is helpful if you are new to Copart or need to act fast on an auction.
2. Make Your Auction Experience More Convenient with Copart’s Online Tools
We have tools to make buying vehicles easier:
- Saved Searches: Save your favourite searches to find the vehicles you like faster.
- Vehicle Alerts: Get notifications when vehicles that match your preferences are listed.
- Watchlist: Keep track of vehicles you are interested in.
- Bid Fee Calculator: Find out what fees you might need to pay for your bids. You’ll find it on each Lot Details page.
We’d also recommend booking a Virtual Vehicle Viewing, which allows you to see key details of a vehicle in real time with the help of a Copart Teammate. This way, you can get a clearer picture of its condition before placing a bid.
3. Avoid Delays and Use Faster Payment Options
Choose the bank transfer payment method to ensure you get smooth transactions. It has recently been updated to provide faster processing. Ensure you use the unique reference number provided to avoid delays. Transfers between UK banks are completed on the same working day (excluding UK Bank Holidays).
4. Gain More Insights with Free Vehicle Reports
Copart provides Free Vehicle Reports on many of our vehicles, helping you make informed decisions before bidding. These reports include vehicle specifications and key details, service history (if available) and high-quality images from multiple angles.
Checking these details on the Lot Details page will help you better understand a vehicle's condition before placing a bid.
5. Stay Organised with the Member Dashboard
Your Member Dashboard is the main place to manage your Copart account. From there, you can watch ongoing auctions, access saved searches and alerts, handle payments and invoices, and even review your bidding history.
Checking your dashboard on the Member Portal often helps you stay organised.
6. Get the Most Out of the Member Guide
The Member Guide is your go-to resource for understanding how to use Copart effectively. It includes helpful information on:
- Navigating the platform
- Understanding auction processes
- Your rights and responsibilities as a Copart member
It also contains our Member Pledge, which outlines our commitment to providing a transparent and secure buying experience.
7. Find Answers Faster with the Support Centre
Our Support Centre is your first stop for answers to common questions about payments, auctions, account management, and more. If you need further help, our Copart Member Services Team is available to assist you. Visit our Contact Us page to get in touch.
