Gate Fee

A $79 Gate Fee is assessed to all Copart purchases. This fee covers administrative costs and the movement of the item from our storage location to the Buyer loading area.

Late fees, storage fees, mailing fees and relist fees

The vehicle amount and all applicable fees must be paid within 3 business days of purchase, including the day of sale, to avoid a fee of $50 per vehicle (late fee). Storage rates may vary by location. If the lot is not paid in full within 8 calendar days (including the day of sale), the vehicle will be relisted. The Relist Fee will be 10% of the final sale price with a minimum of $600. Mailing fee $30 is applicable for each won lot.

IMPORTANT: buying a lot in Wisconsin, Alabama and Michigan via Copart account will automatically generate additional license fees plus $200 to standard fees.
