Membership Guide

Copart offers three membership types to meet the unique needs of our buyers.

• Guest Membership (FREE): Best for people who are new to Copart and simply want to browse inventory and create a Watchlist to keep an eye on specific vehicles of interest. 

• Basic Membership ($69 CAD): Best for individual buyers who may only bid on and buy a few vehicles each year. This plan comes with limited Buying Power, which can be increased with additional deposits. Your deposit on file with Copart needs to be 10% of the maximum amount you wish to bid on a vehicle. Example: A $3,500 bid would require a deposit of $350.

• Premier Membership ($265 CAD): Best for individuals and business buyers who plan to bid on and buy several vehicles each year. This plan comes with substantial Buying Power.

How much should I deposit to bid on five vehicles at a time (for Basic Members)?

• As a Basic Member, you can bid on up to five vehicles within your desired Buying Power

• The deposit would need to cover the final high bid of all lots (at least 10% of the amount you plan to bid on).

• Example: $500 deposit = $5,000 Buying Power.

• If you bid on/win one vehicle for $3,000, you only have $2000 available toward one to four vehicles (until the invoice has been paid in full).

• Basic Members should keep in mind that if they win a lot for $3,000 – our system will hold that Buying Power until the invoice has been paid in full.

• Premier Members get unlimited Buying Power and can bid on many vehicles at a time without having to make deposits each time. To upgrade to Premier or add a deposit, visit our Payment section to see the instructions.

If I upgrade to Premier, can I bid on all Copart inventory?

• • Individuals planning to buy without Brokers and other third-party companies may bid on No License Required inventory.

• Getting access to more inventory depends on the documents that you have on file with Copart. Premier Membership allows you to bid on more than five vehicles at a time without placing deposits each time, but it doesn’t provide access to more vehicles.

• To get access to more inventory, you may contact a Broker or provide business licenses and place bids as a business, not an individual. If you’re already a business and would like to get access to more inventory, please refer to our Provincial licensing requirements to see what additional licenses you need upload to your account.
