Be a Premier Member 

What’s the difference between a Basic Membership and a Premier Membership?

A Basic Membership works best for:

• Members who are purchasing a single vehicle 

  Basic Members can only bid on one car at a time without a deposit and only five cars at a time with a deposit. With no deposit, Buying Power is limited to $2,000, which means that you can only bid on one vehicle up to $2,000. If you plan to bid higher, you would need to have on file a deposit that is 10% of the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for the vehicle. For example, a $3,500 bid would require a deposit of $350. If you plan to bid during the live online auction, you would need to plan ahead and put down this deposit prior to the start of the auction so you don’t miss out on any critical bids. 

A Premier Membership works best for:

• Members who plan to purchase multiple vehicles
• Members who want to bid on more than one vehicle at a time
• Members who want to avoid the time and hassle of adding a deposit each time their bidding limit is reached
•  

With Premier Membership you can bid on items in which your licensing on file allows (up to $100K bid limit per day unless additional approvals are granted by Regional or General Managers). 

How much does a Premier Membership cost?

Upgrading to a Premier Membership requires a one-time, fully refundable $400 deposit and a $249 (non-refundable) initial membership fee.

What other perks does Premier Membership offer?

As a Premier Member, you also receive access to: 

Substantial Buying Power 

Bid on multiple cars, across multiple auctions 

Priority Member Services phone support 

In-location perks like Fast Pass barcode scanning to view vehicles, exclusive invites to Member Appreciation events, complimentary bottled water at each visit, and a free Copart safety vest (limited to one per membership year) 

I’m bidding under a Broker account. Can I pay to upgrade to Premier Membership?

Buying Power of a Broker account is at the discretion of the Broker, and these accounts are not eligible for Premier Membership. If you’d like to increase your Buying Power, contact your Broker for an additional deposit.

Does a Premier Membership allow me access to the entire Copart inventory?

Your access to the Copart Inventory is based on your licensing on file, not on your Membership type. Visit our Licensing Page for more information on the vehicles you’re eligible to buy from Copart.

How long will my Premier Membership last?

Premier benefits last for one year. Contact Member.Services@Copart.com for more information.
