What is Buying Power, and how much do I have?
Buying power indicates how many vehicles you can bid on and the amount of money you’re able to spend. When you initially register for a Basic Membership, you start with Buying Power of one vehicle up to $2,000.
How do I increase my Buying Power?
Increase your Buying Power one of two ways:
-
Place a deposit equal to 10% of the maximum amount you wish to spend
-
Upgrade to Premier Membership, which gives you substantial Buying Power to bid on multiple vehicles at a time
Buying Power deposits are not applied to vehicle purchases. Deposited funds to increase Buying Power can be fully refunded as long as all open invoices have been satisfied in full. You can increase your Buying Power or upgrade to Premier Membership through your My Account page.
Besides more Buying Power, what other benefits do I get with a Premier Membership?
Premier Members have several unique benefits, including:
-
Priority Member Services phone support
-
Free safety vest (one per membership year)
-
Free bottled water when visiting a Copart location

What is the Copart Member Protection Pledge?
The Copart Member Protection Pledge is our agreement to meet a predefined group of conditions, or else you get your money back. Subject to limitations, the Pledge is offered on purchases of any items bought through Copart for less than $49,999.99.
The Pledge contains statements about vehicle images, odometer readings, running conditions, title types, Brokers and more. As you make your way through the pledge, you’ll see that it thoroughly outlines limitations, eligibility requirements and claims instructions.
Copart will, in its sole discretion, determine whether you are eligible to participate, whether a loss is of the type that qualifies for a Copart Member Protection Pledge reimbursement, and the final amount of any reimbursement. We reserve the right to terminate the Copart Member Protection Pledge or modify its Terms and Conditions at any time – with or without notice.
If you’re thinking about buying from Copart, make sure you read and understand the Member Protection Pledge.
