Copart Vehicle Collection
Purchased a vehicle through Copart and need independent transport arranged? 247 Road Assistance provides vehicle collection and transport services for private buyers, motor traders, dealers and vehicle businesses.
Whether your purchase is running, non-running, accident-damaged, sold without keys or located a significant distance from its destination, contact us with the collection details and vehicle condition for a personalised transport quote.
Arrange Independent Vehicle Transport
Tell us the collection location, delivery destination, vehicle make and model and its current condition so we can assess your transport requirements.
Before collection, make sure your vehicle is paid for, released and available for collection in accordance with the auction provider's current requirements.
0330 043 7086Need Your Copart Purchase Collected?
Buying a vehicle through an auction can leave you with the challenge of getting it from the collection site to your home, garage, workshop, dealership or another destination.
247 Road Assistance provides an independent vehicle transport service for customers who need their purchased vehicle collected and moved to an agreed location.
This can be particularly useful where the vehicle is not roadworthy, does not run, has accident damage, has no keys or is located too far away for the buyer to collect personally.
For general information about transporting vehicles purchased through auctions, visit our auction vehicle collection page.
For a Quote, Tell Us
- Vehicle collection location
- Delivery postcode or destination
- Vehicle make and model
- Whether the vehicle starts
- Whether the vehicle drives
- Whether the vehicle rolls freely
- Whether keys are available

Transport for Different Types of Auction Purchases
Vehicles purchased through Copart can vary considerably in their condition and transportation requirements. We assess each collection individually based on the vehicle and journey involved.
Private Buyers
Purchased a vehicle for personal use, repair or as a project? We can assess collection and transportation to your home, garage or another suitable destination.
Motor Traders
Motor traders purchasing vehicles for stock, repair or resale can request transport to a dealership, workshop, storage facility or other business premises.
Salvage Vehicles
Salvage vehicles may require additional assessment depending on accident damage, wheel condition, suspension damage and loading requirements.
Non-Running Vehicles
Vehicles that do not start or drive may still be suitable for collection, subject to their ability to roll, steer and be safely loaded.
No-Key Vehicles
Vehicles without keys may have locked steering, transmission or parking brake issues that need to be considered before collection.
Project Vehicles
Vehicles purchased for restoration or repair may be transported to a home, garage or workshop depending on their condition and the accessibility of both locations.

Make Sure Your Vehicle Is Ready for Release
Before arranging third-party vehicle transport, the buyer should make sure the purchase is complete and the vehicle is authorised and available for collection.
Collection requirements and release procedures can change. Customers should check their current Copart account, purchase documentation and collection instructions before arranging third-party transportation.
Depending on the current requirements for your purchase and collection location, you may need to complete specific release or collection steps before a transport operator can collect the vehicle.
247 Road Assistance provides the independent transportation service. The buyer remains responsible for completing the auction provider's payment, release and collection-authorisation requirements.
Before Booking Transport
- Confirm the vehicle has been paid for
- Confirm it is released for collection
- Check your current collection instructions
- Complete any required third-party authorisation
- Check whether collection must be booked
- Have the vehicle or lot details available
- Check any applicable collection deadline
247 Road Assistance Is an Independent Vehicle Transport Business
247 Road Assistance provides independent vehicle recovery and transport services. We are not part of, affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of Copart.
Copart operates its own auction, payment, release and collection procedures. Customers are responsible for checking and completing the current requirements relating to their purchase before arranging collection by an independent transport provider.
Our role is to provide the agreed vehicle collection and transport service once the vehicle is properly released and available for collection.
Tell Us Exactly What Condition the Vehicle Is In
Accurate information about the condition of an auction vehicle is important. A vehicle that appears complete in photographs may still have mechanical, steering, suspension or wheel damage that affects how it can be loaded.
Provide as much information as possible when requesting a quote. Where available, photographs can also help explain significant damage that may affect transportation.
Does It Start?
Tell us whether the engine starts and whether the vehicle is known to run. A non-starting vehicle may require different loading considerations.
Does It Drive?
A vehicle that starts may not necessarily drive. Tell us whether it can move under its own power and whether the transmission operates.
Does It Roll?
Locked brakes, damaged wheels, drivetrain problems or accident damage can prevent a vehicle from rolling freely.
Does It Steer?
Steering or suspension damage can affect the ability to position and load the vehicle safely.
Are Keys Available?
A vehicle sold without keys can have locked steering, transmission or electronic parking brake considerations.
Is It Accident Damaged?
Tell us about known wheel, suspension, steering, body or structural damage that could affect loading and transportation.
Collection of Accident-Damaged & Salvage Vehicles
Some auction purchases have significant accident or mechanical damage. The condition of the vehicle must be considered before transportation can be confirmed.
Wheel Damage
Bent, broken, locked or missing wheels can significantly affect how a vehicle needs to be loaded.
Suspension Damage
Collapsed or damaged suspension can reduce ground clearance and make vehicle movement more difficult.
Steering Damage
A vehicle that cannot steer normally may require additional consideration before loading.
Body Damage
Loose or severely damaged body panels should be identified before transportation is arranged.
Fluid Leaks
Known significant fluid leaks should be disclosed when requesting collection so the situation can be assessed.
Vehicle Stability
Severe structural, suspension or wheel damage can affect whether a vehicle can be safely handled using the available equipment.
Not Every Severely Damaged Vehicle Can Be Collected Without Assessment
The term "salvage vehicle" can cover everything from relatively minor damage to vehicles with severe structural, suspension or wheel damage.
Do not assume that every vehicle can automatically be loaded and transported. Suitability depends on the individual vehicle, its condition, accessibility and the equipment required.
Providing accurate information before collection helps prevent problems when the transport vehicle arrives.
Does Your Copart Vehicle Have No Keys?
Some auction vehicles are sold without keys. This does not always prevent transportation, but it can create additional loading challenges.
Without a working key, the steering may remain locked, the transmission may be stuck in Park or an electronic parking brake may remain engaged.
Tell us before collection if your vehicle has no keys so the requirements can be assessed in advance.
For more information, visit our no-key vehicle recovery page.
No-Key Considerations
- Locked steering
- Transmission in Park
- Electronic parking brake
- Restricted wheel movement
- Vehicle access
- Additional loading requirements
Non-Running Copart Vehicle Transport
If your purchased vehicle does not start or drive, provide full details about its condition when requesting collection.
A non-running vehicle may still roll and steer normally, while another vehicle may have locked wheels, damaged suspension or other issues that make loading more complex.
Visit our non-runner vehicle recovery page for more information about transporting vehicles that cannot be driven normally.
Tell Us Whether It
- Starts
- Drives
- Rolls freely
- Steers normally
- Has working brakes
- Has locked wheels
- Has damaged or missing wheels
Transporting a Collision-Damaged Auction Vehicle
Accident damage can affect much more than the vehicle's bodywork. Damage to steering, suspension, wheels or structural components may change the way a vehicle needs to be handled and loaded.
Ground clearance and vehicle stability can also be affected by collision damage.
If your purchase has significant accident damage, provide accurate details and photographs where possible.
You can also see our accident and crash recovery page for related information.
Damage That May Affect Loading
- Suspension damage
- Steering damage
- Wheel damage
- Missing wheels
- Reduced ground clearance
- Structural damage
- Loose components
- Vehicle instability

Purchased a Vehicle Further Away?
Auction purchases are not always located close to the buyer. If your vehicle needs to travel a significant distance from its collection location to your home, garage or business, the complete journey will be considered when preparing your quote.
Longer-distance transport is priced individually based on the collection point, destination, vehicle type, condition and loading requirements.
Visit our long-distance vehicle transport page for more information.
Quote Considerations
- Collection location
- Delivery destination
- Total journey distance
- Vehicle type
