How it works

Three steps, no license required

  1. 1

    Find your lot

    12 million Copart and IAAI lots. Photos, damage reports, odometer readings and what comparable cars actually sold for — all open, no account needed.

  2. 2

    Set your maximum

    Tell us the most you will pay. You see the all-in number — fees, broker, transport — before you commit to anything.

  3. 3

    We bid for you

    A licensed broker places your bid on the block. You never pay more than your maximum, and often less.

Two ways in

A deposit doesn't buy permission. It skips the phone call

Anyone can submit a bid request, guests included. The deposit only decides whether we need to talk first.

With a deposit

Bid without the call

Funds are on file, so there is nothing to confirm. Your request goes straight to the block.

  • Working the moment you submit
  • No cap on your bid amount
  • Multiple lots in play at once

Target: minutes from request to bid

No deposit

We call first

We confirm the amount with you and sort out how you'd like to fund the deposit.

  • Request accepted either way
  • One call to confirm the number
  • Capped at $5,000 per bid

Target: one call, then the bid

All-in cost

What you'll actually pay

The bid is never the whole number. Auction fees and transport are where budgets break — here they are up front.

Estimate for a standard passenger vehicle shipped within the continental US. Auction fees follow Copart's published schedule; transport varies by distance from the yard. Your lot page shows the exact figure once you pick a car.

For dealers

An account, a deposit, and several lots at once

If you buy regularly, a deposit turns every request into a single action. No confirmation call before each lot.

Who we are

DayDrive LLC — a licensed Copart and IAAI dealer

Most states require a dealer license to buy at salvage auction. We stay in the transaction exactly where the license is needed — at the moment the bid is placed — and nowhere else.

Questions

What people ask first

Why do I need you at all?

Copart and IAAI restrict most inventory to licensed dealers, and in many states a private buyer cannot bid at all. We hold the license and bid on your behalf. Everything before and after that — choosing the car, deciding your number, taking delivery — is yours.

What if I win and change my mind?

The auction charges a relist fee for an unpaid lot, and it lands on the dealer of record, which is us. That is why larger bids need a deposit: it covers that exposure. Walk away and the deposit goes toward those fees. The terms spell it out.

What do you charge?

Our broker fee is included in the all-in figure you see before you submit. Nothing is added after you win — the number in the calculator is the number you pay.

How fast does my bid get placed?

With a deposit on file, no call is needed and it goes straight through. Without one we call to confirm first. Requests are queued by time remaining, so lots closing soonest are handled first.

Can I inspect the car first?

In-person inspection at the yard isn't always possible, and never on short notice. You do get the full auction photo set, the damage and title report, a Carfax, and sale prices for comparable cars — enough to price the risk honestly.

Do you bid automatically?

No. A person places every bid from our dealer account. Your request is an instruction to bid up to a specific maximum, not an automated trading system.
