Buyer Fee

Use the Copart Fee Calculator for U.S. licensed-member standard vehicles.
Fixed Fees
The official page checked on July 21, 2026 lists:
- $79 gate fee,

Pre-bid and live-bid fees use different price tiers. A live bid generally carries a higher fee in the listed schedule.
Optional Fees
Title delivery, third-party finance, late payment, storage, relist, broker, transport, tax, and location-specific costs may apply.
Scope Matters
Standard and heavy vehicles have different schedules. Clean and non-clean title groups differ. International and broker purchases may involve additional charges.
