Copart Fee Structure Reference
Copart charges multiple fees on top of the winning bid price. Understanding the full fee structure is critical — buyers who only look at the bid price often discover their total cost is 20–40% higher than expected. This Copart calculator uses approximate fee schedules; always verify current fees on Copart’s official fee schedule for your state and membership level.

Copart collects sales tax based on your state’s requirements at the time of purchase. Some states exempt vehicles from sales tax at auction, while others collect it on the full purchase price. California, for example, charges sales tax on auction vehicle purchases. The tax amount depends on your state and where the vehicle is registered.
Copart charges a gate fee (typically $69–$79) when the vehicle is physically removed from the facility. This is separate from the buyer fee and applies whether you pick up yourself or use a transport company. Storage fees of approximately $20–$35 per day also accrue after a grace period (typically 1–3 business days after auction close).
Copart Premier membership costs approximately $199–$299/year depending on the state. If you buy 3+ vehicles per year, the fee savings on buyer fees typically exceed the annual cost. On a $4,000 vehicle, Premier saves approximately $100 in buyer fees vs Basic. Dealers who use Copart regularly almost always benefit from the annual membership.
