Several Cars From One Auction? Get Them Home on One Order

If you buy several cars at one sale, send them to your transport company together as one order. Grouping units that are leaving the same auction for the same store keeps things simple, and you get one point of contact for the whole order instead of tracking each car separately.

A good auction day can leave four or five units sitting on the same lot. Booking them one at a time means separate calls, separate updates and more chances for one car to fall through the cracks while the others come home.

Why send them as one order?

• One conversation. One call or message covers every unit, and one person keeps you posted on all of them.
• Same pickup, same drop-off. Cars leaving the same lot for the same store are easier to plan together.
• Less time on the auction lot. Cars that sit after the sale can start picking up storage charges, and every day on the lot is a day they are not on yours.
• Nothing gets forgotten. A single order with every VIN on it is easy to check off when the cars arrive.

What to have ready for each car

• Auction or pickup location. The full address and the lane, lot or stock number for each unit.
• The VIN. Plus year, make and model.
• The release. A gate pass or release for every car. Carriers cannot load a unit the auction has not released. See auction gate passes and releases.
• Condition. Whether each car runs, and anything the condition report flagged.
• Delivery address. Your lot, your reconditioning shop or wherever each car needs to land.

If some releases are still pending, send the order anyway and say which ones. The carrier can be lined up so those cars move once they clear.

What if the cars go to different places?

That still works on one order. Note the delivery address for each VIN, whether some go to the store and some to a body shop, or units are split between two rooftops. You keep one point of contact either way.

What about a mix of units?

Most auction units ride on open carriers. If one of the buys is an exotic or high-value car, say so and it can ride enclosed while the rest go open. Our guide to how many cars fit on a car hauler explains the trailer types, and shipping multiple cars covers multi-unit moves in general.

Frequently asked questions

Can several cars from one auction ship on one order?

Yes. Send all the units together and they are coordinated as one order with one point of contact.

What do I need for each car?

The auction address and lane or lot number, the VIN, the release or gate pass, whether the car runs, and the delivery address.

What if some releases are still pending?

Send the order anyway and say which cars are pending. The carrier can be lined up so those units move once they are released.

Can cars from the same sale go to different addresses?

Yes. Give the delivery address for each VIN and they still travel on one order with one point of contact.

Can one car in the group ride enclosed?

Yes. Most auction units ride open, but an exotic or high-value purchase can go enclosed while the rest ride open.
