Start with accurate vehicle data

Before bidding, verify the Lot or Stock number, VIN, auction branch, title information, listed damage, run condition and important notes. These details are the foundation of an accurate cost calculation.

Calculate the full cost before bidding

Do not rely on the vehicle bid alone. Add auction fees, U.S. inland transport from the vehicle location to the loading point, and ocean shipping to the selected destination.

Verify the auction location

Auction branch names can be similar across different cities or states. Use the correct branch, state and ZIP whenever available because a wrong location can produce a wrong inland transport rate.

Choose the shipping route

After inland transport, choose the U.S. loading port, destination, arrival port and the applicable vehicle or loading option. Compare available routes before finalizing the calculation.

Keep the calculation

Generate a PDF from the calculator to keep the vehicle, route and cost details as a reference before making the purchase decision.
