Buying a Car From an Auction? How to Arrange Vehicle Transport

Buying a vehicle from an auction can leave you with a second job: getting it home or to a workshop. Even when a vehicle is described as running, collection rules, roadworthiness or insurance can make transporter collection the practical option.

Get the collection details first

Confirm the auction or storage location, release procedure, collection hours and any reference needed by the driver. Check whether the vehicle has keys and whether it starts, rolls and steers.

Describe damage accurately

Photos and auction descriptions can help, but known wheel, suspension, steering or accident damage should be disclosed because it may change the loading requirements.

Use the actual destination

Pricing is clearer when the real collection and delivery points are used. Onagone assesses the submitted route rather than assuming every town-to-town journey has the same mileage.
