Picking Up Vehicle
Picking Up Vehicle
When can I pick up a vehicle I won?
You can pick up the vehicle or arrange for shipping as soon as you receive our email confirming that the car is ready for pick-up. This is part of the pick-up notification and indicates the vehicle's pick-up readiness.
Before receiving this notice, you must sign the bill of sale and other sales documents (online in My Account by e-sign). Typically, you will receive a pick-up notification the same day payment is applied and processed and the documents are signed. Once confirmed, you can proceed with the auction vehicle retrieval and begin the pick-up process.
How long do I have to pick up the vehicle?
The vehicle must be picked up within 3 business days including the sale date. After that, a minimum fee of $50 per day in storage fees will be charged. If the auction facility charges a rate higher than $50 per day, the higher rate will be charged instead. This is by the auction rules and pick-up schedule.
For example, the vehicle must be picked up no later than Wednesday if the sale is on Monday. Storage fees would begin Thursday, following the pick-up time limit and pick-up deadline.
What is required before I can pick up the vehicle?
To pick up your vehicle, you must have paid your invoice in full and have a zero balance with Salvagebid. This is one of the pick-up requirements you need to meet.
In addition, you will need to sign the bill of sale and other sales documents (online in My Account by e-sign). Pick-up confirmation will be sent once all documents are signed. Salvagebid will email you pick-up instructions, including the yard's address, hours, and pick-up authorization.
Can I drive a salvage vehicle home?
No. A salvage vehicle cannot be legally driven on the road until it has been reconstructed. This is because of the salvage vehicle laws and roadworthiness requirements. Road safety standards must be met before it can be driven legally.
