Buying or selling a vehicle through an auction can be exciting, but figuring out how to transport that vehicle can be a hassle. Auto Transport Professionals (ATP) specializes in providing reliable and efficient auction vehicle transport services, helping both buyers and sellers move cars from auction sites to their destinations—whether it’s a dealership, private buyer, or business location. We handle the logistics, so you don’t have to, ensuring your auction vehicle arrives safely and on time.

Why Choose ATP for Auction Auto Transport?

Secure Shipping for Auction Purchases

Won a car at auction but can’t pick it up yourself? We’ve got it covered. Whether you’ve purchased a single car or a whole lot, ATP’s vehicle shipping services for auction buyers ensure your newly purchased vehicle gets to you safely. We work with auction houses across the country and can transport vehicles to any state, so you don’t have to worry about how to get the car home yourself.

Convenient Transport for Auction Sellers

If you’re selling vehicles through an auction, whether as a dealer or individual, ATP can handle the vehicle transport from your location to the auction site. We coordinate pickup from dealerships, private sellers, or storage lots and ensure the vehicle arrives at the auction house on time for the sale. Our door-to-door transport option makes the process simple and efficient, so you can focus on your business while we handle the logistics.

Auction Shipping Options

• Open Carrier Auto Transport: This is the most affordable and common option for auction vehicle shipping. Cars are transported on an open trailer with other vehicles, making it an ideal solution for bulk transport or standard vehicles. Open carrier shipping is widely used for moving auction cars across long distances and ensures timely, cost-effective delivery.
• Enclosed Auto Transport: For luxury, classic, or high-end vehicles bought or sold at auction, enclosed car shipping offers added protection from weather, road debris, and other potential hazards. This is the preferred option for valuable cars that need extra care in transit.

Navigating Auction Vehicle Transport Logistics

Transporting auction vehicles presents unique challenges, from coordinating pickup times with auction houses to ensuring vehicles arrive safely. Carriers are typically 75 feet long and must adhere to an 80,000-pound weight limit, which limits access to certain roads, bridges, and auction site facilities. At ATP, we manage these logistics to ensure smooth transport, avoiding delays or complications. Whether the auction is at a major site or a smaller, more remote location, we have the expertise to handle the delivery process efficiently.
