ADESA Car Shipping Services

Shipping a car from an ADESA auction

ADESA auction sites sell wholesale vehicles to dealers and other approved buyers. When a unit is purchased, it must be picked up within the auction's release and storage rules. Titanic Auto Transport arranges a licensed carrier for that pickup and delivers to your lot, shop, or customer.

Give us the ADESA location, the vehicle details, and the delivery address. We return a route-specific quote and a realistic pickup window.

Information to have ready

• The auction location and the unit or lot number.
• Confirmation that the vehicle is paid and released.
• Year, make, model, and whether the vehicle runs and drives.
• Your delivery address and the date you need the car there.

Release, gate rules, and timing

Auction yards usually require a driver to check in and match the unit to a release before loading. Hours are limited and may differ between locations. We confirm the pickup window with the site and the driver together so the truck arrives when the gate is open and the paperwork is ready.

If your purchase has a pickup deadline, tell us when you request the quote. We can prioritize carriers already running routes near the auction.

Choosing open or enclosed transport

Most auction vehicles ship on open carriers, which are the standard and most affordable option. If the unit is a luxury, classic, or low-mileage vehicle you want shielded from weather, ask for an enclosed quote. Enclosed trucks carry fewer vehicles, so book earlier.

Non-running vehicles need a driver with a winch. Say so up front to avoid a failed pickup.

Condition records and delivery

The driver notes the vehicle's condition at pickup on the bill of lading, and you should compare it with the car at delivery before signing. Photos taken at the auction are useful if a question comes up later.
