IAA Car Shipping

Shipping a car from an IAA auction

IAA sells insurance and salvage vehicles, so many lots are damaged and some do not run. Once you have won and paid for a vehicle, it has to leave the branch within the pickup window, and storage charges can follow if it stays. Titanic Auto Transport arranges a licensed carrier to collect it and deliver to your home, shop, or yard.

Send us the IAA branch, the stock or lot number, the vehicle details, and where it is going. We quote the route and confirm a pickup date.

What to have ready for pickup

• Proof of payment and the release or gate pass your account provides.
• The branch location and the stock or lot number.
• The name of the driver or carrier picking up the vehicle.
• A contact number for questions about the release.

Non-running and damaged vehicles

Tell us exactly what condition the vehicle is in. A car with flat tires, collision damage, missing keys, or a seized drivetrain needs a carrier with a winch and sometimes different loading equipment. Quoting a non-runner as a runner is the most common reason an auction pickup fails.

Use the photos from the listing to note damage that sticks out or affects ground clearance, and mention any modifications. A salvage title does not stop us from shipping a vehicle, but keep your title paperwork in order.

Avoiding storage fees

Check the free storage period shown for your lot, since it depends on the branch and vehicle. Give us your deadline when you request pricing and we will prioritize a carrier that can reach the branch in time. Branch hours are limited, so we confirm the pickup window with the branch and the driver.

Open or enclosed

Most IAA vehicles ship open, which is the standard and most affordable choice. Choose enclosed only if the vehicle's finish and interior need full protection, such as a clean-title exotic or classic.
