How the Copart Shipping Calculator Works

Our Copart shipping calculator helps estimate the full cost of moving a vehicle from a Copart auction yard to a US export port for international shipping — including inland towing and ocean freight.

How Estimates Are Calculated

  • Select the auction yard where the vehicle is located.
  • The calculator automatically identifies the nearest port to the selected auction yard.
  • Specify whether the vehicle is a standard vehicle or an oversized vehicle.
  • The calculator determines the driving distance between the auction location and port.
  • Distance based transportation rates are applied to generate an estimated towing cost.
  • Oversized vehicles typically incur higher transportation costs than standard vehicles.

Copart International Vehicle Shipping

After your Copart vehicle arrives at the export port, choose an ocean shipping method. The Copart shipping calculator supports both RORO and container shipping estimates to your destination country.

RORO Shipping

Roll On Roll Off shipping allows vehicles to be driven directly onto the vessel and secured for transport. Once the ship reaches its destination, the vehicle is driven off the vessel.

  • ✓ Lower transportation costs
  • ✓ Faster loading process
  • ✓ Ideal for operational vehicles
  • ✓ Available at many international ports
  • ✓ Common choice for standard vehicles

Container Shipping

Container shipping places the vehicle inside a sealed shipping container before transport. This option provides additional protection and flexibility for a wider range of vehicles.

  • ✓ Additional protection during transit
  • ✓ Suitable for high value vehicles
  • ✓ Can accommodate non running vehicles
  • ✓ Allows shipping parts with the vehicle
  • ✓ Reduced exposure to weather conditions
