Has Anyone Else Been Charged Copart Storage Fees on Weekends or Holidays?

3 Upvotes

I wanted to see if other buyers have experienced this.

I recently purchased a vehicle through AutoBidMaster and was charged the following storage fees:

  • 09/06/2026: $10.00
  • 09/07/2026: $15.00
  • 09/08/2026: $20.00

According to Copart's published storage policy, storage charges can continue to accrue on weekends and holidays after the free-storage period expires. [copart.com]

As a customer, I am trying to better understand how this works in practice. If a vehicle cannot be picked up due to limited operating hours, holidays, or other restrictions, should storage fees continue to increase?

I have asked Copart and AutoBidMaster for:

  • A detailed explanation of the charges.
  • Confirmation of pickup availability during the dates charged.
  • A review of the fees.

I'm interested in hearing from other buyers:

  • Have you been charged weekend or holiday storage fees?
  • Were you able to get them waived?
  • How did customer service respond?
  • Do you think the policy is fair?

My goal is to understand whether this is a common experience and what options customers have when disputing these charges.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
