Bidding


There are many ways to bid on and buy vehicles with IAA. While many prefer to bid through our online bidding platform or app, others would rather bid by proxy or through a broker. The choice is yours.

Online


Thanks to technology these days, you can join an auction through IAA's online bidding platform to participate before and during a live auction.

  • Click through vehicle details and images as the vehicle is being auctioned.

  • Get access to auctions through any internet-connected device, from anywhere.

By Proxy


Before the auction, you can place a pre-bid on a vehicle. The highest pre-bid will be represented by proxy at the auction.

  • If you can't attend an auction onsite, securing a proxy bid gives you the opportunity to buy a vehicle anyway.

  • You can set pre-bids on any amount of vehicles up to an hour before the auction.

  • Track the status of your pre-bid.

Apps


Registered buyers can use the IAA Buyer app for mobile devices to place bids before and during the auction, providing our buyers with a convenient and flexible option.
