Digital Wholesale Pickup Workflow
OPENLANE is a digital wholesale marketplace, so a purchased vehicle may be released from a seller location rather than a traditional auction gate. The transport plan should use the seller's actual pickup location, the release/gate information issued for the sale, and the exact person or process responsible for handing over the keys.
Get a Current QuoteOPENLANE's seller guidance instructs sellers to release the vehicle to the buyer or transport partner after verifying the gate code provided with the sale. Confirm the exact seller location and pickup contact because the vehicle may not be sitting at a traditional auction facility.
The release code is part of the transaction's security process. The buyer should ensure the authorized pickup party has the information needed for the seller to verify the handoff, while avoiding public sharing of that code. The seller should also have the keys accessible at pickup.
OPENLANE currently offers integrated transportation brokerage services powered by CarsArrive Network, Inc. Customers who use that option should follow OPENLANE's transportation terms. If transportation is arranged separately, the independent transporter still needs to comply with the seller's current release and pickup instructions.
Digital wholesale purchases should still be described to the transporter by their actual loading condition. Confirm whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers and brakes, and disclose low clearance, collision damage, oversized dimensions or restricted seller access before carrier assignment.
