Your vehicle's safety is our top concern. All shipments from Copart Minneapolis move under the carrier's cargo insurance, which covers the full transport journey.

Real-time GPS tracking keeps you informed of your shipment's progress, and our customer support team is available by phone throughout the delivery window.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. Sales run weekly on Thursday, and the days straight afterwards are the busiest for gate releases, so it pays to have a carrier booked before then. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is Copart Minneapolis from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Minneapolis 16 mi (24 min), St. Paul 20 mi (27 min), Rochester 99 mi (2 hr 4 min), Sioux Falls 251 mi (5 hr 2 min). Larger metros: Madison 278 mi (5 hr 15 min), Milwaukee 346 mi (6 hr 21 min), Omaha 395 mi (7 hr 16 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-2 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
