Why did I receive notice after RideSafely’s bidding ended that my bid is no longer the highest?
Even though a customer may hold the highest bid on our site, the Insurance Auction may have received and accepted a higher bid from another authorized party. Our affiliated dealer will only bid up to the customer`s maximum bid amount. That`s why we encourage our customers to submit their ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM bid they are willing to pay for the vehicle.
How does RideSafely’s process work for Copart, IAA, and other auctions?
Start by placing a bid on a vehicle before the given deadline. Initially, your bid will be marked as PENDING. To have your bid considered and forwarded, you must ACTIVATE it by depositing either $600 or 10% of the bid amount (whichever is greater). Read more
Why was the RideSafely bidding deadline extended?
At RideSafely.com, if a bid is placed within the final 5 minutes, we extend the bidding deadline by an additional 5 minutes. This ensures that customers have the opportunity to revise their bids, fostering a fair and competitive auction environment. As a service company, we aim to secure the highest possible bids to present at insurance auctions. We advise customers to submit their best bid early, enhancing the probability of the affiliated dealer securing the vehicle for them and reducing the need for last-minute bid escalations.
