What is Preliminary Bidding? Auction Types

Preliminary bidding means bidding before the actual auction takes place. This is where RideSafely.com will collect the highest bidder and then present that offer at the actual live auction.

Keep in mind, we will bid in the smallest possible increments up to your max bid (if necessary) to try to get the best price for you at the vehicle auction. Read more

I want to increase bidding limit, What steps are involved?

To increase bidding limit please follow the following steps:

  1. Go to any vehicle item on our auto auction website.
  2. Click on the bidding limit tab located above item location information.
  3. On the bidding limit tab, find a calculator and enter your MAXIMUM potential bid (your ability to bid up to that amount) – this is not your bid, just your ability to bid to that amount if necessary.
  4. Click calculate and the system will then prompt you for either credit card processing or wire transfer instructions.

Can I visit your facility and purchase a vehicle directly on-site?

Vehicles labeled as “inventory items” can be both inspected and purchased at our authorized affiliate dealers. Conversely, most other vehicles are housed at Insurance Auction locations and are not open for either inspection or direct purchase by the general public. It’s important to note that RideSafely operates as an online auto auction platform.

For further inquiries or assistance, feel free to reach out to us at (215) 289-0300.

Can you notify me when a particular item becomes available?

Unfortunately, with such a dynamic and continually evolving inventory of vehicles, we are unable to alert customers of a specifically requested vehicle’s availability. Instead, we do make it simple for you to filter vehicles by Listing Type, Region, Make, Model, Year, etc. By regularly checking the website, you are certain to find the vehicle you desire. Read more
