Over 50,000 Vehicles Annually—A Dynamic Market on the Rise
Since its establishment in 2016, Copart Germany has emerged as an important player in Central Europe’s automotive market. As part of Copart Inc., the world’s leading online vehicle auction platform, the company has steadily grown into a prominent position. With over 50,000 vehicles marketed annually, Copart Germany contributes to a market that sees approximately three million new vehicle registrations and 500,000 ownership transfers every month.
Efficiency and Transparency in Vehicle Trading
Copart Germany’s mission has been to make vehicle trading more efficient and transparent. Its digital auction platform has revolutionized the vehicle trading process. Dealers, fleet operators and private individuals alike benefit from fast processing, fair prices, and a wide selection of vehicles.
Serving Dealers, Fleet and Rental Operators
Copart Germany is continuously expanding its importance as a platform for vehicle trading. Both large fleet operators and specialized dealers increasingly rely on the company’s services. In recent months, numerous new dealers, rental companies and fleet operators have joined the platform.
A key factor in this development is the success of CashforCars, a Copart brand specializing in purchasing damaged and old vehicles from consumers. With streamlined processes and competitive prices, it provides an efficient solution for the remarketing of damaged cars, particularly in the compact vehicle segment. This approach benefits all involved parties by facilitating the resale process.
Market Opportunities and Strategic Growth
Kai Siersleben, Managing Director of Copart Germany, emphasizes the potential of the German market:
”Germany’s automotive market holds significant opportunities. Despite current challenges, international demand for German vehicles remains high. Through our infrastructure and network, we aim to connect more buyers worldwide to a broad vehicle portfolio while continuously expanding our offerings. The development of CashforCars and our CDS (Copart Dealer Service) supports our goal of increasing vehicle volumes. Positive feedback from fleet and rental operators further validates our approach.“

Collaboration with leading insurance companies ensures a steady flow of vehicles, including total losses. This aspect, often overlooked, contributes to greater efficiency and transparency within the vehicle market—an area where Copart has played a significant role all over the world.
