Insurance Auto Auctions (IAAI)
The Australian arm of Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA) — a heavily salvage-focused, US-style auto auction.
What you'll find on IAAI
IAAI Australia (Insurance Auto Auctions, or IAA) runs almost entirely insurance-recovery salvage. Statutory and repairable write-offs dominate; non-salvage is rare. Damage spans minor hail to severe collision — classic auto-auction salvage stock.
How the auction runs
Live auctioneer-driven sales on a fixed weekly calendar by branch (yard). AuctionNow web-based bidding mirrors the in-yard live sale; lots roll one after another on the gavel.
Getting started as a buyer
IAAI Australia account required. Bidding deposits depend on the lot category. The US-style "buyer's broker" intermediary is uncommon in Australia — most retail buyers transact directly.

Buyer fees follow a tiered schedule by hammer price, plus a sale-specific environmental and processing fee. See the buyer fees guide for the current bracket table.

Pay the balance in full after the sale, then collect from the branch yard once the funds clear. IAAI gives a few business days of free storage before a per-branch daily fee applies — the rate isn't published online, so confirm it with the branch. Bring photo ID, and send a signed authority naming your transporter if someone is collecting on your behalf.

Frequently asked questions
How can I see what a vehicle sold for at an IAAI auction? expand_more
IAAI lots resolve to a hammer price as the auctioneer's gavel falls. Auction Intel captures the final sold price the same minute and surfaces it on a free account, alongside comparable sales from Pickles, Manheim, Grays, and Slattery.
Does IAAI sell anything other than salvage? expand_more
In Australia, IAAI is almost exclusively a salvage auction. Statutory write-offs, repairable write-offs, and inspection-passed repairables make up the vast majority of every sale catalogue.
Where does IAAI hold its auctions? expand_more
Branch yards across Australia run a fixed weekly sale calendar. Each branch publishes its own catalogue 2-7 days ahead of the sale date.
Can I inspect IAAI vehicles before bidding? expand_more
Yes — branch yards open for inspection during the published viewing window before each sale. Remote bidders rely on the listing's photo set and condition notes.
