How to Register and Start Bidding on Universal Auctions in Minutes

If you’ve ever thought online car auctions were just for motor traders, think again. At Universal Auctions, anyone can register, browse, and bid — all from the comfort of home. Whether you’re after your first car, a family runaround, or a reliable commercial vehicle, getting started is quick, simple, and open to all.

Step 1: Create Your Account
Click on the “View Latest Stock’ button  in the top right corner. Choose any auction and click on the “View Catalogue” button. Finally click on “Register to Bid”  You’ll just need a few basic details — name, email address, and phone number — to get set up. Once your account is verified, you're ready to go.

Step 2: Browse the Listings
Use the filters to narrow down your search by vehicle type, make, model, mileage, or fuel type. Each listing includes detailed descriptions, clear photographs, MOT history, and any known information about the vehicle’s condition.

Step 3: Do Your Homework
Before placing a bid, take a few minutes to check the vehicle history, compare market prices, and review any delivery costs. Universal Auctions is fully transparent, with no hidden fees and upfront delivery quotes available on request.

Step 4: Place Your Bid
Ready to go? Simply enter your bid amount — or use the proxy bidding option to let the system bid automatically on your behalf up to your set limit. No pressure, no rushing, and no need to sit and watch the auction unfold.

Step 5: Win, Pay, and Arrange Delivery
If you’re the highest bidder, you’ll receive clear instructions on how to make payment and arrange delivery. Our team is on hand to help every step of the way.

That’s it — you’re in the driving seat.
