What does Yard mean?

The auction location where the car is stored and sold.

What it means

The yard is the physical site where the car is kept: Copart has yards across the US and Canada, named by city and state. The yard determines towing distance to the port and some local rules.

What it means for a buyer

Towing from the yard to the port can cost more than you expect, especially from inland yards. Check the yard location before you bid, and remember to pick up the car in time to avoid storage fees.
