Quick Start: How It Works

Campo Brokers can be understood in three stages and one complete journey that runs from creating your account to exporting the vehicle. This section gives you the bird's-eye view; each step has its own section with full detail.

The 3 stages

  1. Subscription + account (US$5/year membership). You create your account and, when you activate a plan, you pay the US$5 annual membership. See Registration.
  2. Plan activation (Verified Access). Choose Importer (refundable US$400 deposit, US$10,000 bid cap) or Dealer (US$800 deposit, US$20,000 cap), upload your documents, and once approved, you receive an assigned auction account. See Membership and Plans.
  3. Auction operation. You search, bid, and, if you win, follow the payment and logistics flow through to export.

Nota

You don't have to go through all ten steps. Auction accounts, towing, and the export warehouse are contracted separately: you use only the ones you actually need, and there is no mandatory bundle.

For example, if you already have a trusted workshop in the United States and want to send your vehicles straight there, you can. In that case you would use only the auction accounts: when you win a lot, the system will ask where to send the original title, you enter your workshop's address, and we ship it via FedEx as soon as it reaches our office. Steps 9 and 10 simply never appear in your flow.

What you can do without activating a plan

Even without an active plan, you can use the free and low-cost tools:

  • The calculators for auction fees, DR taxes, and towing (free).
  • Buying vehicle history reports.
  • Installing CampoBrokerBot (with a Premium option).

To bid and buy, you need to activate an Importer or Dealer plan.
