All vehicle collections from a Manheim site are appointment only.

We responded swiftly to the Government’s ‘lockdown’ instruction on 23rd March. Our physical locations, including our auction halls and offices closed by the end of 24th March.

The health, safety and well-being of our employees, customers and partners remains our top priority. We appreciate that this is an unsettling time, but we hope you understand the actions we are taking, and will continue to take, are highly necessary and responsible courses of action.
