Summary

Buyers, begin signing up for PayPal. Three IAA providers will be selling a large number of clear-title, fleet and off-lease vehicles this month. IAA Help Center will replace cservice@iaai.com, and features helpful support documents and articles. IAA Brand Ambassador, Rich Rebuilds, is making a splash as a unique rebuilder. He was recently featured in a Car and Driver article. An exciting Dream Rides sale is set for Sept. 14, featuring classic, exotic, muscle, and luxury vehicles.


1. PayPal Coming Soon

In a few short weeks, IAA will begin to accept PayPal as a payment method for registration, vehicle payments, transportation and fees. The decision to add PayPal as a payment method was driven by your input. Buyers asked for PayPal, and IAA is delivering. PayPal is easy to use, secure, and available to all buyers regardless of location. Buyers that don’t already have PayPal are encouraged to set up an account. PayPal provides several benefits, including more credit card options than IAA currently offers, the ability to pay directly from your bank account (not currently offered to the public through IAA's iPay), and financing options. Visit all the ways you can pay at IAA.


2. Providers to Sell Hundreds of Clear Title Vehicles 

Three IAA providers are selling a large number of clear-title, fleet and off-lease vehicles this month. IAA has hundreds of Volkswagen, Kia, Hyundai and Toyota fleet inventory from Element Fleet ManagementMerchants Fleet Management, and Westlake Financial Services. Vehicles are located at IAA branches throughout the US.
