How it Works:

1)      Call Karen in the Marketing Department to request a room and secure a confirmation number. We bank rooms at the Hampton Inn, 401 Westin Oak Drive, Hammond, La 70403, 985-419-2188, at a corporate rate of $109.00 plus taxes. You will need to contact the Hampton Inn and provide credit card payment and contact information to finalize the room confirmation. We will accept receipts for other hotels but cannot secure reservations with other establishments.

2)      Attend the auction and before leaving for the day submit proof of hotel stay and air travel via full receipt showing name of traveler and dates of travel to the Marketing Department.

3)      Based on the criteria listed above, travel reimbursement will be in the form of a check available for pick up in the Marketing Department on the buyer’s first auction visit after sale in which expenses were incurred, i.e. travel to May 20 sale, receive check at next sale attended. All reimbursement checks will be made payable to the company that the buyer represents. The auction will not be responsible for any charges that result from a cancelled reservation or disputes between the traveler and the hotel.

 

These guidelines are meant to expedite travel arrangements and reimbursement to buyers that travel from long distances. Any amendments or additions to these guidelines can only be approved by the General Manager.

We appreciate your business and thank you for “going the extra mile” to attend Louisiana’s 1st Choice Auto Auction. We look forward to seeing you in the lanes!
