Ship or Sell guide

Can I Leave Personal Items in My Car When Shipping?

For used-unit RoRo shipping, treat the vehicle as cargo — not as an extra moving box.

Can I leave a box in the trunk?

The public used-unit guidance checked for this report says personal effects such as boxes, crates, suitcases and luggage are not allowed in the cabin, trunk or other storage spaces.

What can normally stay?

Standard equipment belonging to the vehicle can remain when it is safely secured. Carrier-specific rules still control the actual shipment.

Why remove documents too?

Keep titles, registrations, IDs and other sensitive paperwork with you or in the secure document workflow instead of leaving them inside the vehicle.

Important: Carrier, terminal, registration-office and customs requirements can change. Use this as preparation guidance and verify the actual booked shipment.
