Can I Ship Personal Items Inside My Vehicle?
Yes. When shipping your vehicle with Go Auto Freight LLC, you may place a limited amount of personal belongings inside the vehicle. We generally allow up to 100 lbs of personal belongings at no additional charge in the trunk or cargo area.
Important Information About Personal Belongings
Personal belongings placed inside a vehicle are not covered by standard motor carrier cargo insurance. Go Auto Freight LLC and its transportation partners are responsible for transporting your vehicle safely, but personal property inside the vehicle is transported at the owner's risk.

How to Prepare Personal Items for Vehicle Shipping
At Go Auto Freight LLC, our goal is to make vehicle transportation simple, secure, and stress-free. Following these preparation rules helps ensure smooth driver loading and on-time transit.
Keep Items in the Trunk or Cargo Area
Whenever possible, place approved personal belongings securely inside the trunk or designated cargo area below the window line. Avoid leaving bags, boxes, or other belongings visible through the windows.
Secure Everything Properly
Loose items can shift during turns or braking, potentially scuffing or damaging the vehicle's interior. Use sturdy bags, boxes, or protective packing materials and ensure everything is tightly secured.
Avoid Overloading the Vehicle
Do not exceed the agreed 100 lbs personal-item limit. Excessive weight impacts gross carrier axle limits, creates suspension strain, and may result in carrier surcharges or inspection delays.
Keep the Driver's Area 100% Clear
Never place personal belongings on the driver's seat, steering wheel, dashboard, center console, or pedals. The driver must have full, unobstructed control when loading and positioning the car.
Remove Valuable or Fragile Items
Always keep electronics, laptops, keys, vital documentation, irreplaceable keepsakes, and delicate heirlooms in your personal possession rather than leaving them in the vehicle.
