Transport Providers do not intentionally mishandle your luggage and personal effects but with millions of pieces of luggage movements each year, this unfortunately, does happen.
LuggageTracker.com aims to reunite registered customers with their misplaced, mishandled luggage and personal effects.
LuggageTracker.com gives Transport Providers the opportunity to contact their customers when they have luggage and cannot identify the owner by the usual means.
Transport Providers and other related businesses must make an application and pay a fee for your tag information. Both the Transport Provider and the registered customer will be advised at the same time by LuggageTracker.com of any inquiry made on a registered tag(s).
LuggageTracker.com protects your information, as per our Privacy Policy, available on our site.
