If you need help with your baggage, just let us know.

Lost Baggage

We’ll do what we can to help reunite you with your stuff if you’ve lost it. However, Greyhound expressly disclaims liability for any lost or damaged baggage. See our Complete Terms and Conditions to find out more.

If you’ve lost your bag and would like us to try and help locate it, complete a lost and found request form.

If we find your baggage, we can send it back to you as long as you live within the Contiguous United States (not including Alaska or Hawaii). If you live outside the Contiguous United States, you’ll need to make your own arrangements for your baggage to be shipped to you.
