Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about LuggageTribe services, features, and support.

What is LuggageTribe?

LuggageTribe is a global platform and mobile app that connects travelers, senders, and renters to move things securely around the world. It helps travelers earn from unused luggage space, lets senders deliver items safely through verified travelers, and offers smart luggage rentals with built-in tracking.

How do I create an account?

Visit www.luggagetribe.com or download our app. Sign up using your email address or verified phone number. You'll receive a one-time code (via Twilio) to confirm your account.

Is my personal information secure?

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption, secure payments (Stripe/PayPal), and verified identity systems to protect your data. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details.

Can I use LuggageTribe internationally?

Yes! LuggageTribe connects travelers and senders worldwide. However, availability of some features (like insurance or local pickup hubs) may vary by country.

What devices are compatible with LuggageTribe?

You can access LuggageTribe via our web platform or the mobile app for both iOS and Android.

How do I log my luggage details?

Simply upload photos, enter dimensions and weight, and add notes (like fragile or valuable). The app automatically generates a QR tag and tracking ID.

Can I track my luggage in real time?

Yes. LuggageTribe supports Bluetooth, GPS, and cellular trackers (like Apple AirTag or Pebblebee Found LTE) to provide real-time tracking updates through the app.

What happens if my luggage is lost or delayed?

The app helps you report lost or delayed luggage instantly. If you purchased LuggageTribe insurance, we'll help you file a claim and coordinate with the airline or traveler.

How accurate is the baggage fee calculator?

Our calculator uses regularly updated airline data. Still, because airline fees can change without notice, we recommend verifying directly with your carrier before travel.

Can I store information about multiple trips?

Yes, you can manage and track past, current, and future trips all in one dashboard.

How do I offer my extra luggage space?

In your profile, select "Offer Luggage Space," enter your route, available weight and volume, and set your rate. LuggageTribe will match you with verified senders automatically.

How do I find someone offering luggage space?

Senders can browse traveler listings filtered by destination, travel date, or available space. Once a match is made, both parties can chat securely in-app.

How are payments handled?

LuggageTribe uses a secure escrow system. The sender's payment is held until the traveler confirms successful delivery, ensuring trust for both sides.

How do I ensure my items are safe?

Every traveler and sender is ID-verified, and every package is inspected and sealed at a Tribe Hub before travel. You can also request insurance coverage for added protection.

What items are prohibited?

Prohibited items include illegal drugs, weapons, cash, live animals, perishables, or any goods banned by airline or customs regulations. Check our "Prohibited Items List" before sending.

How do I contact customer support?

Reach us directly in the app (Live Chat) or by email at support@luggagetribe.com. Our team is available 24/7.

What should I do if I find a bug or technical issue?

Please report it through the "Help & Feedback" section with screenshots. Our tech team will review it promptly.

I'm having trouble with payment processing. What should I do?

Contact our support team with your transaction ID. We'll help you resolve it as quickly as possible.

Where can I find the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy?

Both documents are available on our website footer and inside the app under Settings → Legal Documents.

Who is responsible for items during the trip?

Responsibility is shared. Travelers agree to handle items with care, and senders must provide truthful descriptions. LuggageTribe facilitates secure verification, tracking, and accountability.

How is pricing determined for carrying items?

Travelers set their own rates, while LuggageTribe suggests recommended pricing based on distance, weight, and delivery timeline.

What happens if an item is damaged during transport?

If insured through LuggageTribe, claims can be filed directly in-app. For uninsured items, both parties are encouraged to resolve the issue with assistance from our support team.

Still have questions?
