Answer 1

Greyhound Lines' Liability on Lost Luggage
The maximum liability to Greyhound is $250.00 for all baggage checked (not including items checked as overweight, oversized and or excess baggage) per adult ticket and $125.00 per child's ticket. Neither Greyhound nor other participating bus carriers are responsible for the loss of or damage to baggage in excess of the value allowances. Greyhound will only be responsible to the extent of the actual loss or damage sustained based on the actual baggage at the time and place of checking, and will NOT accept any liability for unchecked baggage.

To file a claim for loss or damage to baggage, please contact Baggage Claims & Service.

Answer 2

The maximum Greyhound is liable for (without insurance) is $250. Greyhound offers insurance for luggage items valued up to $1,000 per ticketed passenger. If you just filed your claim, give them time to track down your luggage. They have 90 days before they will pay a claim if the luggage isn't found.

Hopefully, they will be able to locate your luggage. I would recommend in the future, however, that if you have items of that much value, that you carry them on board with you. Whether you're traveling by train, plane or bus, valuable items should never be checked. If they're too big to carry on, then have them shipped.

Good luck, and I hope everything works out.

Answer 4

Holy Moley!! I wouldn't let 1000.00 out of my sight, let alone 6000.00. Sorry, but you are out of luck. Next time, mail your items Registered Mail to your destination or put them on the bus with you.
