Is a repo person allowed to drive your vehicle off of private property?

No, a repossession agent (repo person) is not generally allowed to drive your vehicle off of private property without the permission of the property owner. Repossession agents are authorized to repossess a vehicle if the borrower has defaulted on a loan agreement, but they must do so in a lawful manner and in accordance with state laws and regulations.

Driving a vehicle off of private property without permission could constitute trespass or theft, and the repossession agent could be held liable for any damages or legal consequences that result from their actions. Typically, repossession agents will need to get permission from the property owner or law enforcement before they can repossess a vehicle from private property.
