Can you hide a car from repo man in Florida?

In Florida, it is illegal to hide a car from a repossession agent. If the repossession agent has a valid court order, they have the right to take the car, regardless of where it is located. If the car is parked on private property, the repossession agent must first obtain permission from the property owner before taking it.

Here are some tips to avoid having your car repossessed in Florida:

- Make sure you make your car payments on time and in full.

- If you are struggling to make your payments, contact your lender as soon as possible to discuss options for modifying your loan.

- Do not hide your car from the repossession agent. If they cannot find your car, they will likely get a court order to search your property.

- If the repossession agent does take your car, you have the right to redeem it by paying the outstanding debt plus any repossession fees.
