From experience, yes, you do have the right to get your belongings out of the car. You must first contact the repossession company and find out where they are holding your car.
Second, you must bring a photo ID and in most cases, money for a fee that they charge.
Third, they will have you sign a paper that you obtained your belongings and send you on your way. You must do this before they auction your car off. If you don't, your things are gone forever!
