We present a recent definition of symmetry generating vector fields on manifolds equipped with a first-order reductive Cartan geometry. We apply this definition to a number of spacetime geometries used in gravity theories and show that it agrees with the usual notions of symmetry of affine, Riemann-Cartan, Riemannian, Weizenb\"ock and Finsler spacetimes.
