Best Luggage Storage Apps for Your Next Trip

Most of us have been on a trip where you had to check out of the hotel at 11 am, but your flight doesn’t leave until later that night. Maybe you want to spend your remaining hours exploring the city instead of waiting at the airport all day. The only issue is that you probably have some luggage with you. Instead of dragging your things around all day, you can check out some luggage storage apps that let travelers leave their luggage in a safe space for an hourly or daily rate. Local businesses partner with these luggage services for another stream of income and to promote their business to travelers and tourists. Similar to services like Airbnb, travelers can review each location and give feedback on their overall experience. Luggage storage apps are relatively new, and you want to choose the service that is best for you depending on where you’re traveling in the world. In this blog post, we’ll be going over the best luggage storage services available for your trip!

All of the services listed below have user-friendly mobile apps that are available for both iPhone and Android. Also, every service makes sure to manually verify each partner's location before being listed on their site/app. So there’s no need to worry about the safety of your belongings. Although, if anything were to happen to your things while under their watch, all services listed have an insurance policy for each bag that you leave with them. Lastly, there is no size or weight limit for the bags you leave, so you won't have to worry about being turned away or charged extra. Wanting to leave your bags for multiple days? Any of the luggage storage services would be happy to keep your things for as long as you need them stored away. ​

• Bounce
  • Bounce is a well-established luggage storage app that does most of its business in Europe as well as The United States. Although they do have locations in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Australia, Central America, etc. If you do use Bounce outside of Europe or the United States, expect locations to be a little more sparse, so doing some research beforehand can be helpful. Bounce provides insurance for your bag, covering up to $10,000 in the event of theft or damage while it is under their care. Bounce is an excellent choice because even though the majority of their business is concentrated in Europe, they are still utilized all around the world.

• Luggage Hero 
  • Luggage Hero is the most reviewed luggage storage service and has locations in 150+ cities around the world. They also have a very user-friendly app that lets travelers book a spot for their luggage, either with an hourly or full-day rate. Luggage Hero is great if you’re staying in a major city, especially in The United States or Europe. Other continents that have Luggage Hero locations are pretty few and far between, unfortunately. The good news is that Luggage Hero ensures every bag up to €2500. Luggage Hero is a great option as well, but might not be the best option for you if you’re traveling outside of a major city. However, this is the only app that lets you do an hourly rate, so it's something to consider if you don't need storage for a full day.

Another thing that sets NannyBag apart from its competitors is that you can filter locations to be near train stations.

Radical Storage, just like the other services operate in major cities as well, but the list of locations they operate in are a little more extensive. However, in some of the more remote areas, it’s not uncommon to only find a few or even only one drop-off point. Each bag is covered with a guaranteed value of €3000. Radical Storage only has a flat daily rate and not hourly, so if you decide to pick up your bags after midnight, you will be charged for a second day. Although, at an average price of $5 a day, leaving your luggage for multiple days is pretty inexpensive!
