How to Temporarily Store Luggage When You Are Staying on Airbnb
When we all stayed in hotels, when we traveled, figuring out what to do with our luggage was easy. If you arrive in town long before you have to check in, or your flight is delayed past checkout time, any reasonable hotel offers luggage storage and will pick up your bag for you at the price of a messenger tip. When you stay on Airbnb and the like, things can get a little complicated.
Some Airbnb hosts can definitely be flexible when it comes to storing your luggage, but if someone booked right in front of or right after you, then you’re probably SUNNY.
Many major cities have storage space for bags that can be useful but are often located in only one area. Plus they are expensive. Over the past few years, several different apps and services have emerged that offer a different solution: storing your luggage in a store.
Stasher
Of all the luggage storage options, Stasher currently supports most cities. The service is available in over 100 cities around the world and offers hotel and local store storage while you travel around town. Cost from $ 6 per day.
Bounce
Bounce offers storage in places like hotels and cafes starting at $ 6 a day. Each location offers secure 24/7 storage, tamper-proof ID seals (so you know someone isn’t looking at your stuff), and some options also offer shipping so you can get that bag back to your Airbnb later. Bounce is available in most major cities.
LuggageHero
Luggage Hero is available exclusively online (not an app) and only in New York, London and Copenhagen. Prices are per bag and vary by city. In New York, for example, the service costs $ 1 an hour or $ 10 a day. Storing your bags also requires a one-time handling fee of $ 2 per bag.
Nanny
If you’re traveling in Europe, NannyBag can be a great place to start. The service is available in 15 countries including France, UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Ireland, Germany, Czech Republic, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Finland and Luxembourg. It is also available in New York. Cost from $ 6 per day. The service also offers insurance for luggage left behind with the service.
