Frequently asked questions

• Can I leave my luggage at Waverley Station?

  Edinburgh Waverley Station offers official luggage storage. For travelers looking for more flexible or often more affordable options, you can find Bounce locations just outside the station in the Old Town and Princes Street areas can offer extended hours and shorter queues.

• Can you store luggage at Edinburgh Zoo?

  Edinburgh Zoo does not provide luggage storage or lockers for large items. You can find Bounce locations near Haymarket Station, which is one of the main public transit access points for reaching the zoo. This allows for a hands-free visit, especially useful if you’re arriving from elsewhere in the city or have already checked out of your accommodation.

• Is luggage storage helpful for walking the Royal Mile or Arthur’s Seat?

  Edinburgh’s Royal Mile is a steep, cobbled stretch connecting the Castle to Holyrood Palace, often crowded and hard to navigate with wheeled suitcases. And Arthur’s Seat, the city’s famous hilltop hike, is completely impractical with bags. Storing luggage near Waverley, Lawnmarket, or the Meadows frees you up to experience the city’s historical layers and landscapes without struggling uphill.

• Is luggage storage useful for exploring Edinburgh before hotel check-in?

  Many travelers arrive in Edinburgh early via train or flight, but check-in times at hotels and Airbnbs often start mid-afternoon. Since the city is built on steep hills with narrow staircases, especially in the Old Town, dragging bags around is exhausting and limits mobility. Bounce offers secure luggage storage near Waverley Station, the Royal Mile, and Grassmarket, so you can grab a coffee or visit the Castle without carrying your suitcase uphill.
