How does luggage storage work at Edinburgh Bus Station?
- Simple booking process: Using the Bounce app, you can quickly find luggage storage exactly where you need it. Then, just enter your specific requirements (time, number of bags), and you're almost done.
- Securely pay online: The next step is to complete your booking by paying online. With us, there's no need for cash or exact change as is usually the case with luggage storage lockers.
- Guaranteed space: Booking in advance, whether from home or the bus station, ensures your storage spot is reserved. You don't have to wander around the station looking for an available locker only to see that they're all occupied.
How does our luggage storage differ from traditional luggage lockers?
- Size isn't a problem: Unlike traditional luggage lockers, Bounce can accommodate pretty much any size of item. This includes large suitcases, sports equipment like golf clubs, and smaller things like shopping bags and backpacks.
- Flat rate for 24 hours: Bounce charges a flat rate per day, lockers generally don't. You'll know right at the time of booking how much your luggage storage is going to cost. No surprises.
- Added security: Since we partner with local shops and other businesses, whether it's a central location or one out of the way, that always have staff present. The businesses' opening hours tend to be between 9 AM and 8 PM, with some open later than that. Unlike a bus station locker, our luggage storage options have attendants for extra security.
