How luggage storage is different from train station lockers
- Many sizes accepted: Unlike traditional luggage lockers, we can handle pretty much any size of item you can throw at us. Try storing your golf clubs or super-sized suitcases in a small train station locker! With a Bounce baggage room, storing bulky items isn't an issue.
- Extra protection: Since we have staff at all our locations, you have someone taking care of your luggage. Additionally, we provide extra coverage for your items in case something happens.
- Local business partners: Instead of being located in a busy train station thoroughfare, our locations are actually local shops and other businesses. These spots generally stay open from 9 AM to 8 PM, but longer hours are available at some locations. Perhaps the best part? The staff can provide local recommendations for restaurants and attractions.
