I just discovered a new service called Bounce that has a luggage storage network around the world. They work with local businesses that are willing to hold your bags for a set period of time. The business hours vary, but you can check that information on the website and hopefully find a place in a convenient location.
While I haven’t personally tried this service yet, I plugged in a hypothetical situation on their website in which I stored a checked bag and a piece of hand luggage in the financial district of Manhattan, New York City for about 8 hours one day. The total cost was just over $15.
I didn’t know this existed and thought some of you might find it useful. I’m sure it will come in handy for me sometime. I can imagine needing it at some point.
If you try it out, please come back and comment to report about your experience!
2025 Update: Christopher Elliott recently reported on a consumer problem with this service. Read it and decide for yourself if you want to use Bounce.
