Having long hours between connecting flights or arrive hours prior to check-in in your hotel, is surely a hassle! Plus, carrying your luggage around NYC is certainly a challenge, but LuggageHero is the perfect solution to all your problems!
Having long wait hours between flights during a trip is certainly annoying, but having to carry your luggage with you everywhere go is even worse, right?
Plus, the best way to commute in New York City is on the subway, but these massive stairs are a challenge on their own…imagine with your heavy bags.
So, we have the perfect, safe and convenient solution for all your problems: LuggageHero! And the name says it all!
Jannik Lawaetz founded the company in Copenhagen, back in 2016. From there, he quickly expanded in 2017 to London and, lucky us, to New York City!
The idea was to use local stores, pubs, coffee shops, dry cleaners and even hotels as a temporary storage place for people with long connecting flights or even for those who have arrived earlier than the check-in time or were “kicked out” of the hotel long before the flight home.
So, how it works? Easy!
- Check in when arriving at the shop
- Attach security seal that is provided for free, found in the shop, through the zippers of your bag
- Check-out upon pick-up
And voilá! You’re ready to adventure yourself for a few hours in our beautiful concrete jungle!

“I founded LuggageHero as I got tired of not having enough convenient places to store my luggage. As I am a frequent traveler, I couldn’t believe that anyone had not solved a problem so obvious to many people.
I decided to create a concept that was simple to use, trustworthy and where you would always only pay for the hours you spend.” ~ Jannik Lawaetz, Creator & CEO
Everything is stored far from any public access in safe locations, that are also inspected by the team at Luggage Hero. So, don’t worry. It’ll be safe when you go out to have fun!
Oh, it is good to say that the location you’re dropping your back at might request to open your luggage before storing, to guarantee you don’t have any illegal item in it like weapons, etc.
They offer over 250 super convenient locations and are spread across Manhattan and Brooklyn, making it quite easy for you, regardless of where you’re at or where you want to spend your time exploring.
The cost in New York?
Amazingly reasonable! It’s only $2/hour per bag and the price already includes insurance with coverage up to $3,000 for each bag, against damage, loss, and theft.
But wait! You don’t pay more than $12 per bag for the first 24 hours, so don’t worry.
They do not accept money, which is actually more convenient since you don’t need to worry with having the right currency!
So, just submit your credit card information for swift drop-off and pick-up at a LuggageHero location.
If you decide along to way, not to drop it off, don’t worry! You’re only charged when you actually drop off your bags, so you won’t be charged if you changed your mind.
And last, another great thing is that you don’t need to download any app for this. You can just go online and book everything through their website.
Seamless, fast and safe, the way New Yorkers like it!
