LUGGAGE STORAGE (THE SHARING ECONOMY)
Vertoe and the companies listed below employ a similar system to Airbnb, but for luggage.
They find convenient locations for travelers; local businesses such as souvenirs and gift shops, hotels, convenience stores, and even restaurants, and coffee houses, which have the storage space and the security to hold and secure your luggage.
Most of these services offer luggage storage locations within a few blocks of major attractions, including the following examples:
- Faneuil Hall Marketplace
- New England Aquarium
- Harvard University
- Boston Common
- Freedom Trail
- Fenway Park
- TD Garden
- And more!

SOUTH STATION LUGGAGE STORAGE OPTIONS
There is no storage at the airport but at the bus and Boston's train station, South Station, you have three options:
Amtrak
If you are taking a train with Amtrak and have a ticket, you can use their Parcel Check service for $10 per item for 24 hours.
Even if you don't have an Amtrak ticket, you may store items for $20 per item for 24 hours. Valid photo ID required).
They recommend that you check the station detail page to see if they offer this service.
Please keep in mind that just like at Boston Logan Airport, there are no storage lockers at this location. That said, they do have a luggage storage area.
Greyhound Package Express
You can store your luggage with them for $10 per bag for up to 24 hours, within their hours of operation. You can book this location through Vertoe.
Vertoe also has a location next to the station for just $2/hour and $6/day.

BOSTON'S LOGAN AIRPORT LUGGAGE STORAGE OPTIONS
Unfortunately, there are no luggage lockers or facilities available at Boston Logan International Airport. That said, there are two options that you might want to consider.
The first is a luggage-sharing option, such as Vertoe.
You can choose a location near a Boston T stop so that it's easy to gather your luggage on the way to the airport. This will require a bit of planning.
Rowes Wharf Water Taxi
This is one of the best ways to reach downtown Boston from Logan Airport, and they actually offer their passengers free luggage storage at their office.
While there are several water taxis in the area, the Rowes Wharf location is the only place where you can store your items.
They offer a special airport package for only $28 which includes pickup, storage, and return.
This is only a short-term option, as they will only hold onto your items for a short time.
It's also worth noting that they probably won't have a lot of room to store things, so this service might be limited to smaller baggage.
Other Options
If you're not interested in the storage-sharing opportunities listed above, there is one place where you might be able to store luggage and other items.
Some of the nicer hotels in Boston might be willing to hold onto your belongings for a short time if you ask nicely and tip well.
This isn't exactly the safest option out there (no insurance), and there are no guarantees that it will work out for you, but it could be a viable alternative for some visitors.
