This post will help you find the best luggage storage options in Brooklyn.
In addition to standard services, we will also provide information about storage sharing and mobile options that could actually save you some money.
Standard Luggage Storage
When it comes to storing luggage, most people will head to a train station or a bus terminal.
Unfortunately, after the events of 9/11, increased security measures required that on-site storage be removed from these locations.
As a result, it's not as easy to find a place to store luggage and other belongings.
Even though the standard storage locations no longer exist, there are still some great options when it comes to storing luggage.
Nowadays, luggage storage sharing companies are the most prevalent and easiest to use in Brooklyn.
If you're planning to travel from Manhattan to Brooklyn, there are a lot of storage options in and around Midtown Manhattan that you may want to consider.
For more details, please read our post about where to store luggage in NYC.
Luggage Storage Sharing
If you're looking to store luggage in Brooklyn, this is going to be your best option.
Much like Airbnb, the idea behind storage sharing is that you're saving money by sharing the cost with several other people in the city.
There are a few companies in NYC that offer this service, but the most popular (and affordable) service is usually Vertoe.
While some of their competitors charge as much as $2 per hour or $10 per day, Vertoe's prices start at $5.95 for 24 hours of luggage storage.
This service connects you with nearby businesses (convenience stores, hotels, etc) that have space available to hold your luggage and keep it secure.
Everything you store with Vertoe will be insured to protect you from the unlikely event of damage or theft.
This service is available via either the web or a mobile app. Visit their website for more information.
Bounce
This is one of the most competitive luggage storage services in the NYC area, and they also operate in Brooklyn.
You'll find over 380 Bounce storage locations in NYC, so you won't need to travel too far before finding a place where you can drop off your luggage.
Their prices start at just $4.75/piece per day!
If you want to save even more money, you can use the promo code FREETOURSBYFOOT to get an extra 5% off at checkout.
Alternatively, you can also compare all their competitors to find a service that meets your needs by reading our post on luggage storage in New York City.
Mobile Storage
If you need to transport your luggage somewhere, you may want to consider My Bag Check.
This service is a bit like Uber, in that they send a driver to pick up your luggage and take it wherever you want.
They deliver to various hotels, train stations, and the airport.
This is a great option for people who don't want to go out of their way to get their luggage wherever it needs to be.
For more details, check the My Bag Check website.
