Frequently Asked Questions
Does Penn Station have luggage storage or lockers?
No. Penn Station does not have coin lockers or an official luggage storage facility. This changed after 9/11 when station lockers were removed from most major NYC transit hubs. The closest options are Bounce and Stasher partner locations within a 5-minute walk on the surrounding streets.
Does Grand Central Terminal have luggage storage?
Grand Central has no on-site luggage storage. The nearest options are Bounce and Stasher partner locations on Lexington Avenue and the surrounding midtown East blocks, most within a 3–10 minute walk of any terminal exit.
How much does luggage storage cost in NYC?
Bounce charges from $6/bag/day. Stasher starts at $7.50/bag/day. Both charge per bag regardless of size — a carry-on costs the same as a large suitcase. Hotels sometimes offer storage to guests at no charge; ask at the front desk if you're checking in or out.
Is it safe to store luggage with Bounce or Stasher?
Yes. Both services are well-established with thousands of verified NYC reviews. Bounce insures each bag up to $1M; Stasher provides up to $3,000 coverage. Partner locations are vetted local businesses — shops, cafés, and hotels — not random individuals. You get a receipt and a unique tag at drop-off.
Can I store bags for multiple days?
Yes. Both Bounce and Stasher support multi-day storage. The daily rate applies per day. If you're visiting NYC for 2–3 days, book a multi-day window upfront — it's the same per-bag rate. For longer storage (a week+), consider a hotel concierge or dedicated storage facilities in Midtown.
Do I need to book ahead, or can I walk in?
You must book online in advance — walk-ins are not accepted. Booking takes under 2 minutes on either app or website. On busy travel days (holiday weekends, summer Fridays) nearby slots can fill up, so booking a few hours ahead is smart.
