➡️ Price per bag: $5.95 for every 24 hours.
Vertoe is the biggest on-demand, short-term storage provider in the US, with over 40 locations in Boston alone—many of which are open 24/7 to give you access to your luggage anytime.
Their basic rate is the second cheapest option on this list. However, they have the highest insurance, which could reach up to $5000. That way, you’ll be sure that your luggage is in safe hands while you go enjoy your tour.
Although the website itself doesn’t have any size or weight restrictions, some places will have weight restrictions, with a maximum of 35 kg per bag. If your luggage exceeds that limit, they could either charge it as two bags, or they’ll refuse it.
Finally, if you need to cancel your booking any time before the check-in date, you’ll get refunded in full. If you cancel after the check-in date, you won’t get any refund.
Bounce
➡️ Price per bag: $5.90 for every 24 hours.
Scoring the cheapest price on the list, you’ll find more than 100 places in Boston on Bounce to store your luggage. Chances are you’ll find a place near you within walking distance.
Whether it’s a retail store, a gym, or a hair salon, bounce locations are everywhere around you. Each of these places provides a designated storage area that’s off-limits to their customers to keep your luggage safe and away from human traffic.
Not only does Bounce offer the cheapest booking price, but it also has the highest insurance rate. Should anything happen to your luggage, Bounce offers a $10,000 BounceShield™️ guarantee.
Nannybag
➡️ Price per bag: $6 for every 24 hours.
Nannybag helps you find a “nanny” for your bags, which could be anywhere from cafes and restaurants to shops and hotels.
Depending on the place and its facilities, you could also get access to Wi-Fi, power outlets, or toilets included in your booking as part of the package.
Along with the different perks, you get safety insurance up to $1,000 with every booking to ensure your bags are safe and secured. If anything happens to your luggage during its time with the nanny, you’re entitled to get your insurance money.
Another thing we love about Nannybags is that nannies can accept all types of baggage, from suitcases to backpacks, as long as it’s under 30 kgs (66 pounds) and its dimensions are shorter than 1.5 meters (60 inches).
If you need to store something larger than these specifications, you could divide your bag or package into two smaller ones. That way it’ll fit the nanny’s size and weight specifications.
Last but not least, if your plans change and you need to cancel your booking, you can do so free of charge.
