BagsAway vs Excess Baggage: Toronto Pearson Bag Storage

    Excess Baggage Company runs staffed bag storage inside Toronto Pearson, before security, in Terminal 1 (arrivals level) and Terminal 3 (check-in level). It serves airport passengers and staff, asks for photo ID and a flight number, and charges per item for set time periods. BagsAway is a different model: staffed partner shops and hotels across Toronto, booked online and priced by the hour.

    When the airport counter is the better choice

    • You're staying at or near the airport and want to drop bags without leaving the terminal.
    • You're storing for several days while you travel elsewhere.

    When BagsAway is the better choice

    • You want to explore the city for a few hours or a day without your luggage, and collect it on your way back.
    • You've checked out of a downtown hotel and your flight or train leaves later.
    • You're not flying, so an airport counter that only serves passengers isn't an option.

    BagsAway has locations near Pearson Terminal 1 arrivals and Terminal 3 departures, and downtown near Union Station & UP Express, about 25 minutes from Pearson on the UP Express. BagsAway prices storage per bag by the hour, shown before you pay. Bags are kept at staffed partner shops and hotels, sealed with a security tag, and every booking includes up to $2,500 protection per order. Free cancellation up to 1 hour before your booking.
