Where can I store luggage in Austin?

Austin is one of those cities that people visit once and immediately start figuring out how to move there. The live music scene is legendary, the food truck culture is out of control (in the best way), and there's a weird, creative energy that shows up everywhere from the murals on South Congress to the bats flying out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset. It's the kind of place where breakfast tacos are a religion and nobody judges you for eating BBQ two meals in a row.

Between SXSW, ACL, Formula 1 at Circuit of the Americas, and UT football weekends, Austin is constantly packed with visitors. The city also draws a huge number of business travellers and tech workers passing through. Whether you're here for a festival, a conference, a campus visit or just a long weekend, there's a good chance you'll end up with bags at the wrong time.

BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Austin inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, go explore. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Austin

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

Austin runs on foot traffic. You're walking down South Congress popping into shops. You're standing in line at Franklin Barbecue for three hours. You're hopping between stages at ACL in Zilker Park. None of that is fun with a suitcase. And if you've ever tried to bring luggage onto a packed 6th Street on a Saturday night, you already know the answer. BagsAway gives you a spot to drop your stuff so you can do Austin the right way.

Where to find luggage storage in Austin

Our BagDrop network covers the areas visitors spend the most time in. Here's a rundown:

6th Street and Downtown

Dirty Sixth, East Sixth, West Sixth. Each stretch has its own personality but all of them are best experienced without luggage. Downtown Austin is also where you'll find the Convention Center, the Paramount Theatre and the Congress Avenue Bridge where 1.5 million bats fly out at dusk during the warmer months. It's compact and walkable, and BagDrop locations in the area let you move from block to block without anything slowing you down.

South Congress (SoCo)

SoCo is Austin's most iconic strip. Vintage shops, food trucks, the famous "I love you so much" mural, and restaurants like Home Slice Pizza and Güero's Taco Bar line both sides of the street. It's a walking neighbourhood through and through. On weekends it's shoulder-to-shoulder with people. Store your bags at a BagDrop and spend the afternoon browsing, eating and people-watching.

Rainey Street

Rainey Street is a row of old bungalows turned into bars and restaurants. The patios are where the action is, and on warm nights the whole street fills up with people hopping from yard to yard. It's casual, it's fun, and it's definitely not the place to show up with a suitcase. Drop your stuff at a BagDrop nearby and blend right in.

UT Campus and the Drag

The University of Texas campus is massive and there's a lot to see, from the Tower to the Blanton Museum of Art to the LBJ Presidential Library. Guadalupe Street (the Drag) runs along the west side and it's full of shops, restaurants and bookstores. If you're visiting a student, attending a lecture or just exploring, a BagDrop near campus means you can walk freely without lugging your stuff across 40 acres.

Barton Springs and Zilker Park

Barton Springs Pool is a spring-fed swimming hole right in the middle of Zilker Park. The water stays around 68 degrees year-round and locals treat it like a second living room. Zilker is also where ACL takes place. Whether you're swimming, hiking the Barton Creek Greenbelt, or catching a festival, you definitely don't want bags in tow. Store them before you head to the park.

East Austin

East Austin has blown up over the past decade. It's where you'll find some of the city's best tacos, coffee shops, breweries and galleries. The vibe is creative and laid-back. Streets like East 6th, East 7th and East Cesar Chavez are packed with spots worth checking out. It's the kind of neighbourhood where you wander and discover, which works much better without a bag on your shoulder.

Other luggage storage options in Austin

Here's a look at what else is out there so you can pick what works for your trip.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)

Austin-Bergstrom doesn't have a widely available public luggage storage service in the terminals. If you've got a long layover or arrived early and want to explore the city first, a BagsAway BagDrop downtown is your best bet. The airport is about 20 minutes from downtown by car or rideshare.

Greyhound and Megabus stations

The bus stations in Austin don't offer luggage storage for travellers. If you're arriving by bus and want to spend the day exploring before your next ride, BagsAway has BagDrop locations around town.

Hotel storage

Most Austin hotels will hold bags for current guests before check-in or after check-out. Some might help non-guests, but it's not guaranteed. The catch is you'll have to go back to the hotel to retrieve your stuff, and depending on where your day takes you, that could mean a long detour in Austin traffic.

Festival and event venues

During SXSW and ACL, some venues offer coat or bag check, but it's limited, crowded and usually restricted to small items. For full-size luggage you need a real storage option. BagsAway BagDrops are available year-round and handle bags of any size.
