Where can I store luggage in Dover?

Dover might be one of the most underrated state capitals in the country. It's quiet compared to a lot of East Coast cities, but it's got a surprising amount going on. The Dover Air Force Base is home to the Air Mobility Command Museum, which has dozens of restored military aircraft sitting right on the tarmac. First State Heritage Park puts you right in the middle of Delaware's colonial history. Legislative Hall is where the state government does its thing, and the building itself is a handsome Georgian-style structure on the Dover Green.

Then there's the speedway. Dover International Speedway, also known as the Monster Mile, draws tens of thousands of NASCAR fans twice a year. Race weekends completely transform the city. Beyond that, downtown Dover has a growing food scene, a solid collection of small museums, and some genuinely pretty tree-lined streets. If you're driving up and down the East Coast, Dover is worth a real stop, not just a pass-through.

And all of it is better without bags. BagsAway has luggage storage locations in Dover inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your stuff and go explore. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

Where to find luggage storage in Dover

Dover is easy to get around, but you still don't want to be hauling bags while you explore. Here's where our BagDrop locations come in handy:

Downtown Dover and The Green

The Dover Green is the historic centre of town. It's where Delaware ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1787, making it the First State. Today it's surrounded by Legislative Hall, the Old State House and a handful of shops and restaurants along Loockerman Street. If you're walking the heritage trail or touring the government buildings, a BagDrop nearby keeps your hands free.

Dover Air Force Base area

The Air Mobility Command Museum is on the base grounds and it's free to visit. They've got C-5 Galaxies, C-141 Starlifters and a bunch of other Cold War-era aircraft you can walk right up to. The base area is a bit outside the centre of town, so dropping bags before you head out there means one less thing to think about.

Dover International Speedway

The Monster Mile is about two miles south of downtown and it hosts two major NASCAR Cup Series races each year. On race weekends, the area around the speedway turns into a massive tailgate. If you're coming in from out of town for the race, you don't want to carry bags through the gates and into the grandstands. Drop them at a BagDrop before the green flag drops.

First State Heritage Park

This is Delaware's first urban state park, and it links together a bunch of historic sites around the Green. The John Bell House, Biggs Museum of American Art and the Old State House are all part of it. It's a walking experience, and bags just slow you down. Leave them behind and take your time with the history.

Other luggage storage options in Dover

Dover is a smaller city, so storage options outside BagsAway are pretty thin. Here's what's available:

Dover bus station

DART First State runs bus service around Dover and the region, but the stations don't offer luggage storage. If you're arriving by bus and want to explore the city for a few hours, a BagsAway BagDrop is your best bet.

Hotel storage

Some Dover hotels will hold bags for current guests, but it depends on the property and the staff working that day. If you're not a guest, most won't take the risk. BagsAway guarantees a spot with insurance, so you're covered either way.

Dover Downs area

Dover Downs Hotel and Casino is right next to the speedway and it's a popular spot for race weekend visitors. The casino doesn't offer public luggage storage, and the hotel's bell desk only helps its own guests. If you're spending the day at the races or the casino, BagsAway has BagDrop options nearby.
