    BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across New Orleans

    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.

    New Orleans is one of the most visited cities in the US, and for good reason. People come for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Saints games at the Superdome, French Quarter Festival, and honestly just to eat and drink for a long weekend. A lot of those visitors end up with a bag problem. You checked out of your hotel on Decatur Street, your flight isn't until evening, and you're trying to enjoy a Sazerac at the Napoleon House while your suitcase blocks the narrow doorway. We fix that.

    Sound familiar?

    • You checked out of your hotel but your flight home isn't until tonight and you want one more plate of beignets.
    • You're doing a day trip from the cruise port and want to explore the Quarter without dragging bags around.
    • You drove in for a Saints game and don't want your stuff sitting in a hot car near the Superdome all day.
    • You're here for Jazz Fest and need somewhere to leave bags while you bounce between stages at the Fairgrounds.
    • You took the train into New Orleans and want to spend the day in the Garden District before heading out.
    • You're bar-hopping on Frenchmen Street and a backpack full of stuff is killing the vibe.

    How it works

    • Search the map for an address, neighbourhood or landmark.
    • Pick a BagDrop location and book online. Takes about 30 seconds.
    • Show up, show your confirmation, hand over your bags.
    • Come back whenever you're ready. Bags will be sealed, tagged and waiting.

    Where can I store luggage in New Orleans?

    New Orleans is unlike anywhere else in the country. The food alone is worth the trip. Beignets at Cafe Du Monde, po'boys from Parkway Bakery, gumbo from Dooky Chase's, a muffuletta from Central Grocery. Then there's the music. Walk down Frenchmen Street on any given night and you'll hear brass bands, jazz trios and funk groups spilling out of clubs with no cover charge. It's a city that runs on good food, live music and not taking itself too seriously.

    The French Quarter gets most of the attention, and it deserves it. Jackson Square, the St. Louis Cathedral, Royal Street galleries, Bourbon Street madness. But the Garden District is gorgeous with its oak-lined streets and old mansions. Magazine Street has six miles of shopping. The Warehouse District has the incredible National WWII Museum. And the streetcar rides through the city feel like time travel.

    None of that is fun if you're hauling a suitcase over uneven sidewalks and through crowded bars. BagsAway has luggage storage locations across New Orleans inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, and go eat your weight in crawfish. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

    Where to find luggage storage in New Orleans

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

    The French Quarter

    The French Quarter is the beating heart of New Orleans tourism. Jackson Square, Cafe Du Monde, Royal Street antique shops, Bourbon Street bars, the Historic Voodoo Museum and Pat O'Brien's with its famous hurricanes. The streets are narrow, the sidewalks are uneven (locals call them banquettes), and the crowds are thick, especially on weekends. Trying to roll a suitcase down Bourbon Street on a Saturday night is a contact sport. Drop your bags at a BagDrop and walk the Quarter like a local.

    Garden District and Magazine Street

    The Garden District is one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in America. Huge antebellum mansions, live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, and Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 right in the middle of it all. Magazine Street runs along its edge for six miles, packed with boutiques, galleries, coffee shops and restaurants. The St. Charles streetcar rolls right through the area. It's a walking neighbourhood, and the cracked sidewalks and tree roots make rolling luggage a real pain. Leave your bags behind and take your time.

    Frenchmen Street and the Marigny

    Frenchmen Street is where the locals go for live music. It's a few blocks east of the French Quarter in the Faubourg Marigny neighbourhood, and on any given night you can hear jazz, brass bands, funk and blues pouring out of spots like The Spotted Cat, d.b.a., and The Maison. The clubs are small and packed, so having a bag with you is not ideal. Stash your stuff at a BagDrop and just bring yourself and some cash for tips.

    Warehouse District and the WWII Museum

    The Warehouse District (also called the Arts District) sits between the French Quarter and the Garden District. The National WWII Museum is the star attraction here, and it's genuinely one of the best museums in the country. Plan on spending at least half a day. There are also galleries, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and some great restaurants like Cochon and Compere Lapin. The WWII Museum has strict bag policies for large items, so storing your luggage beforehand is a smart move.

    Superdome and Central Business District

    The Caesars Superdome is where the Saints play and where some of the biggest events in the city happen, from the Sugar Bowl to major concerts. The Central Business District surrounds it with hotels, restaurants and the Smoothie King Center where the Pelicans play. On event days, security is tight and large bags will slow you down or get turned away at the gate. Use a BagDrop nearby and walk in with just your ticket and your phone.

    Uptown and Audubon Park

    Uptown is a residential neighbourhood with tree-lined streets, Tulane and Loyola universities, and Audubon Park with its zoo and gorgeous walking paths. The St. Charles streetcar runs right through it. If you're visiting campus, jogging through the park, or grabbing a snowball from a neighbourhood stand, you don't need bags weighing you down.

    Other luggage storage options in New Orleans

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

    Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)

    The new MSY terminal opened in 2019 and it's a nice facility, but it doesn't have public luggage storage lockers. If you've got a late flight and want to spend your last hours eating and drinking in the city, grab a BagsAway BagDrop in the Quarter or Warehouse District. The airport is about 30 minutes from downtown by car.

    New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal (Amtrak)

    The Amtrak station is in the Central Business District near the Superdome. There are no public luggage lockers or storage services at the station. If you're arriving by train and want to explore before heading to your hotel, BagsAway has BagDrop locations within a short walk.

    Hotel storage

    Most hotels in the French Quarter and CBD will hold bags for current guests before check-in or after check-out. A few might help non-guests, but it's hit or miss. The issue is having to go back to that exact hotel later, which can eat into your last few hours in the city.

    Cruise port (Julia Street Terminal)

    The cruise terminal on Julia Street sometimes has a bag drop service on sailing days, but it's inconsistent and only available during specific hours. If you're arriving early or have a gap before boarding, a BagsAway BagDrop in the Warehouse District is a short walk away and available on your schedule.
