Drop Your Bags Off and Explore with Stasher
Tl;dr: Stasher will help you find a safe location to drop off your bags so you can get out and do things without lugging around bags while you’re waiting to check in at a hotel, depart to catch a flight, and more.
The only downside of spontaneously flying to Chile for under $150 was that the planning left a little something to be desired. We arrived several hours before our Airbnb check-in and departed several hours after our check-out, leaving us with a lot of time on our hands and, unfortunately, some unwieldy bags in our hands. While many hotels will hold onto bags for you before check-in or after check-out, most Airbnb’s will not or cannot.
This got the better of us on arrival, but when we had several hours to explore on our departure day but nowhere to leave our bags, we discovered a solution: Stasher. Stasher identifies locations (mostly hotels) that will take care of your bags for a period of time. In our case, we dropped our bags off at the Almacruz Hotel Santiago for the day for $15. Drop off and pick up was quick and easy, and we were able to walk all over the city in the meantime.
Stasher offers free cancellation, a money back satisfaction guarantee, and £2,500 in insurance for loss, damage, or theft. With over 4000 locations in hundreds of cities, it’s a great option for travelers who want to get out and about without carrying bags around.
