When classic luggage storage in Prague is enough
Luggage storage in Prague can still be a good option in some situations. You’ll find lockers at Prague Main Train Station and a growing number of “luggage storage shops”.
- You carry just one small bag or backpack.
- Your accommodation is very close to a storage place.
- You don’t mind returning there before going to the airport.
- You are comfortable navigating public transport with your bags.
In these cases a locker might be the cheapest solution — just be ready to spend part of your last day walking back and forth to pick up luggage before the airport trip.

Real Prague scenarios — storage vs transfer
Family with kids and evening flight
You check out at 11:00, your flight leaves at 20:30. With storage you: drop bags, entertain kids, return for bags, then head to the airport.
With luggage transfer you simply leave the bags at the door, explore parks or playgrounds and go straight to the airport.

Couple staying in an Airbnb far from the centre
Your Airbnb host can’t store your luggage and the nearest locker is two tram rides away. That means an extra trip just to move bags around the city.
With Voyli.one we pick up your luggage directly at the Airbnb door and you spend the day in the centre without thinking about where your suitcases are.

Short business trip with laptop and cabin suitcase
If you have only one small cabin bag and spend the day near the Main Station, a locker might be enough — especially if your flight is earlier in the afternoon.
But if you carry more electronics or want to move freely between meetings, insured luggage transfer gives extra peace of mind.

FAQ: Luggage transfer vs storage in Prague
Is luggage transfer more expensive than storage?
Per bag, transfer usually costs more than a single locker — but you save time and money on extra trips across the city. For families or groups the price per person is often similar, while the comfort is much higher.
Is it safe to use luggage transfer in Prague?
Voyli.one uses insurance, tamper-evident seals and live tracking. Bags are scanned and photographed at pickup and at the airport hand-over.
Can I use luggage transfer from any hotel or Airbnb?
Yes — pickup is available for hotels, hostels and most Airbnbs in Prague. Make sure reception/host knows about pickup so they can let the driver in.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least the day before your flight, especially in high season. Same-day requests may be possible when there’s free capacity.
Do you also offer storage without transfer?
Voyli.one focuses on same-day transfer to Prague Airport. For static storage there are lockers and storage shops — for most people flying the same day, transfer is the most comfortable option.
