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, some metro stations and a growing number of small “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 your luggage before you travel to the airport.

Limits of luggage storage in Prague

  • Lockers at the station can be full during high season.
  • Some shops have limited opening hours.
  • Extra costs if your flight is delayed and you’re late.
  • No live tracking or real-time updates.

If you’re travelling with kids, heavy suitcases or multiple bags, these limits start to matter a lot.

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, playgrounds or the zoo 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 you extra peace of mind.

FAQ: Luggage transfer vs storage in Prague

Is luggage transfer more expensive than storage?

Per bag, luggage transfer usually costs a bit more than a single locker – but you save money and time on extra transport across the city. For families or groups the price per person is often very similar, while the comfort is much higher.

Is it safe to use luggage transfer in Prague?

Voyli.one uses insurances, tamper-evident seals and live tracking. Your bags are scanned and photographed at pickup and at the airport hand-over so you always know where they are.

Can I use luggage transfer from any hotel or Airbnb?

Yes – we pick up luggage from hotels, hostels and most Airbnb apartments in Prague. Just make sure your host or reception knows we are coming, so they can let us 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 also be possible when we have free capacity.

Do you also offer storage without transfer?

Voyli.one focuses on same-day luggage transfer to Prague Airport. If you only need static storage, we explain other options on our luggage guides – but for most travellers flying the same day, transfer is the most comfortable choice.
